The "I Finally Landed It!" Thread

It took me like an hour to get split the atom smooth, didn’t think it was that hard :stuck_out_tongue:

I finally got that trick/maneuver where you do something that looks like the first part of yuuki slack and end up in an hourglass mount.

Really? The split bottom mount took me like almost a month, and split the atom took the rest of the month.
I guess I “finally” landed ninja vanish. I didn’t know when to learn it, so I just learned it now. It took me like 45 min to land my first one XD now I can land it 2 out of 3 times.

I just landed PACMAN. I love it!

Horizontal DON slack to skin the gerbil to brother mount revolutions ended with a suicide bind ;D

A Grind Bind
Bergy Amputee Shirt or whatever it is called.

Amputee shirt is a sick trick. I find it really hard to do without really whippy string though. With regular string I can never get the initial whip to have the momentum it needs.

It is really cool looking. I landed Amputee Shirt first try with Chaos 422 String. I was able to hit it with polyester after a few tries.

I landed it no problem after a couple minutes with Toxi Dragons after Ferdico taught me at MAS. Never really practiced it since. I can sometimes land really whippy tricks like that or brent stole with regular string, but I have to whip my arm so hard it makes me sore XD

Nice dude. It is a fun trick:P

I wish I could say Bergy himself taught me (he was at MA states), but I never talked to him.

Been working on a new Style for Ohio States:

a preview I guess?

Bergy is a boss. I wish I could meet him in person. And it turns out that I learned the trick wrong so I relearned it the right way:P

Black Hops.

I placed higher than him at NER… lol

Then again almost everyone did. Wasn’t his day I guess, he really messed up a lot. At MAS though he just completely destroyed. Quite a comeback.

I know that I’ve mentioned this trick previously, but I just landed 16 Split Bottom Mounts in a row. My streak was broken when my girlfriend came home and distracted me. 30 minute prior, I was landing like 1/5 of them, so this was a huge improvement. I’m hoping that I’ll it completely down tomorrow.

One question though, after I’m in the mount, sometimes the yoyo is tilted to the side. Is there a way to fix that while in the mount?

Yes, actually. I find its easier to learn on a trapeze.
You move the strings to the side and touch the side if the yoyo, and it will tilt, bare with me here.
if you land a trapeze, and take your throw hand and move it away from you, so it’s toching the side if the yoyo thats away from you, it will tilt so the side of the yoyo facing you, will tilt down. Its really hard to explain…

Move your throwhand either to the left/right depending on the spin of the yoyo- just experiment and see which direction tilts the yoyo back to normal

Nice.

not saying they’re necessary to learn, but even though I can do awesome string tricks; Eiffel Tower and Jamaican flag always seem to amaze. It’s on a walk the dog level I think, classic but mind blowing to yuggles.
