The "I Finally Landed It!" Thread

^^ That’s pretty cool, but I personally don’t see that as being a tower trick. A bunch of crossed strings does not a tower make. However, it’s impressive regardless, and you can drop it to a GT if you need an identifiable structure.

You need to adjust the strings after the rejection to make the tower look “proper”.

No matter how much you adjust the tension, the strings are in the wrong place for what I think of as a tower. Saw John Higby do this AWESOME tower variation; just had more crossed-strings in the middle making it look even more like a “tower”… that’s a tower, too, IMO. But the one in that video isn’t one-- again, in my opinion.

When you show a tower picture trick to a yuggle, they should say, “neat, looks like the Eiffel Tower!”. If you look at it and think “I’m not sure what that’s meant to be,” it’s probably not a tower.

I didn’t mean the string tension.

I meant you need to shift the strings around to make it look like a tower.

I knew what you meant, I was just replying using the same language. The rest of what I said is the real message: the strings aren’t in the right place for a “tower” as I think of tower tricks.

Okay, so I watched the video, and I have to agree with Greg. But I also agree with noonar. I can see the tower clearly, but there is a string or two in front of it. and a non yoyoer wouldn’t think to ignore it or look behind it, kinda. I wouldn’t learn this trick =/

made my own combo
suicidal coaster

you do a trapeze suicide then a brother slack then a double or nothing suicide matrix style

also finaly landed white budda

White Buddha…

I remember that trick. I should go back and learn that, not to mention Plan D and Haddock…

Trapeze Follow! Trapeze Follow! Only took what… 2 weeks? Not bad!

Finally decoded a Peter Pong combo and busted it out twice tonight. Pretty happy about it.

The best Shoot the Moon yoyo ever is the Henry’s Viper. I laid down in my room, on the floor, and did over 5,400 reps without a break.

This isn’t really “finally”, but I landed Branding after about 15 minutes.
