I am falling behind on my throwing goal…but I am choosing more and more difficult tricks as time goes on. I am currently working on the last half of ‘Organized’ and plan to complete it before I go to bed tonight. I figure I can learn an easier trick on top of a more difficult one over the weekend and double up a day, so I can still achieve my 1 trick a day for January goal. ---

Day 5 did not go the way I planned and I tried learning the trick ‘Organized’ during day 6, but without success. The 2nd day was not a total failure though, as I managed to get in a trick for the day. I ended up learning Jade Whip. This may seem like an easier trick to most people, but I have never really wanted to learn whip or slack tricks before, as they did not really appeal to me at the time. I will take this time to learn some whip and slack tricks and incorporate them into my style in the future. I have no clue what I’m going to learn for day 1/17, possibly Lotus Bloom, but It may end up being a slack trick or another whip, who knows 😃 ---

Day 10 - 1/20: Superman…I am at the very last step where you pop the yoyo through the triangle for the dismount and I have been trying for the last 2 hours non-stop and I cannot land it. Also, when I say 2 hours non-stop, I literally mean 2 hours, no breaks, just straight throwing. I was in the zone…but at the same time wasn’t. I can at least nail the whole trick perfectly including the string rejection almost everytime now. I technically got it through the triangle a few times, but it wasn’t clean and I wasn’t able to bind it, so I don’t count it as completed. I may have to re-evaluate my goals, as this 1 trick a day may have been a bit much to tackle. Especially, since I am not attempting relatively simple tricks, I’m trying to do more complex ones that I never learned or have wanted to learn. I’ll try and learn a few easier ones in between so I can at least meet my goal for January. ---

1. Reach out and meet more yo’ers. - Met up with Kulazndoode … we had a couple sessions already this month. this cool guy let me beat up his yo’s 1. Record and post 2 videos a week… so I can see my progression thru the year and get some feedback from the community on how i can improve my skills -on track so far… posted 2 last week. recording and editing on my iphone/ipad makes this easy to do 2. Keep a yoyo diary of sorts on tricks learned, the feedback i get from my videos, etc… ---

Keep a yoyo diary of sorts on tricks learned, the feedback i get from my videos, etc… That’s actually a really good idea to record your progress on video. I may have to steal that idea 🙂 Post a link to your youtube channel, I’m sure we’d all love to see it. I know I would. ---

Didnt really read through the thread, but from what I did read mine are pretty similar. - with va states out of the way I got my first competition over with, got 12th. I was impressed with myself but I have a lot to work on. - throw everyday, - throw more often - have less yoyos - develop my style more, specifically my finishes, slacks, and zoning. And lastly, make a video every month or so showing the tricks and concepts I’m working on. (1 down, another in the works) 🙂 ---
