Coming along nicely.
I notice that your tricks in all styles tend to have pauses in between elements. Work on smoothening those out before moving on to other styles and tricks.
Try to focus on keeping everything in one fluid motion.
Think of it like the difference between driving in a crowded city, versus driving on an open highway. In the crowded city, you stop and go, and it results in stress on a driver. Similarly, stop and starts in yoyo tricks give the trick a āstressfulā feel to them, and it causes the trick to be visually unappealing.
On the flip side, driving on an open freeway, you start, go on one smooth (hopefully) journey, and reach your destination and stop. The feeling is very open and free, and in the same way, your yoyo trick will have a very open and free feeling to it.
When you do your tricks, instead of focusing on elements, just for a bit to see where you are at, watch the motion of the yoyo and see if you are making the yoyo make āstopsā at any points where nothing is in much motion. The more consistent and continuous your speed is, the more your trick will be pleasant to watch, and as a result, will have a more professional feeling to them.
Dont worry about being good/bad, living in a world of polarity where we constantly have to categorize and compare ourselves to others or to some made up āstandardā
If you enjoy it, you are the greatest yoyo player i know! Keep at it bud!
Man, itās always striking to me to watch young players with their long-seeming strings. In actuality, your string is probably about the right length for the kinds of tricks you want to do, but it just SEEMS so long.
Keep up the good work, and more importantly-- keep having fun!
Donāt wear a white shirt with bright string. The best outcome would come with a black sweater/shirt with a black background and a bright light. Grab some neon yellows and youāre on your way. So far all your lacking is the fluidity that comes with time. Keep throwing, dude.
I know youāre used to it, but I would definitely shorten the Atmosphere string and learn to tie a proper slipknot. Youāll adjust to the length quickly and I think youāll really like it and feel more confident and comfortable. Give it a shot at least! ;D Glad youāre having fun and doing more than just 1A!!!
To your belly button? No way, thatāll be too short. The final length AFTER slipknot loopā¦ could be maybe 2 inches above your belly button? Who knows. Giveār a go.
