Definitely not too fast, that was like perfect speed. Fast enough to not waste any time, but any capable judge should still be able to score that. I mean people like Iori Yamaki and Mickey are light speed and they still score fine!
I probably wouldn’t go that fast if I was just slumming around the house (or I might, because it looks like fun to keep trying to push the maximum speed!) but for competition it’s great. Don’t listen to the “I do it for the flow, maaannnn” hipsters. Flow is great, but you had smoothness and control and yes, flow, while still going hecka fast.
If you where putting it in a routine I might do some slower stuff before and after it.
Often times opposites make each other stand out more, so it seems like a good routine would have some of both.
I’m not saying underwater slow, but if you do something slow and then fast and then slow, it might make the fast stand out more as to how fast it really is.
Shakespeare often pairs characters together that are complete opposites in order to highlight their differences.
That was awesome! personally I don’t think there is a “too Fast” when yoyoing at contests. All though, if you are performing in front of people who don’t know how to yoyo, then I think its better too slow down, so they can keep track of what you are doing. Also I want a tutorial for that jump rope trick you did! that was gnarly!
