Very happy to say I got one ugly successful run through…i don’t think I’ll have this on video by tomorrow… im going to be fixed axel only in Feb so I’ll have to revisit this in March. Edit… started to land it a bit, catching that Slack is deff the most challenging part. Might post a sloppy video tomorrow if i can 😜🤪😝 ---

Got this banged out before Fixed Axle February.

Having a great time with this trick - but anyone else having binding issues “wrapping” out of the green triangle over the hand, and when “dropping” the yoyo into the bottom string after that? It keeps binding if I move slower than a snails pace and I cannot figure out why. ---

I was initially having this problem too. I found this happened more if I caught my first GT closer to my none throw hand… So instead I catch it closer to my throw hand, giving me more string in my non throw hand and less around the bearing (less likely to bind). ---

First trick of February! This week is Bonesplint, a Tyler Vienneau trick. For those of you who prefer spoken tutorials, there’s a second tutorial for you to check out. It’s a really fun and flowy trick, and practicing this can help you play cleaner in general. This trick is all about keeping the strings taut while playing against the spin, so you don’t snag.

His tutorials are great, he’s got a lot of really solid breakdowns of a lot of tricks. The only thing worth noting is that his version of Bonesplint is just slightly different. After he swings the yoyo around his TH index and does the string hit on the bottom string, he just uses that string hit as a redirect to swing the yoyo back around to undo the twist. In the OG version of the trick from Tyler you immediately land on the string after the wrap around your index, then do a subtle rejection to undo that extra wrap. I do the version with the rejection in my clip. That being said, if anybody is struggling with that rejection and wants a slightly easier variation of the trick, check out the second tutorial!
