First trick of the year is going to be this one from yoyowen. It’s got a couple basic elements put together in a simple but flashy combo. As always, please reach out if you’re having trouble with an element either in this thread or reaching out to @digitalcharlie or @Splizacular directly.

Notes from Charlie:

Notes on the trick:

1. This trick is built on a gerbil skeleton without the rolls, so this is also a great chance to refine a pretty core trick.

Variations

1. Gerbil or nothing by Doc Pop [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xz6Zcy4Ifas](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xz6Zcy4Ifas)

2. Looking for more inspiration? Nate Martsolf did a remix contest a few years back, and some of the takes are pretty neat. [Classic Trick Remix (March)-SUBMIT HERE! - #65 by GoYoYuRu](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/classic-trick-remix-march-submit-here/334974/65)

Good luck, have fun, and happy 2025!!
