Really enjoying the picks this year. So far everything is new to me. Thanks!
Edit - just noticed the catch after the bind got cut off, i swear it’s my lazy editing not a cover up of a miss.

This was a really fun one to learn. Week 6 will be coming at somepoint but haven’t had as much time to throw so not had the chance to refine those hops yet.

Week 8 — Pancake Flip by Bella Freestylin’

This week’s trick is pancake flip. A couple of little tips:

  1. Don’t forget to switch to your thumb near the beginning. If you want to, you can even just land the trapeze over your thumb.
  2. A big part of the trick is the timing of the flips. Starting the TH with a little rotation basically immediately after the undercut helped me (you can see it at :29 in Bella’s video).
  3. If you need to, don’t be afraid to almost pinch the string against your hand with your NTH thumb to maintain the slack. It can help get the motion down while you’re learning.

This is a fun one, if you learn it quickly, take a look at Akitoshi Tokubuchi’s escape from the end — there’s a lot of similarity in the movements.

I’m just a day late on #7.

This one was really cool. A good difficulty level for me that it took a while to learn, but not too difficult where I couldn’t get it.

Now on to trying to learn pancake flip.
