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 very fun trick to learn:
Keep 'em coming!!!
TaW #7 - Uptown Bounce
Week 7 uptown bounce
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:
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
Here’s my take:

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.
You are on it!!! I love seeing your genuine excitement and joy when you hit these tricks.
Thanks so much! The excitement is REAL!! lol Thomas and Charlie are doing such a great job choosing these tricks!!
Isn’t this one fun!!?! Great to see you jammin again!
Ayyyyy!! There he is!!
I agree! This one had just enough difficulty but not too hard! It’s so amazing to complete these tricks…We are all definitely leveling UP!!
Caught up on week 6! Onto pancake flip
I got that down after ten minutes of trying. I obsessed over forming the upside down triangle for about two hours. (Maybe a bit less than that). I finally was satisfied with the result. Turns out I was doing it fine all along. In the beginning I was lifting both my hands in an exaggerated fashion with no reason but unconscious reflex. Anyways, enough yapping :
Bro don’t hate me but i think you might have missed something here bc the upside down gt didnt form. You want to hit the top string and it looks like you didn’t do that. Like taw isnt skill addicts and theres no real like must be exactly correct so just uh fyi no need to like redo it or anything
