Happy New Year! Let’s get trick-a-week going again! I do not have all the details all worked out, so anyone who is willing and able to help out please message me! Trick ideas are great, but if you are willing to post and help teach tricks, even a couple times throughout the year, let me know!

For the first trick let’s do White Buddha! This is a classic Paul Escolar trick, and there are a bunch of tutorials already, including a series on YYE. If you’ve learned Buddha’s Revenge, this is a good one to learn next!
Good luck and please let me know if you have any questions on the trick! I’ll post my submission tomorrow

Glad to see TaW is back!! I learned this trick a long time ago but I had forgot with a responsive yoyo you don’t pull hard at the fake trapeze at the end you pull slow. Luckily once I turned on the camera it went smooth, maybe 2026 won’t be so frustrating recording ha.

The transition from the brother mount to the 1.5 is what’s stopping me up right now, it’s either binding on me or I’m just feeling clunky while doing it.

I remember it snagged alot on me right there at first and happened a couple times tonight responsive. I think staying on plane is the key to get through that without snagging. White buddha is a weird trick where the yoyo can get thrown off plane real easy.
Also maybe try rolling into a smaller amount of string when you tuck into the 1.5. If you roll into it with a big loop of string I’ve noticed it causes snagging too.

Switched to some OT normal and was able to clean it up a little.
I liked this take because I accidentally snuck in one of my autopilots, 1.5 kwijibo to DoN. Still looked okay though. The brother to 1.5 I want to clean up a little more, and the Kamuraiju has a little more power than I’m used to, that bind was out of control, lol. Just posting this, don’t want to be a perfectionist and not end up posting.

I tried. I think I’m able to land it occasionally, but am still having trouble with the ending. Not my best attempt, but got annoyed trying to film it and didn’t want to keep trying. This was fun, I will continue to work on getting better and smoothing things out.

Awesome job everyone!
I agree the ending is a tricky point. I agree with @Yooo’s advice: try to stay on plane and keep the throw hand loop small in that brother mount.
The other thing I think helps is once you’re in brother mount, hop the yoyo UP and off the string before you drop that throw hand loop.
Emphasis on hopping up, no snag:
No hop, dropping loop, bind/snag:
Hope this helps, lmk if there’s any other sticking points

For me, the toughest part is getting the strings wide enough so that I can get the yoyo in between them
