I thought Kwyjibo looked pretty insane a while ago and now I can do it kind of consistently. The hardest part of learning a trick is doing it fast AND consistent. ---

I learned to yo pre internet so trapeze was a huge celebration on my red Duncan Imperial! I’ll never forget that moment. I didn’t even know the trick had a name, I had just seen it done on television. One of the most valued moments I remember in yoyoing as it really got me excited to do more. You can laugh if you want, I still was stoked that day. ---

Pre-internet or not, landing eli hops or a trapeze or better on an Imperial, I am impressed! I landed trapeze and double or nothing on my Unleashed and Fireball ---

There are kinda land mark tricks IMO… Like at one point I looked up at the matrix, I celebrated when I landed kwijibo, fell apart to make spirit bomb fall together… And now I look down on ladder escape and the rest of the master section, and am working on my own tricks and free styles ---

I always was like yuuki slack whuuuuuut??? Tried and tried. Then I got a canvas and hamstring. Whaaalaaahh! Thank you ham/clyw. No joke. I still am like whuuuut to: Spirit bomb. I can do like Ladder Escape, plan D, haddock… Not spirit bomb. I have the first 2 steps DOWN PERFECT. I just cannot get that last pop into that triangle. Oh yea seasick I really wish I could but don’t care that I can’t do it as I know with practice I could but I would rather learn other stuff. ;D Tyler Severwhatever cant even do it. ---

Nothing since has taken as much time or effort as landing that first trapeze. I remember just watching that Cherry Bomb slack-jawed, as it sat there spinning until it died and fell off the string.

That moment is why I’m still here… For me it was when my dad taught me to throw old-school tricks on a cheap wooden yoyo I found when I was about 8 or so, I wouldn’t pick it back up for years, but since then, I have always been very interested in yoyos. ---

Looping just doesn’t appeal to me so I’ve never put the time in to actually master it. On a brighter note, I just got the hang of brent stole after 3 days of trying. First whip trick I’ve gotten down, so kinda psyched. For a while there I started thinking it just wasn’t gonna happen, but finally clicked. whew! ---
