My addition is a hand grab fakie, I saw Joseph Stromme do it before and loved it. If it’s not clean enough, let me know, and I will try again.
After the fake grab there is a pinwheel move that is done prior to getting it back on trapeze, if a slow mo or more info is needed, let me know please, happy to help

I’ve been googling and having a hard time finding a shuvit tutorial, if anyone has a link please drop me one
I keep watching the video above and it looks like Jerrod just taps his fingertips together and it does some magic twisty thing. I tapped mine with no magic twisty success

It’s a Varial motion with your TH combined with a similar forward motion with your NTH to make the yoyo spin, and bringing your hands closer together to allow the string and loop to twist together. When it’s just about to fully untwist to trapeze, give it a little toss in the air, releasing your NTH index from the loop. The yoyo spins 360 degrees and you catch the loop back on your NTH index. When the string is untwisting, if you pull the strings, it will untwist faster. Faster Shuvits are harder to catch. Let it just untwist on its own cause a slower spinning Shuvit will give you more reaction time. You can also put your NTH thumb into the loop to open the loop wider, which makes it easier to catch. You can also put your NTH thumb under the string on your TH allowing you to reach over with your TH and spin the yoyo by tapping it to create the twist, like I do in the video below, and I’m cool with that if you want to do it here. I think Overtinkering made a Shuvit tutorial, probably on his YouTube channel. I probably won’t have time to make a video tutorial today, but if I do, I will.

If I had figured out the Varial motion a month earlier I would have 10000% have stolen the Shuvit name from Drew lol. Like… you literally shove it and it’s a way easier trick than his hahah. I need to do more of his - such a brilliant way to initiate that spin AND keep the loop intact.

I successfully learned the shuvit thing! You guys rock, then I jacked up the landing on Oscars undermount and mildly tweaked my back lol (I’ll live but I’m out this round lol.)
My favorite thing about this thread is the encouragement and learning new tricks from each other, you guys rock, and thank you for not whipping out some mystics on us @Jerrod like @Lydia did (jkjk, I can finally do that one mystic trick and it feels good)

Varial is such a great trick. I think it’s the best fixed axle trick of all time(a lot of people would probably say Kickflip, or something else, and they aren’t wrong). It looks really cool, it’s a good “feeling” trick, there’s so many things you can do with it, and it’s so uniquely fixed axle. Shuvit would have been a good name for it, but Varial is great too and I think it’s fitting. Thank goodness you still had a fitting skate themed name to pick, that’s not always the case lol.
If I had to pick a trick that I personally enjoy doing the most, it would probably be Shuvit. I just really dig it. It’s not a trick you see often, except from you or Drew. I don’t know if it’s perceived as “too tough”, “scary”, or simply misunderstood. I think it’s one of the core, classic, fixed axle tricks that should be on everyone’s list to add to their 0A toolbox.

Varials are starting to kick in for me too finally. Had taken my nieces to the emergency vet yesterday and one of them was feeling uncomfortable about the situation (hearing discouraging things) and had walked off to the waiting area in tears. I went over to comfort her and then went to show her some fixed axle tricks once she was starting to relax some. Her face lit up when I successfully landed the varial. (We were earlier talking about activities that don’t require being plugged in)
Thankfully the pet made it through the procedure and is back home now

Decided to toss on some Icy Hot on the back and try again.
I tacked on a Double or Nothing Stall
@Jerrod That tip of using non throw hand and spreading fingers to open the catch loop really helped, thank you

Is that the purple heart alpha? I almost pulled the trigger on one the other day but held off when I saw the weight.
