I’d like to increase the amount of tricks I learn. Ive been finding myself content in the plateaus between skill jumps and I’m going to be better about learning more.
1A. More hooks, learn some more slack tricks, add some wrist mount tricks.
5A. More, just more. 5A has become crazy fun for me, both responsive and unresponsive.
In terms of collecting I hope to stick to my self-enforced collection guidelines of matching colorway, manufacturer, and playstyle in neat rows on my little 24 slot shelf. Its almost full and 2023 will test my self-control for selling a yoyo to make room for new ones.
I’d like to learn one frontstyle slack trick. This would be my only slack trick and I’m fine with that. The tutorials just make my head dizzy and I can’t comprehend it.
Holy smokes! thanks so much for those comments. I have heard stories from people bringing the KnuckleYo to unimaginable places that are hard or difficult to bring a throw and being able to use it.
Knowing that you have set goals towards improving your skills by using it, it is a big compliment--
Being fairly new to unresposive play (5 months), I want to continue keep learning tricks. I’m enjoying the challenge of learning green triangle tricks, whips, and slacks, however frustrating they are to learn. I also haven’t done much in the way of learning tech tricks. I’ve watched some tutorials and it just baffles my mind at the moment. I’d like to sit down and actually start to learn some tech elements and try to make sense of some of those tricks.
My next goal is to create a one-minute prelim routine that consists entirely of tricks of my own.
On january 1st i will start the “5 Minutes of 5A Challenge”.
That means, whenever i have Time for a yo-yo session, i will play 5A at least for 5 minutes.
I always wanted to learn 5A but always had not enough time or some excuses to not keep consistently at it.
Necromancing this thread because it was interesting to see everyone’s goals and I want to slap some of mine down here to look back on.
—expand my yocabulary by continuing to learn new tricks and doing the TaW each week
—educate myself on the history of Yoyo and learn more about the most influential and important players of days past, as well as the current state of Yoyo. Both in the competitive scene and out of it.
—play with inside loops at least 5 mins a day until I can do at least 20 separately then alternating
—make a repeater that I’m proud to share with hashtagtrickcircle
—go Godspeed
—0a spirit bomb and maybe black hops…at least cascade this year…
—make a non-repeater trick I’m proud to share with hashtagtrickcircle
—go see a yo-yo competition
—figure out how to get my SO okay with 4a and get something to use for offstring. Then learn offstring basics.
—nail the double slack at the beginning of tsukasa namba 4
—be a positive influence on the community and contribute to interesting conversations
—figure out how to do the last goal while spending less time on the forum
That’s it for this year! Hope everyone is making progress with their goals!
My goal is to get better with my 1A skills cause I’m lacking heavily in precision
I also want to expand my wood collection. I’ve focused on plastic and some mono metal and have ignored wood but wood is good and I want to explore that space more.
This whole post aged poorly and its only April lol. I now have almost filled my 2 shelves, added a 3rd shelf and its almost full lol.
Still finding myself content in the plateaus, but there are new tricks. I have only learned one new hook, 1.5, since then, and zero slacks lol. I have learned some new tech though. Havent played much 5A either lol.
