For me, I consider my style to be whips, slacks, and rejections which all often (hopefully) lead to cool picture tricks. I would like my style to have all those mentioned above + be flowy which I’m constantly working on but can’t say I have achieved. What about you guys? Would you say you have achieved your ideal style? Or are you trying to be more technical, flowy, whippy, etc? ---

I have two styles. A contest style and a video/play style. Contest: Smooth, speed, maybe a little tech and slack but I try to avoid too much of that Video/Play: Technical, slack What I want them to be? Exactly that ---

My current style is pretty simplistic,mild slack, not much tech, I put most of my focus on getting it to flow right, still in progress. example: [www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4P4b702iNs](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4P4b702iNs) What I want my style to be like is: Dense tech, more expressive slack, a bit more body involved, odd. ---

Just re-capturing this old aspect of my life. I have no apparent style yet since I am starting from the bottom up. It will come though. ---

What is my style??? From watching others videos, I’d guess it be slow? There must be a better way to describe my style. Not sure whether my tricks fall under complex or simple. Maybe it’s just smooth? Could it be flowy? Is it tech? I’d like to one day yoyo like Harold Owens III. I can dream… ---

At one point I actually knew a variety of tricks, but my style has slowly devolved to the point where pretty much everything I do is just a variation on basic stuff like gerbil, boingy, kwijibo, etc. In other words, very basic hops and loops. Fairly fast and decently flowy, but certainly nothing that would impress you lot, and I’m perfectly fine with that. I just do the tricks that feel good to me. ---

Honestly, I’m trying to make a trick as complicated as possible, even if I have to sacrifice speed or slack. I learn tricks that are smoother and less complicated, but I try to make up my tricks. Unfortunately, that makes it pretty hard to make up tricks because of how complicated I want it to be.
