I’m trying out double and triple Ninja Vanish. Can hit the double, but not consistently, and I think I’m starting to get triple a bit better, but still haven’t landed one yet.

Your favorite yoyo is the Summit and you can’t even do Buddha’s Revenge?

Not trying to sound like a jerk, but why do people buy expensive yoyos if they can’t even do the intermediate tricks?

Some of us prefer learning using nicer tools. If money is not a blocker, why buy a surge if you can afford a summit? I would argue my Sturm Panzer Stealth Ogre is the best yoyo I have for learning new tricks. Much easier than the classic.

That’s what I’ve been doing. But thanks for stating the obvious. Any real tips?

You don’t know how much it annoys me when people call string “rope”… :wink:

Working on currently:

- Laceration Wrist Mount (Thanks Nathan Martsolf!)
- Shoot the Moon
- Trapeze Follow (I “finally landed it” but I’m working on getting it looking nicer… my wife’s comment when I gave her a “check it out!” was “I can see how that would look good.” )
- I Be A Minute GT
- Follow Into Dat Triangle
- Slap Binds (I just don’t get it)… following StrippedAxle’s excellent tutorial and it still eludes me.

^ I’ve just looked at Trapeze Follow, and it’s much harder than it looks. The swinging motion of the yoyo is very odd… And that “I be a minute GT” looks so good! Really rewarding to do correctly.

Yup. Trapeze Follow is a hard one. The “pinch and release” started to feel right for me after 2 weeks of occasional (non-focused) practice. But now the “follow” part is not quite where it needs to be; I’m not creating the visual magic that happens when you do the trick perfectly.

I’ve landed that first cross-arms “yoyo on a tiny string segment” part a few times (with the incomplete ninja vanish move that goes with it), but I get all giddy that I’ve pulled it off and I screw up the “flipping around” part that comes next. :wink:
