Still struggling with the beef hook here. Landed it 2 or 3 times in hours of trying. And still can’t catch what I actually did to do it.
I’m trying to get this one down:
But the string is not popping off from the rejection, it just bumps a bit and stays on my wrist. I will keep trying I guess.
Putting the thumb really close to the Yoyo will help get a stronger rejection.
I am trying to learn the DNA, but my yoyo doesn’t have a flat inner circle
Not really a trick but I’m trying to learn 5a
Thank you, that helps! Still struggling, but at least the rejection is stronger :>
Still new so I’m just trying to get the fundamentals down. I’m working on the matrix, I can do it but I’m working on making it look a bit more graceful, it looks and feels sloppy at this point. Starting to land the 1.5 mount but I still need to work it into my muscle memory. The previous one I was working on was the Hiroyuki Suzuki bind (I love how that one looks, it’s a great way to finish a trick) and I’ve got it down pretty good now. Took me longer than I’d like to admit to really get it to land perfectly in the palm of my hand with a nice tight bind but I’m pretty confident I’ve got it down now, put a lot of time into that one.
I know most of these aren’t technically tricks, save for the matrix but I gotta get the basics down first.
Oh I’ve been working on finger spins too, getting those down pretty good now and I just so happened to pull off the dna for the first time just now. I gotta admit, it was a good feeling knocking that one out but of course, it was more luck than skill.
Still having fun and that’s all I care about at this point.
Fun is what it’s all about. Sounds like you are making good progress. 
Mach 5
Just learned rancid milk
Now I’m trying Nagao hops 
I landed that today too!
I’ve gotten through Skin the Gerbil on an unresponsive. I still have a way to go before I’m making it all the way through a high percentage of tries. But it feels really good to get through it. I’ve been working on Spirit Bomb and continuing to practice STG. I’ll post a video to laugh at soon. 
the bane of my existence, beef hook
After some time and way too many knots I can now land reverse Brent stole, I thought It’d be way harder than it is lol
Same but mainly bc I just learned it lol
the other day I was learning a speed combo and when I am transfering between elements the yoyo would just jump back up to my hand
Working on a new string trick - Flag of Scotland. Dale Olive told me a story years ago about a series of tricks he created on flags from around the world. I thought I would experiment with creating an addition to the list. I will post a tutorial once it is a little smoother.
figured out i can go directly into kwyjibo from kamikaze mount, and it leaves me wit the magic drop wrap over my TH thumb at double or nothing, pretty cool stuff. i love finding the interconnectedness…
I feel ya.
Grinding for 3.0 hook.
Edit: I did it! I finally landed 3.0 hook! And I did it twice!
