What trick are you working on? (Pre 2025)

I’m currently working on that Chen Yang one hand stop and go where he goes into a horizontal whip (idk if it has a real name)

Working my way through the first 50 and just figured out Plastic Whip!

So, it should go without saying that I’m still working on fine tuning all previous tricks that I’ve learned. I’m currently working on getting Rewind down, I can do it but I miss a lot, so I want to get it to where I can do it with my eyes closed, pure muscle memory, I think this will help with a lot of tricks I want to learn down the road. Also working on landing Suicide more consistently and working on Amuse, this one is tough for me to get a good flow going. Latest trick that I’m playing with is Mondial, I feel like this one is also good practice for accuracy. I’m kind of following my own path of video tricks between YoTricks & YoExpert, both are great resources for leveling up but picture tricks don’t interest me at this point in time so I’m skipping around a bit.

Been yeeting the offstring as high as possible while camping and trying to catch it. Think I’m hitting like 1000 ft or something rn hopefully can get up to 2000 ft later tonight. Been able to sneak in some nice cat naps before it comes back down.

Just started learning 4A last week, so I’m working on the handful of off string tricks I can do, but doing them with my mouth closed. It’s like starting over :roll_eyes:

just a quick question since you seem to know the more advanced hooks, do you have any advice for me learning 2.0 and beyond?

Ok. So I love the look of slack tricks. I would like to attempt to learn some more. I can currently do Trapeze Slack and Brother Slack. My skill set is limited. Skin the Gerbil and Matrix being my most difficult tricks I can do at present. So are there a few slack tricks that could be attained at this level without needing to learn more complex elements such as hooks and the like. Thanks for the suggestions.

Not a slack trick but I found the Hidemasa hook to be pretty easy.

Alright Steve so most slack tricks are a bit more advanced than your current level right now but I thought of a couple things to try. If you’re very comfortable with your slack trapeze, you can try a negative hook. It’s essentially the same movement as slack trapeze but you’re going to hop the Yoyo up and then swing the string, just like you do for slack trapeze. Keep nth index close to the Yoyo and on the outside but the motion of the slack is the same as what You know already. Because the Yoyo will be weightless as it moves against gravity up and down, you can whip the string and a slack will form to catch the Yoyo. The second trick you could definitely learn is a simple slack transition from trapeze to DoN. Sorry I kept falling off the trapeze while trying to demo the steps but you’re going to land a trapeze, pinch, and then move TH closer to NTH as you roll the Yoyo under and around NTH, then put TH index into the slack and you with be in DoN. It’s sounds more complicated than it is now that I’ve written it out but try it and you’ll see it’s a bit more intuitive than it sounds. I’ll brainstorm and see if I can’t think of anything else but try these out for now.

Thanks Henry. I was looking over the results of looking up “slack” on that tricky site and really liked the look of Yukki Slack so I picked up trying that. I will also pour over what you put down here. I’m only able to devote about 5 minutes maximum to learning something new before it’s too hard for me to keep concentrating so this will keep me busy for a while, but I like where this will take me. Thanks a lot bro!! :blush:

I think Cheese Whip is worth a look. @DocPop breaks it all down: New tutorial: The Cheese Whip

If you fast forward to ~9:00, there are some useful tips and variations that don’t involve a wrist mount.

Yes! Skin The Gerbil + Matrix + Cheese Whips would be great together, but maybe I’m biased.
