What trick are you working on? (Pre 2025)

Yo-Yo Tricks
605

I just started working on learning the mach 5, and split the atom.

606

been working on the matrix for a couple days. not bad - it’s not that difficult since i’ve been working on dub or nothing for so long; i can do 2 - 3 cycles. last night did several full blown eli hops - it surprised me. it really came together when i brought my hands fully together on the hops. still working on boingy boing; sometimes ok sometimes tends to go kind of sideways.

607

My own combo, looking to add in Ghoti

608

Alexis JV’s A Star in Paris…

Not sure how to do the slacky thing consistently. I got it once by pure accident. :frowning: And it’s not the pinching mistake he refers to that’s messing me up. :frowning:

609

I’m working on making new combos

610

Tressley Capris

611

You and me both

612

Yeah, all three of us.

EDIT: oh… wait…

613

Working on a few different whips from double or nothing. Going to be making a new vid next week.

614

Trying, but not achieving.

615

I’m working on a few things more or less simultaneously:

1.5 mount in one motion instead of two
Buddha’s Revenge
Drop in the Bucket
Magic Drop

616

I’m working on some technical but smooth combos. Trying to go Zach Gormley.

617

I need a break from Magic Drop: I can hit it a few times in a row, then miss it for 5 minutes straight. Time to switch it up for a while… moving on to Rewind as a precursor to Candy Rain

618

Gahh magic drop is killing me too right now. I’ve got kamikaze down solid up to where you do the drop. I know it’ll feel great when I finish the trick.

Working on my revolutions in the interim.

619

Trying to get Hook 2.5 and Hook 3.0 more consistent

620

Circular Eli Hops

621

Dude, I have been going for almost two years and I still can’t get the hang of Magic Drop. I have the same problem you have.

622

Try turning your TH slightly outward (rotate so your palm faces slightly up) as the yoyo swings under and over your TH. Helps with the rejection. Hope this helps all.

623

Thanks… I’ve tried a few different hand positions, but none that I tried seemed to improve consistency or hit percentage. Would you be interested in doing a quick video tutorial?

624

It’s all about the toss, hand movement, string placement, etc.

You just have to do every piece of it right to make it happen. If one single part doesn’t occur, it won’t work. :frowning:
