What trick are you working on? (Pre 2025)

I still can’t do drop in the bucket. It is the only intermediate trick that I can’t do.

Spirit bomb… Omggg

Kwijibo and Leg Wrap Trap. These are my last two on the Advanced Part 1 list. I have almost got them.

Cheddah Cheese and guacamole

I got it down, but I won’t stop until it’s super smooth like Chuck does it.

Black Hops- for three months. And also Kamikaze and Jade Whip.

Trying to get at least ONE of John Chow’s combos from his video classical mechanics

The second part of rewind. This trick is killing me

I still fail to hit Rewind absolutely consistently every time! It gets better, though, I promise. Just set it as your “idle” trick (tricks you play over and over when you’re just passing time and building muscle memory) and in a couple months you’ll forget how awkward it was!

Seriously, though… I had Eli Hops, Boing-e-Boing, and even Spirit Bomb down cold before I started getting consistent with Rewind. Weird, eh?

I have the exact same problem with that trick

Joey Serrano’s Faux Knee GT

Branding

Trapeze to triangle string whip

I think I’m able to do all the full length “master” tricks on this website but I skipped a lot of easier stuff in the “advanced” and “expert” section. Right now I’m working on laceration, zipper and revolutions. Laceration took about 30 seconds to figure out now I’m landing it like 9/10. Zipper I got down in the first few tries. Revolutions at first I was having trouble with swinging the slack around without tilting the yoyo too much, I’ve fixed that issue for the most part but now actually landing it back in the 1.5 is a bit confounding. I’m sure I’ll figure it out soon enough. Trying to actually learn new stuff and improve for the first time in a long time.

Brent Stole G.T

Janos Korancz’s step-through slack gyroscopic flop

I’m getting better at it, only landed it 4 times though… Kwijibo

Edit: 5 times

I apparently forgot how to do spirit bomb after like 3-4 years. Keep getting stuck in some disastrous mess on the last pop into the hole. Was doing it fine 2 days ago and could do it >90% flawlessly. Guess it might just be because it’s been incredibly humid and my hands are sticky and gross. Oh well. I forgot how to do brent stole when I learned hidemasa hook ages ago and land both every time, I’m sure I’ll figure out whatever I’m doing wrong and set it straight sooner or later, might just be psyching myself out after screwing it up so many times tonight and all will be well tomorrow.

edit
that’s weird. Guess it was just the humidity/the fact I just got back from 2 hours at the gym. A little tentative after failing repeatedly but doing it consistently again.

Working on Follow, still. Done learning Superman (still practicing it a tonne). Added Black hops to the learning rotation.

Trying to be creative is killing me. Making tricks is hard…
