What trick are you working on? (Pre 2025)

But the tricks you do make are beautiful.

Horizontal Skin The Gerbil

or

Horizontal anything (My current horizontal combo looks like me [unsuccessfully] trying to kung-fu fight a small UFO.)

I’m still not hitting Banana Turnover. Sure, I can do the turnover, but then I usually miss the horizontal trapeze. And if I hit that, I miss the bind. I’m a mess.

Branding suicide. I can’t do it!

Ohhh branding, fun trick, im really bad at suicides, so I can’t technically do that trick :-.…

The Suicide in branding is all about timing, momentum, and hand positioning. You’ll get it!

I’m working on Ladder Escape & White Buddha (along w/ a few ‘easier’ tricks) at the moment. Popping out then back in that 1.5mnt triangle in W.B. is HARD!

idd it is ;Plearning same at this moment + unnamed trick tbh easy one which add extra flare to combo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__b5N20Lspc

btw I recommend that channel, that guy is teaching very well some unknown tricks

Slack suicide cross armed GT thingy of awesome funness.

The matrix I have all the individual parts down just making them two smoothly together is the hard part (I’m also doing the harder version where you pop the yoyo out hard over the throw hand and back around), I know it seems lame, but that’s what I’m working on, just spent an hour on it and I can land it but not as many times out of 10 as I’d like nor is it looking nice I reckon it looks something like the aftermath of a bull in a glass yoyo shop.

no! Just learn how to do some different tricks. Then you can change what to practice.

Hoppy Houdini GT.

This week I’m going to get some chopsticks stuff going. I love the look of the tricks, but have just never spent any time on them.

Boingy boing. After realizing that I wasn’t doing it properly when I came to boingy boing down under. Any tips?

Do a bunch of barrel rolls first to shorten the string then do boings, it’ll make it so much easier… Like 5-7 should do the trick. And then you can slowly progress from there. If you still can’t do it after doing 5-7 barrel rolls, try to just make the yoyo bounce back and forth between the strings very slightly, don’t go all out boings, just tiny ones, just to get the yoyo moving, and get the rhythm down. Once you get that you can increase the length between boings and reduce the amount of barrel rolls you do until you can do the whole trick full speed without any barrel rolls.

Are you still making a tutorial for boingy boing?

At a friend’s suggestion, going to start learning Candy Rain!

Yea… I’ll pretty much be restating what I said below. Should be up on Thursday. School started 2 weeks ago so I probably won’t be making a tutorial every week. Hopefully I’ll get one in every other week. Got lots of stuff planned, a few of my own tricks, and a couple tricks that I don’t think there are enough tutorials for or aren’t very well known. One of them’s something I recently learned… FINGER SPINS, YESSSS!!! There’s like next to no tutorials on finger spins…
