What trick are you working on? (Pre 2025)

lol I learned to snap thru learning the snap start. I can do it pretty quickly, but I still throwstart → regen because it just flows nice.

I’m trying to come up with some flowy fast tricks as well as smoothing out my horizonatals. I’ve also been playing with some neat “double on hooks” I haven’t seen anywhere else.

We need videos! :smiley: :stuck_out_tongue:

What’s annoying about my snapping…is I can get the yo going super fast while I’m sitting down watching a show or something (practicing the snap)…but for whatever reason, as soon as I’m standing I can’t get the same snaps/spins. I don’t get it!
I feel like I’d have it down if I could get the spins I’m getting while I’m sitting and practicing.
Grrrr…I’ll keep at it!

–edit–
…also, I’ve done my first few full magic drops now! It still feels super weird and unnatural to me though and it’s only been a few good ones out of like 10 billion or so attempts! lol

Sooooo why are tension hooks so hard tho?

Don’t get discouraged! This is one of those you’ll have to keep doing and fine tuning it. I still sometimes land on my front string or the string doesn’t reject if I get lax about how I place my hands.

You can go straight into a trapeze and his brother slack

You guys can try this one https://youtu.be/FPA3S_1BFms

Or put it between your hands and roll it off hard. Top hand forward bottom hand backwards

Thanks, I hadn’t thought of that. I’ve just been hopping up and landing back in a trapeze.

Got trapeze follow into a good place relatively quickly because I already know follow very well

Reverse hook catch rate is still low for me, it involves the strangest whip I’ve learned thus far

I’ve been avoiding all the tricks that start in 1.5 mount, oy vey I guess its time to grind

I did this for a while, or I would go to a double or nothing first. Then I just grinded out getting into 1.5, and it’s probably my favorite mount to work from now

I’m still figuring out magic drop. I keep landing the yoyo on both strings

Magic drop is definitely a kinda awkward movement. I use both of my hands to give the strings enough separation to be able to land on the back string
