Right now I’m working on kickflips for fixie, and Jade whip for unresponsive. I’ve landed like 3 out of ~50 takes of the kickflip, and I can kind of land Jade whip if I pause once I have the slack and yoyo on my throw hand and slowly guide the string into the gap. These are some tough ones!

Follow it’s been the hardest trick for me for some reason, I have also been working on some horizontal

Just practice follow. You will end up doing it well. It is all about timing

I recently learned both of those at the same time as well thats really cool! Im also working on the GT laceration (brent stole). Helped hone my technique for hidemasa hooks and lacerations to a trapeze mount but thats currently the trick that is tripping me up. The Brent Stole.
Update: watched Chris’ tutorial on it from CLYW on YouTube. and it makes so much more sense now haha.

Before there were helpfulin detail trick videos I worked on Brent Stole daily for months before I got it. All I had to work with was a general hand motion, no detail on why you’re doing what you’re doing or what you’re trying to get the string to do.

Nice. Obviously you had to work much harder to get it down.
It is a luxery for sure. Tutorial videos is mostly what I use to learn pretty much ANY trick.

Can anyone point me in the direction of some easy slack tricks?
I found Gondola awhile back and it’s SO satisfying to me to do the slack bit. I’d love to add some more to my trick list!
Thanks a lot guys!!

Okay - this is freaking awesome, definitely need to learn it to throw into my frontstyle combo

That was super satisfying! Thanks again for the suggestion!
I came up with a fun little combo with this to do my gondola with too. I love how gondola looks, and now I’ve got a much spicier looking…but still very easy…way to pull it off! Should look really cool to non-yoers who don’t know any better! I might post a vid of it here soon’ish. Too lazy to do it tonight! lol

It’s a side ways around the world into a pinwheel landing on a trapeze, then a reverse pinwheel, dropping the yo then doing an (unproper) laceration landing into a trapeze…then a trapeze + bro, to the slack then finishing up with gondola and into a bind.

Fun stuff :D.

Kind of a suicide-kamikaze whip I came up with today. Ends on a kamikaze mount and from there I do the typical meta combo.
