What trick are you working on? (Pre 2025)

Been working on a few things lately. There’s a Takeshi combo and. a Gentry combo I’m working on, and I’m slowly developing my horizontal. Probably my favorite aspect of modern yoyoing and it feels as cool to do as it looks.

I can nearly Eiffel tower! Woo. I had to take a break cuz an 18 wheeler rear-ended me. BUT onward and upward!

So I just learned Mario’s Gentry speed combo and want to work on something else.

I’m trying to learn some tricks that are more in line with the current competition meta to add those elements to my skill set to build off them. Can anyone recommend any specific tutorials?

Holy heck…hope everyone was okay!

Have you got the tower down? :smiley: Picture tricks are fun, and look really cool to people watching!

/giggle @ the ‘Mario’ typo!
This one? That’s crazy impressive!


I really haven’t yo’ed very much these past 2 months…but currently I’m working on 2 really fun combos. Think I’ll try to make videos of them one of these days. Nothing super difficult…but for where my skills are right now, they’re both super satisfying! And it feels super cool to come up with my own combos/tricks!

Yuuki slack… It’s been a long week. Slowly but surely.

Thanks dude. Yeah that’s the one.

I’m just kind of disappointed that I can’t find any tutorials that look like the kind of tricks I want to learn the most. Stuff that looks like Colin or Remy.

And it’s definitely a rewarding feeling when you start developing your own tricks/combos.

Tension hook stuff

Keiran stuff

Very common slack over stuff/tension slack that everyone uses

Colin stuff

The classic yuuki move if for some weird reason you don’t know it already

Jakub Plader stuff

Nate Dailey stuff

Some of my stuff that’s meta worthy

Yeah I really can’t thank you enough. I just wasn’t aware of these different resources or exactly what terms I should be searching for, I just had a vague idea of what I was looking for. A lot of the tutorials I was looking at were great but just weren’t the trick types I was hoping to learn and were a bit more dated in style.

Got Eiffel tower, “Jamaican” flag, breakaway, and pop the clutch down. I’m having issues with creeper and a couple others. Practice practice practice. I’ve gotten a handful of unresponsive yoyos for the next steps. Working on binds to break the monotony.

Thankfully, I was alone in the van when I got hit. Back pain, whiplash, but no major damage. :+1:
