I’ve almost got reverse Brent stole consistently. Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong when instead of a triangle I just get a trapeze with some extra string twists?

Not sure what I’m quite working on in the 1A world. Was toying around with some chopsticks and hops earlier which is the first in a while I found something “fresh” to work on and explore.
In the fixie/0a world, been working on undermount stalls as those have been my weakness for a while. This will set me up for some zipper stalls.

Working on perfecting my lacerations. Just getting my finger in that loop seems like its upto chance sometimes. I dont mind well structured mounts, its just anything with slack messes me up

A laceration to a trapeze mount you dont need to focus in putting your finger IN the loop like a suicide. More so just focus on the bottom segment. Itll pretty much land itself. If u are watching a tutorial on it, slow down the frames and u might see what im talking about

Learned this one last week on Dylan’s YouTube, I think it’s called “ADD”. Sure I could get the yoyo to bounce back and forth faster but want to make sure I can land on the strings first… Added challenge with a small yoyo

Kamikaze, I got all the elements but still working on connecting everything end to end. I got the Magic Drop to be fairly consistent thanks to some Youtube videos, now it’s mostly the stability at the end that causes issues - somewhere during the last 1.5 mount, trapeze brother, 1.5 mount, the yoyo goes sideways and I have to dismount in a hurry. If this happened to people and you have advice, I’m interested, will probably just need some more practice.

I’m working on 5a hold, catch, and return. I feel like a complete novice who picked up a yoyo yesterday…

Feel like I skipped ahead with the Eli hops, boingy boing, GT and such…went back to work on stuff I skipped over. Currently working on Cold Fusion. This is actually the easiest way I’ve been able to get into 1.5 mount so far, so that’s a plus!

Found my grind for the next few days of self isolation:
lots of new stuff I haven’t tried…if I learn the full thing, awesome! Chances are though that I’ll get halfway through, start playing with certain elements and build off of that merely using this as a source of inspiration.

I gave up Plastic Whip a year ago. I am now determined to get it down 9 out of 10 times by the time This Thing is over. I got it twice in the last hour but was so surprised I got the whip wrapped properly I froze and forgot what to do. I alway want to give up as I learn a trick and tell myself it’s a stupid, worthless trick that’s good for nothing and a month later I am very smooth with it and working it into my frontstyle combo. Seriously - Ripcord and Wormhole (my last 2 tricks) took me 2 1/2 - 3 wks. to get down and fine tune.
