That second pop killed me. But the initial reason the second pop killed me is because I wasn’t doing the first one right.
Even after getting the first one right, I had a second round of serial failures because I couldn’t get the land-through triangle big enough. I had to 1/20th speed the videos and compare what I was doing over and over until I realized I didn’t have my thumb in the right position to spread the triangle open.
After that, I started getting successes, and now I’m consistent with it. Even landing it blindfolded, although I haven’t tried that lately.
After “plateau-ing” I got inspired to work on a tech combo of my own, still nowhere near perfect or complete but thought I’d share it with you guys so far.
Finally got to where i can control both the tangle swing AND the size of the final GT in Yellow Submarine. That one was alot harder that it looked. Feels good to grind it out! No sub for puttin the hours in and staying focused.
Working on Cold Fusion and some new binds. Spent the afternoon yesterday with some other yoyo’ers, and it made a HUGE difference in pulling stuff off. Actually being able to see it in person step by step is awesome!
Cool Trick! Towards the end it looks like you go into an under mount then swing the yoyo back behind the string. I do something similar to that in a trick I made up a few weeks ago.
