I found if I do the first part of Nagao hops that lands in the brother then brother slack, Ninja vanish then gt Suicide to Jade whip. Pretty fun combo for me. I like how the string gets rejected or almost whips at the first part of nagao hop.

Mach 5: Accomplished today.
My 1a baby steps over the last month: Barrell Rolls, Splitting the Atom, Mach 5
Yeah, Brain Twister too - that was huge to me in August.
All accomplished.
This summer I could only do Forward Pass and Around the World.
I’m kinda proud of myself for sticking to it. I learn slowly.

There’s a lot of fun tricks you can combo together from split bottom mount. If you don’t already, I’d suggest learning boingy boing, seasick, and pop n fresh - good elements to throw into your front style combo

Baby steps, baby. Baby steps. It takes me awhile to grasp things. Regens. I will put that on the que. Thank you. I am passing on boingy boing because I LOATHE the way it looks. It’s OBNOXIOUS and ANNOYING but maybe I should learn it to throw 1 or 2 boings into a combo but 5-6…it looks obsene and immoral!

Sheesh, I mean, it’s a lot harder than it looks. It took me the better part of a year to get that trick down clean. That bounce element can be used in other ways when you start building your own Combos and stuff, just saying. You don’t have to do 20 boings, even just 1 can be a nice embellishment for a combo.

Yeah, I am learning that all tricks contain individual elements that can be used elsewhere even if the whole trick is not executed.

Just got Plastic Whip down and now it’s on to Rewind.
I’m also looking forward to learning how to regen some day. Which brings me to a question I’ve had for a while now. My understanding is that Regen is a technique that puts spin back onto the yoyo so you don’t have to stop and do a new throw. But what is a Rejection?

First of all, I love plastic whip. It’s one of my staple tricks.
Now let’s talk about regens. A regeneration can be used for putting spin back on a yo-yo oh, yes. So what’s tricky about regens is that every time you do one, it makes the yoyo spin in the opposite direction. For example, if you do a proper regen from a breakaway, it should make the yoyo spin as if you threw a front style throw. And if you do a regen from a front style throw, it will make the yoyo spin as if you threw a break away. you need to keep that in mind when you’re doing tricks and going for a bind.
When I say front style throw, I mean a side style front throw. So like a breakaway but thrown in the opposite direction

I have a limited understanding of rejections. It involves using the spin of the yoyo to shoot out some string instead of just landing a mount. I have only learned one trick so far that involves a rejection, magic drop.

I’m working on some Andrew Maider-inspired neck tricks.

Rejection is where the string kinda pops off the yoyo. Probably first trick you’ll learn with one would be magic drop, and it will probably be frustrating lol

This trick by Paul Kerbal was a blast to learn. This was what i have been working on between my own stuff.

I’m currently working on an original trick circle. I stumbled across an element last night that has opened up a whole new realm of inspiration
