What trick are you working on?

Wow literally just watched that before checking this thread. Trying to get up to date on some of the concepts that have become popular since I was out of the game, learned a couple simple rejections yesterday

Now that I have an actual 4a yoyo I’m working hard on my regens. And on the side trying to make my 5a beesting more consistent. p.s. Who knew 4a was alot easier with a 4a yoyo lmao.

I’ve never really got my regens even thought I got most of the basics down

Beesting is so fun

Mine is very inconsistent right now and if I do hit it its really ugly. I have no problem with the beesting aerial though.

I’ve really been making some nice progress this week!

I don’t spend a ton of time on Kwyjibo, but I’ve made it a goal to land at least 1 each day. There’s a bunch of things I wasn’t doing right with the trick, and once I figured those out…it’s becoming easier and easier…knock on wood!

I’ve been recording practice sessions of myself each Saturday, and I just watched my first from 7 weeks ago…and lol, I’m really happy how well things are going!
In the vid I was struggling to land skin the gerbil…I eventually did, but it took me a few attempts to get it clean.
Now I can do 5 or 6 of them smoothly on a single spin :D.
And rewind! LOVE that trick!..and I’m FINALLY getting consistent at it. It just clicks now and I no longer struggle like I once did with it. It feels easy now which is awesome! I’m landing it at about 75-80% which I’m pleased with!

I’ve really just been having a ton of fun.

It helps that I received a G2 Banshee this week though too…that thing doesn’t stop spinning, and is stable as heck too. It makes things easier! Loving the heck out of this throw!!

Just landed beef hook once, trying to recreate it. @hobbygod your video was really helpful. It seems like the key element here is really hand positioning.

Edit: got it again, eskettit.

Okay, it is no fluke…no need for me to knock on wood…
I am ABSOLUTELY getting Kwyjibo down finally! :smiley:

lol I’m never going to forget how I landed the trick on my first attempt!!
Then struggled with it from there! >.<’ haha
I was doing a bunch of little things wrong. From the way I was popping the yo up on the second hop, to the timing of uncrossing my arms, to the distance between my hands when I crossed my arms…
I’ve slowly been trying different things out…and bloody heck…I think I’ve started to crack the trick!
I’m hitting it MUCH more consistently now. I’m only at like 40-50%, but dang…that’s WAY better than my 5-10% of a couple weeks ago!
It’s one of those tricks that I’ll keep doing daily and with time and as I keep learning more and more tricks and become more and more natural at things…I’m very sure I’ll get down very consistant.

I’ve really been having a heck of a lot of fun practicing this trick and most of my other tricks these last couple of weeks! I’m also adding in 5 or 6 new tricks I’m going to start working on this week (I do a daily list of tricks…I like having a list to work through).
