Clarity like after practiceing a trick for hours or days trying to get it down.
For me that was when I finally got magic drop, it took me a couple of days but i got it. Oh to keep it in the trick section, any tips to get pop n fresh down?
I’m gonna assume by clarity, you’re referring to the euphoric “state of yo”.
I’d say my last time was today. I’ve had a few breakthroughs lately and noticed that some of my skills are tightening up. It started recently when I learned “Peng Pong” and then, I wanted to pick up something new to entertain my family at thanksgiving; I stumbled across “Organized” and got it together in a couple of evenings. So, Today…I was comboing “Peng Pong” to “Organized” then rather than dismounting, morphed into a one hand hook suicide, then to “Brother Slack” to a kinda green triangle slack suicide thingy…popping out of the triangle directly into a reverse hook suicide back to my throwhand.
The few times I actually did the entire combo…felt…awesome. I highly recommend trying this.
I like it when the skills creep up on you and then all of a sudden make sense.

wow I still need a long way to go because I almost didn’t understand a thing, and I wonder if truly seasoned throwers still feel this “state of yo” often.
heck yeah we feel the “state of yo” (not that I’m a seasoned yoyoer)
I’ll PM you links for tutorials on “Peng Pong” and “Organized”.
I think tomorrow I’m gonna try to catch that combo on video. If I can stick a good one, I’ll post it here.
BTW…Magic drop stumped me for a while too. it still kinda irks me. lol
Cool thanks a lot.
The times I come up with new tricks and nail them
I just got “Circular asian pops” I’m not sure if its been done but I think it’s pretty cool.
CIRCULAR ASIAN POPS? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2q6cog4N8a0&feature=related
THOSE ASIAN POPS!?
NO WAY I THOUGHT I HAD THOUGHT OF THAT TRICK! well At least now I know that it is possible.
As for circular asian pops… Super tough… Im great at normal pops but putting the step-up move into it is crazy…
And Yoda? +10 for the Smothers Brothers reference!!!
I hit it not to long ago… I went a year and a half without making up my own tricks, and I sorta went into a slight depression… Like for real depression because I was bad at yoyoing and it just frustrated me. So then I stopped yoyoing I was so ticked off… I though about it long and hard and finally realized it was stupid to feel that way so I just yoyo’ed for fun and I decided, "Well Mitch, even though you cant make your own trick you can learn some one elses… I got And Whut down solid in three days! It was fantastic… And then I entered the State of Yo. I have three tricks in the works now, no names for any, and they are all only about half done… But thats three almost done… ORIGINAL tricks… They are mine… I can name them somthing goofy or what ever… They are mine… Its an awesome feeling… I cant wait to finish them and share them with the world…
Funny thing is I am now working on Organized… As of about three thirty today… Im up to the first pop…
Yep, Tommy Smothers. I’m old school like that. We both studied under the same “Yo Master”. He taught me to throw a trapeze the day I bought a Hummingbird…i miss that yoyo.
Nice call on the asian pops, I was wondering where I’d seen that. thanks for posting it
Yeah, organized is fun to learn. that weird roll at the end is my favorite part. Mine’s still a little clunky
so far today thats where Im at… I just cant get it…
When it took me THREE days to get down iron whip.
Finally managed to nail Kwijibo, and also Ripcord. Today is a good day.
