Anyone else have a list of basic tricks you like to do for days that you don’t feel inspired to come up with something new but still want to touch the yoyo and work on fundamentals like string hits and hooks etc? I’m thinking tricks like black hops or specific whips with a goal of x amount done with no mess ups. If that makes sense at all. ---

Branding is a fun one, I also like the sound my yoyo makes when the string slaps it. ---

I use to time spin times all the time. YoyoDoc always had a great comment when I posted the time :+1: Just pop in a movie or turn on the tv, sit back and relax. After a while the only thing I timed was snap starts. ---

This list looks like the list of tricks you had to be able to do to be able to enter some events when i last yoyoed often. Is that still a thing? I believe they were called “compulsory”. ---
