Hey! Thought it might be cool to share some of our goals for this year as far as our yoyo journeys go. Here’s the thread from last year to see how you did if you posted.
I’ve found that I’ve more or less done okay with my resolution from last year, but I could be better. So my first is the same:
1: Of course, improve on 1A
2: Get 2 handed 2A going, 20 loops per hand. Inside and outside loops plus hop the fence.
3: Learn some 3A.
4: Learn more 4A
5: Learn more 5A.
6: Get sound contract for Nationals. I already have it for CalStates and BAC.
7: Work production for Worlds in Orlando
8: If I travel to Vietnam, get some Vietnamese metal yoyos and some other skill toys.
9: Learn spin tops better. Get 2 intermediate grade tops, 1 fixed and 1 bearing tip. Boomerang, learn to regen. Be able to use my Sophia with a 1 way bearing.
10: Learn to 3 Ball Cascade juggle
11: Learn more diabolo stuff. Get a 1 way bearing and a triple bearing diabolos
12: Learn more kendama
Or:
Screw it all and just have fun! But I want that #6 objective!!
1.) make more tricks that are complex
2.)start competing
3.)upgrade gear for yoyo vids (new camera, good editing software)
4.)go to the SJ yoyo meets
5.) do more public performances(at malls, highly crowded areas)
6.) get money while doing public performances
7.) actually try to keep my resolutions(I’m probably not gonna do this one ;P)
I’m not usually a guy for new year resolutions. If you were serious about making a change, you wouldn’t wait until the new year. However…
Continue to yoyo for 4 or more hours a day, and over 6 during the summer to prepare for the world yoyo contest. I’ve been doing 4 hours a day for the past 4 months and I have improved incredibly.
Place top 10 at worlds this year in 5a
Continue to advance GRYC.
Go to as many contests as I can and compete in 5a.
Keep on practicing 2A - spend about 2 hours a day with just loops. Stick to the basics for now. Eventually loop well with both hands at the same time.
Purchase lots of 2A loopers incase any of them breaks. Experiment and try every pair out there.
Improve my 1A - still learn some tricks here in YYE [kinda went away and did my own thing] and other tutorial sites.
