Ha! I like your eclectic choices :slight_smile:

Part of the reason I wanted to start this thread is because I realize how easy it is to get caught up in the gear (yoyos) of yoyoing instead of the tricks. So thanks for picking up the spirit of it - to share whatever trick that inspires you to keep throwing. Cheers!

My pick is this Takahiro Iizuka trick. (with a nice tutorial!)

This trick was one of the first tricks that I saw using a cool slack element that spins around sideways and is re-caught. Of course that is more common now, but at the time it seemed pretty sick to me. I had this video bookmarked to learn and forgot about it. So now maybe I can get inspired and finally learn this.

Also, I wish Iizuka was still throwing more…well ok, maybe he is but I haven’t seen many videos with him lately. Such a cool technical style but unfortunately he didn’t seem to really nail his contest freestyles cleanly enough or keep the momentum going to stay on people’s radar.

This trick is so cool. I still can’t do it, but I keep chipping away at it, and if I ever learn it, it’s going to be my best trick every day.

Another gem from the '365,  these tricks look so easy when Steve does them!
A deceptively hard trick is the best trick today.

You can buy the yo-yos, but you can’t buy the tricks. This one has been frustrating me for years. I got it all down except for the part after the trapeze mount…

Thanks for the feedback guys, I guess I will keep posting stuff, although I felt better before I knew I had adult supervision.
Anyways, best trick today also involves tasty treats that go good together. The fun thing about this trick are all variations you can work into it. You can get into the start many different ways, you pinch the string w/your nth and pop the yo-yo out to the front when you throw the loop over, then pop it back into the bucket mount instead of trying to slide the yo-yo over like Mr. T does in this vid. It’s fun to mess around with.

The best trick today is a special Friday edition double banger spectacular featuring our hero

This is hard. Great banger.

Sarvanters.

Because it is like magic. Because it is a trick with its own t-shirt. Because it has a weird name.

^that trick is like magic!
This trick is the best when I am working on trying to get more flow.

If we are not limited to tricks that are humanly possible, this is the best trick you will probably only see one person ever do. Paul is such an amazing innovator.

Yeah, love that one! I also like that it’s inspired by spin tops.

This is the best trick today because Slade shows us bearings don’t have to keep you from keeping your
fixed axle game sharp.
