The "I Finally Landed It!" Thread

I’d been trying Plastic Whip (beginning from a standard Sleeper position) for a couple of days, but realized that practicing too much might result in some tenderness in my throwing shoulder from (quickly but gently) yanking the yoyo up and then going opposite in throwing the loop down. So I would try maybe 20 times a day for a couple of days…and then decided to move onto a couple of other things when it seemed it might take awhile to get PW down.

Fast forward a couple of weeks to today, and I decided to give it a whirl again, and I landed it on 2 of my first 5 trys! Of course, one of those tries wasn’t completely correct, string-around-the-yoyo-wise :slight_smile: but as long as the loop went around the yoyo I was happy, and the details will work themselves out with time and proper attention and technique.

triple or nothing.

Laceration into suicide

Kickflips! I landed my first about a week or so ago! I am soooooooo excited for the alleycat so I have been trying to work on responsive type tricks a bit more :slight_smile:

After years of throwing and then a couple years barely throwing at all, I’ve finally figured out shoot the moon. Such a good feeling.

Magic Drop! Holy Cow, I got it 4 times in a row yesterday.

Nice! :slight_smile: Probably the most frustrating trick to learn in the yoyoexpert lineup.

Just got dr strange yesterday although it’s kinda simple it has a certain type of difficulty to it getting the strings to stay right

got cold fusion down fairly solid. that was actually one of the easier ones.
still struggling with kwijibo’s 2nd hop. most always land on two strings.

That’s cool :+1:. I’ve never heard of this trick. is there a tut on it somewhere?

Right on this site. Under the learn section, “advanced part 2”.

Oh ok cool thanks.

Yea it’s on yo-yo expert tutorial list

Landed ladder escape really smoothly last night. Felt good

started a couple months ago after 40 years of not throwing. nailed this bind last night after MATRIX but I don’t know how to show the 15 second video

Toru Miyazaki’s tech combo (specifically, the triangle at the end).

No

Try using your thumb to widen the area between the two strings, I found that helps with landing it.

I got a horizontal gt while trying to bind on a fingerspins.:stuck_out_tongue: I may try to develop it farther.
