Week 8

I haven’t signed up for the one-on-one but I am going to do it soon. I am hopefully going to learn “breakaway” with the expert but I am also going to try and learn “around the corner”, “over the falls” and “loop the loop” but I probably won’t have time for the final two tricks.

Week 7

Two of the experts I contacted haven’t gotten back to me but YoYoExpert did. One of their employees has a website where he offers zoom lessons on yo-yoing. https://a2zscience.com/yoyo-one-on-one/

I’m getting really pretty close to getting a “breakaway” but I can’t get the yo-yo to come back to me. I still haven’t really practiced many new tricks. I hope the expert will be able to help me with “breakaway”.

Week 6

Yo-yoing went very well this week. I’m very consistent at hitting the tricks but I still need to learn the other tricks. I tried “breakaway” and I’ve gotten better at it. The yo-yo goes around but I can’t get it to come back to me. I’ve found three experts, YoYoTricks, YoYoFactory, and YoYoExpert. I contacted them all about potentially getting lessons. I just contacted them yesterday so I haven’t heard back yet.

Week 5

I have gotten better at yo-yoing again, the yo-yo is coming back up a lot more consistently and my sleeper is pretty good but it still isn’t back to where I used to be. The other type of throw, the forward pass, isn’t going very well. I can get it to come back but it’s hard to control and inconsistent. Today, I hit my first “rock the baby” since I slowed down at yo-yoing.
