I am not doing much with my life. My Sunsets give me a sad look and demand to be played. They demand a reckoning of what I have been doing with 2a.
I have not looped since the last Kansas State Yo-Yo Contest where I gave a horrible showing of my abilities. This is what all my work has come to. I can do some 2a tricks, but I am nowhere near proficient at it. I have gotten over my mrcnjahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05033903482590920039noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2426957667389511818.post-76198607172399335832010-09-04T09:18:00.000-07:002010-09-04T09:32:47.613-07:00It's been awhileHow long has it been since I posted here last? One month? Two months? I'm still around and I'm still working on 2a. One of the reasons I hadn't been posting was because nothing was really changing. I could do around five loops with both hands simultaneously.The dull and boring practice routine has changed now. School has started again, but this year it isn't just a new year it's a new school withmrcnjahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05033903482590920039noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2426957667389511818.post-48476743339892107292010-07-17T08:52:00.000-07:002010-07-17T09:15:50.183-07:00Real 2aI have officially started doing real 2a. Yes, two hands looping simultaneously. It is a really cool and unique feeling when you get both hands going. Every yo-yoer needs to try this. Unfortunately, the time commitment, I have two months in this, keeps most away from this great style.I am getting a little bored with just doing inside and outside loops now.

It plays a much larger part in yo-yoing than most of us might think. String has even made me want to quit yo-yoing more than once. In fact, I just took a week-long break, that ended yesterday, from looping. I just couldn't figure it out. No matter what I did I just couldn't loop as well as I used to be able to. I have been making my own string for over a year.

My yoyoing experience has basically turned into consistency training; three basic loops with one hand and then immediately three with the other. Back and forth, 1-2-3, 1-2-3. It has been doing me well so far, my throw is very close to the perfect angle and I no longer feel hindered by my left hand. 2A is incredibly difficult, FNGyoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01082211182029290527noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2426957667389511818.post-50471205732977270912010-06-16T18:24:00.000-07:002010-06-16T18:44:00.232-07:00I'm 21What's up guys, Andrew here. I turned 21 today and what is a better thing to receive in the mail other than a brand new pair of Loop 900's?! Very cool.So now I have a pair of the finest 2A yoyos money can buy, all I need now is the skill to back it up. I may have a background in single A, but my double A is very weak. I decided just a few short weeks ago that I'll give 2A a serious try and I FNGyoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01082211182029290527noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2426957667389511818.post-26001771631348468192010-06-16T03:57:00.000-07:002010-06-16T07:59:16.009-07:00A New AuthorYes, you read the title correctly. There is now going to be two authors on this blog. The newest one is none other than Andrew Robinson. He will be blogging along with me. Hopefully this will add some more fun to this blog and a little fraternal rivalry to help push each other along. Everyone welcome Andrew Robinson.

Looping is feeling more natural everyday. I haven't been working on doing more loops. I decided that it would be good to try and make my loops more consistent. Doing ten loops with perfect vertical precision really made my day. On a different note, I want to say a big thanks to Q from YoYoExpert. He said he saw this blog and read that I was looking for some new mrcnjahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05033903482590920039noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2426957667389511818.post-80139280679207737332010-05-26T08:10:00.001-07:002010-05-26T08:10:50.473-07:00The pain of loopingIt is Wednesdy, the fifth day of my project. I recently ran into a problem I didn't quite expect, pain. More precisely, that pain is soreness. I never thought that I would be sore from yo-yoing. Yet, my shoulders complain with every loop. With that said, today will be a rest day.I am happy to say that I have seen improvement in my looping. I haven't really started to get more loops but they are mrcnjahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05033903482590920039noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2426957667389511818.post-51966932981753108172010-05-22T12:45:00.000-07:002010-05-22T13:45:00.446-07:00Prologue Let me make my introduction. I have always been intrigued by 2a to some extent or another. To see a guy looping with both hands and then doing completely different things was amazing. What really blew my mind was seeing Joseph Harris at MoYo. He was doing things that I never thought were possible with 2a. That really made me want to learn 2a.Time for more details, I am currently using stock mrcnjahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05033903482590920039noreply@blogger.com1
