Haha, it's my own fault. Should have tested with the slow motion feature beforehand. It works GREAT in google photos, but when exporting to anything (Instagram included) it forgets what segment you selected and the whole video is slow. After that it was just me being stupid. Glad it looks good though. I will probably re-do it later for IG anyway, super fun line.
Nice!!! That looks good to me! That also looks like how I've been looking: I lock in the lighthouse, and try to focus on the finisher. I'm going to have to hustle tomorrow morning. Just let the camera roll and hope to capture it!

Oh no seriously? I thought it was pm... so here is my clip l...cold pizza trade lighthouse trade insta-slipstick on sweets prime avalanche. It sucks that you hadn't shown the time clearly...
@Congarranza I vote we count it : / If we had like 20 people I could see why not, but with just 5 of us in V1 I think it should be fine.
I found this surprisingly easy once I got a feel for the swing, I just started working on it a few days ago. The line is Kenflip > Sweets Special > Catch Lunar > Lighthouse > Stuntplane Kendama used was a Sweets Homegrown Fruit Punch Spectra Split. I tried to say that at the end, but the weather was and is killing me, so I blanked a bit. If you don't know how to sweets special, the yotricks tutorial is solid. The trick to catching lunar is to slow it down with your knees, and pull it towards you instead of up. It's all about timing on the release. Hope you have fun with it!
Wasting no time!! I love it! So what do you all(@Gasiek @Dan Reinstein @TheWickEffect ) feel about the deadline to upload a vid? It's scheduled for Thursday. We can push it closer to Tuesday or Wednesday since @purekhaos didn't need through the weekend.
@Congarranza I am ready! This is my attempt on my sweets prime avalanche. Kenflip, sweets special, lunar, lh, stuntplane. P.S. @purekhaos kenflip before sweets special is a tricky one
I love throwing kenflips into everything. It's got so bad that half the time I do it without noticing, so it felt natural to throw one in to add a little more challenge here. Rad video, I wish my transition to Luar was that clean.
I have the same but with gunslingers If you want some tips how to do better lunar catch from sweets special, you need to do a little pull before catching tama so it won't spin anymore. The second thing are legs
yeah it's all in the legs. You have got to teach/give me tips on gunslingers. I can't gunslinger from ken grip.... ever. Obviously from week one I can do it from (gunslinger grip?) but I cannot otherwise.
Oh boy, I had to learn sweets special just for this trick so that kenflip was way out of my comfort zone. Ken flip into sweets special, to lunar, lighthouse, stuntplane. Done on a norx mod Ken and Tama, for the downspike game of Ken
