    Make sure you have single taps down with good ken alignment first (big cup facing you). Each time you tap the ken, it should be horizontal and the last tap should be a little bit more gentle to allow the lighthouse to land softly on the tama. Bend your knees of course when you catch the lighthouse. Getting the feel of multiple taps takes practice but it's worth it.

    Ugh....112233 Earthturn and J-Stick. I tried for a combined 3 hours yesterday I believe and would get to the Trip J-Stick and miss it. I have never grinded for a trick so much, and I am using the Sweets Ash HG and there isn't great tracking on it, but I want to land the trick on it so badly.

    I'm hurting y'all so I was grinding around whirlwind both ways for about an hour when this strange semi-yank spike save happens, so I go on to finish the line and tip wet the last inward whirlwind . This was a few minutes before the day ended for #28trickslater so I uploaded a backup clip and my internet decided to stop working until 12:00 so technically I was late. Not a good day...

    I tried to lace Juggle kenflip lighthouse insta flip. I got close but the kenflip to insta is super frustrating.
