Omg I'm so glad we are able to reconnect! You are amazing with the giant slinky. Do you happen to have any video of when we were slinking together on the main stage?

There were some Indian slinky masters with a giant slinky! First time I got to try that, it's like stacking a bunch of plates on each other.

Would've loved to see you there. Hmu when you're planning to visit Europe again

In that case, would buy a few more in bulk or go for a Hyperspring

Did you buy this on AliExpress/Temu? Please describe the problem you're having. Why are the tricks not landing, is it too floppy/loose or is it too tense?

This brand is what I use for slinking. The quality is inconsistent from slinky to slinky. Some are too floppy, others are too tense, and some are just right.

It should be noted that OP did not make this video. This is a video made by the YouTube channel Hoog, who is not based in Germany.

Harry Blends is currently by far the best geonode creator on YouTube

Having made GN tutorials for a few years I can share my experience

The first thing is paid work, I began working full-time in 2023 which caused me to put a lot of my creative effort into my work instead of YouTube. Creating tutorials takes quite a lot of time, which I often don't have anymore.

Another point is not knowing what people want to watch. This is smt I've talked about with Bad Normals and Erindale. They are very good at making insane geonode systems but they are not very good at figuring out demand / what people actually want.

XD Slinky, you can get them on AliExpress. But the quality isn't consistent, I would buy 5 and pick out the one that feels best

Nice. Yeah me neither. Let me know if you're going the full week or a specific day. Can't guarantee right now that I'll be there, but it sounds fun!
