This must happen to other players too. It has happened to me many times. I learn a trick and can do it at least somewhat proficiently for a long time. But one day I just cannot do it, as much as I try.  And it has happened to me even with tricks I created  Even if I can watch videos of myself doing it . . . It is the most frustrating thing!

For example, yesterday I could not do half-orbits, a trick I learned over an year ago. It took me a while today to get it back. And now I need to "remember" how to do the upside-down corkscrew . . . 

The good thing about these lapses is that many times it helps me realize that something I did automatically is important or learn something else about the trick so at the end I do the trick better. But it is so damn frustrating!

I wish I knew. I don't know enough tricks to forget!

After talking to yo-yoers that have attained a certain level of trick proficiency, they too forget tricks from time to time. It's all part of the process of growing as a player. But that doesn't change the fact that it's frustrating, I'm sure.

After spinning for about a year, I took a week off and then it took me another week just to remember how to throw a boomerang. It was one of the most frustrating things ever.

This happens often with yoyo tricks, one day someone decide to disappear! With top is more difficult i'm learning how to throw correctly

yes. It`s very frustarting and it demonstrates that when oneself believes that has got very dominated the trick, it results taht too much trust in oneself, sometimes fails.
