I know, right? When I figured it out it was a ‘damn thats a good trick’ moment. ---

Hmm, this is turning out to be tricky. When I try to let the loop slide off my hand, it always gets stuck, and then won’t go around the yoyo. Any tips? I’ll probably post a picture later. Oh, school… ---

It keeps binding up on me during the first string drop, ill do it the same way every time and itll bind up 9 times then for some reason which ive yet to preceive, that one time its workes perfect and smooth. Drops down low, GT formed, the relese form the throw hand is a non event and it goes perfect. Im so confused. Sometimes i think my string may be too thick, but then it works and i think ive got it, only to not have it some more haha. ---

1. Keep your hands wide apart 2. Drop one hand, then the other as described in the video 3. Are you using a Pun? Everything’s easier with a Pun…Lol, I’m kidding. I’m glad everyone is enjoying the challenge of this trick. Took me forever to get it consistent! ---

pretty good trick. I had a little trouble with the drop to make a triangle because it would bind back to my hand before I got to pop it out. I made some adjustments and got it down tho. Nice tut. ---

I figured it out! The whole thing is made a bit easier in my opinion if instead of having the string go around your thumb, wrap it around both wrists. Makes it a bit easier to navigate over the X shape. ---

This is a nifty trick, thanks for sharing! Does the mount at the beginning have a name other than a half wrist mount into a double or nothing? ---

I think X mount would be a good name, since it makes that x with the strings. ---

That works, I’ll have to make up a tutorial for the all new ‘X’ mount!
