hey guys,

i’ve started out learning 2 handed looping but I cant do them alternating. I’ve got to launch both at the same time for the trick to be successful.

Any tips?

Make sure you can do one handed loops with both. Try to be able to do them well enough that you don’t even have to look. What problem are you having? Them being off on the timing?

It sounds like they’re off timing.

Just practice, that’s the advice Patrick Mitchell gave me.

yea they’re off timing. from what i see at 0:31 to 0:34 in this vid: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHZHhQUP8jY&feature=related](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHZHhQUP8jY&feature=related), looks like one hand is more in front of the other while launching.

mhmm okay i guess practice is key then.

Yeah practice is the best advice in this case, by far.

In that video he meant to do that so that he could get them going at the same time.

I think it’s just practicing and getting down a good rythm
