Hey guys so i made a thread earlier about an idea i had for a tutorial series, well, i put it into action and here’s the first video! BTW if your curious about the thread here it is: > **[just another idea](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php/topic,82349.0.html)** > > Hey guys! so i got this idea for a series of tutorials but, first i would need to know who would be interested in it if i were to do this, and it go through with the idea. Anyways, my idea is a series of tutorials for those “not quite trick” things,... and the video is right below!

Ok, so the text kinda blocks out your hands, but the angle at the 2 minute-ish mark was pretty good at showing the steps too. Maybe put the words up top or something, but other than that, I was able to follow very well. I feel like this was a great first try ---

String visibility should be a point of emphasis. The backlight from the windows doesn’t help. ---

I hope you can do a different camera angle specially when your doing the transition to triangle. If you can, do a different camera angles (top, front and sides.) when you are doing a tutorial. It will help us better to understand what you are doing. Anyway, I think your trick is nice! 🙂 ---

If I’m gonna be finicky, I’d say the text was a bit hard to read, but this tutorial was REALLY easy to follow, I really like how broken down the trick was. Literally making each motion a step in the tutorial made this video great, IMO. Maybe I’m an unskilled yoyo-plebeian who needs his hand held through higher level tricks, but the way you broke down the trick made it so I could really tell what steps go into the trick. I’m gonna start practicing this element right away, I’ve really been getting into slacks lately, and this one looks fun! ---

Yes the text was a bit dark but I had no problem learning it anyways. I would definatly suggest white (Or some other bright color) Text in your next tutorial also it wouldn’t hurt to make the text bigger. But otherwise I thought it was a well put together tutorial ---

Outline your text in black, that usually helps… assuming you can do that. You can also use a black text box with white text at the bottom of the screen ---
