I gave up on it a while when first trying to learn it, but I ended up picking it up later by trying it little by little. If you spend days trying to learn a trick you get frustrated and it takes all the fun out of it and you eventually loose interest. So after that happens just jump back to it everyonce in a while and you will eventually get it. Just remember you yo-yo to have fun, not to drive yourself crazy. And if you ever decide you need a couple pointers for the boing-e-boing feel free to PM me anytime
ive been messing around with it going over under and through the fingers, annoys the heck out of my friends who can’t do it.
I don’t know if this was mentioned yet. But what I found an easy way to learn when I was trying to learn this trick back then was. If you get into the mount and start attempting the back and forth bounces, it tends to be more difficult with the string so long. So for practice of learning the rhythm and motion of your hands, I’d first get the string shorter on the split bottom mount, so in this case, I’d do a first few cycles of atomic bomb, since this would slowly wrap into your index finger of your non yoyo hand, therefore making a smaller triangle. Having it small tends to make the chances of bouncing a bit easier.
Also…when doing the atomic bomb, it also helps to start getting into the motion of instead of rolling from string to string, but to pop it forward. It’s just a practice motion of doing boing e boing e.
I hope this helps 
I learnt to do it by starting in a wrist mount and simply doing it from there.
Wrist mount boing is a great idea for learning the up/down pattern without worrying as much about keeping the strings aligned!
I don’t know if this will help or not but try to learn off-string boing e boing. I could never get the motion for 1A boing e boing until I learned how to do the off-string version.
Another thing you might try to do is an assisted boing e boing. This is when you put a dead yoyo
without a string where your non-throw hand pointer finger would be in a split bottom mount. This allows
you to practice the up and down motion with just your throw hand.
I too struggle with this trick. but I may be doing it wrong. When I do it the yoyo starts slipping every time I try to bounce it and eventually hits my non throw hand pointer… Tips? What am I doing wrong?
Not enough tension? Don’t move the bottom hand at all, and make sure you always move the top hand by the exact same amount for each boing. If the hands start to drift towards one another, it’s likely going to cause formation issues.

My advice is to not go too fast. feel the rythm the yoyo wants to follow. Don’t start off crazy fast.
