Hello all! I got back from the MER yoyo contest and met some pretty cool people. This one guy taught me how to do a brent stole and I picked it up faster than I would normally. He also showed me a trick where it looks like a hidemasa hook but when you “unroll” to get ot of the hidemasa hook, it was in to a brent stole. Let me explain in other words. He whipped it, got a formation similar to a hidemasa hook but when he dismounted from the hidemasa hook (only one roll not exiting the whole thing) he got into the green triangle that is the result of a brent stole. Now, does anyone know how to do this trick? Or any other variations of brent stole? ---

Free bump! I really want to learn that too! The thing about contests is you learn really cool tricks, and nobody has tutorials for them anywhere else. ---

Ok, when you go to do the “brent hook” throw the whipo as if you were doing a brent stole but catch it in hook. the string should be going through the loop on your finger. and when you unroll it will be in a green triangle. ---

thanks for that, but I am still not getting it. I think I am doing what you said but all Im getting is something that looks like a potential green triangle… like if i pick up a different string it will be one… _shug_ any suggestions? ---

I dont know of a tut, but the way I do it is to do a hook normallly but move my throwhand forward as the loop of string goes over my finger. This causes the strings to cross, putting you in a GT ---

This causes the strings to cross, putting you in a GT Thats what I am doing… I suppose it needs to be caught correctly. I’ll check my tension and we will see how it goes. I’ll make a video tutorial if I get it down. ---

Sorry to bring back this thread. I figured out how you do it, it’s simple. All you do is a Hidemasa Hook, and do the whipping motion of a Brent Stole, and then what you described happens. ---

I know, I can read. I still can’t do the trick, but I can read. And by the way, the guy that showed you this was named Joshua Prokay. He’s a memebr of the DTI Crew. ---
