I’ve been practicing for 2 weeks and I can do Tangler and loops and stuff but I can’t do hop the fence. It just goes sideways: help?!

I have the same problem most of the time. I started trying it today. Just curious, what yoyo are you using?

That’s the least of your worries. Once you start to be able to do it, then you realize that your berries are in constant danger of getting dinged while trying to hop that fence!

Only practice doing it right. As soon as you lose control, stop and start over. Do that for 6 months. Also practice outside loops and bring them down (very similar motion) and planet hops (not the same at all but helps with control). You’ll get it. Good looping fundamentals take forever.

Lucky! I wish I had good loopers.
