The first little loop thing at the beginning of skin the gerbil. Can’t explain it but it took me forever to understand it. ---

Haha. Same here! I am not sure why it took me so long to figure that out. Another one for me was that second roll after you drop out of the double or nothing during Matrix. It took me a while to figure out how to get my TH arm out of the way. ---

Drop in the bucket, all side rolls, and barrel rolls. I couldn’t figure out the right finger thingy on drop in the bucket, i just couldnt figure out how to do the side rolls (skin the gerbil rolls) without hitting my arms, and on barrel rolls, after the first roll i just couldn’t find out what the second rolls was supposed to be. ---

Especially when you start doing double and triple amd crazy catches and stuff. But you know what makes them even more fun and easy? Crocostrings. ---
