Eli hops is a trick I practice compulsively everyday. I don’t know why, but I do! It certainly is one of my favorite tricks. I’ll see what I have as far as videos of me doing it goes. ---

I go into a wrist mount and pop out of it while there are small triangles on my throw hand, and I do eli hops that way. When I’m practicing I do it from a triple or nothing. Behind the back Eli’s are great too ---

The only tutorial on Circular Eli-Hops I saw was in Spanish. Twas a little problematic. I’ve almost got the trick down though so I’ll make a tutorial when I figure out how to explain everything and can actually do it! ---

I would really appreciate a tutorial on circular Eli-Hops. I must be doing something wrong with the body move. I can never get those body moves right. Like those tricks where you see people basically doing a limbo move with their back to the crowd. I like how they look, but cannot get that movement down. That is my main problem with the hops. But I’m getting there. It is just something that I add to my daily practice.
