After you throw it over your right hand and drop everything but your thumb, I don’t get the X, only some weird remain of the ladder on my right wrist. ---

When I throw it, I have my two pointer fingers out, a loop around both of them, and something on my pointer, like a part of the ladder stayed… ---

Okay… I need help again. What do you do after the yoyo goes through the loop? I can’t see what the left hand is doing. How do you thank? BTW, nice new trick. ---

The slack bit? Land on the little triangle by the freehand, hop off and around towards the throwhand, and swing underneath the same triangle as before. ---

Land the yoyo on the little triangle by your freehand. Hop off that triangle towards the freehand, and continue around. Swing through the bottom of the triangle you just landed on, land in trapeze. ---
