Hey! I’ve asked this before, and I was pointed towards a tutorial Alexis JV did for hipster whips. But I just realized they’re two completely different tricks. Alexis does both of them in his 2012 Canadian Nats Championship-winning freestyle. [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/0/f/90f8028a15504666bddf9585917bf590dda71523.jpeg "Alexis JV: 2012 Canadian Nats - 1A 1st") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVKa2NcJ5iY) He does the trick I want to learn at 1:28 He does hipster whips at 1:50. Granted, they’re both cool tricks. I just want to learn the first one at the moment. 🙂 Does anyone have a tutorial/know of a tutorial for this one? I’d like to see something with a better angle and much closer. I don’t know what it’s called. Bonus: Jensen does a similar trick here at 1:36 too. Still not the best angle since I can’t really get a good look at what he’s doing with his NTH [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/0/1/301b60b085ae56f80fa9489da3464889b3356e37.jpeg "2011 California State YoYo Championships 1A - Jensen Kimmitt") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PUtNTeH3S8) ---

AJV made a tutorial of it a long time ago, but has been taken down for a while. It’s called “Wave Slack”. I like to think of it like a follow (you pinch, swing slack, regrip) done with both hands. The best tutorial I can find is here: [Wave Slack | YoYo Wiki | Fandom](http://www.yoyowiki.org/wiki/Wave_Slack) ---

Yeah, I’ve seen that. It’s not hipster whips that I want to learn, though. It’s 1:28 in Alexis’ freestyle. It’s like a jump-rope move. ---

Sorry, looks like you were responding as I posted that ^^^ Interesting! So, maybe I should ask Jayyo? (That’s Josh Yee, right? haha)
