Hey all, I’m looking for a cool way to get from this @EOS44 hop tower to a green or red triangle. (Red would be awesome, but my hopes are not high.)

This is a neat basic tower, you can just drop it and be in a twisted trapeze. Makes this one a good one for a lot of transitions. Try popping it straight up and landing here on this string. GT. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/8/1/4815c0bf56a049d82401f74bb81a97810fea3ca3.jpeg) ---

We may be doing different towers lol. Every time I try the hop I get a big jumble of string. ---

Twisty trapeze then NTH pointer and thumb into position, Hop it out the back landing on the string I highlighted, should get a GT. ---

Boom you can land on that string @Shwa pointed out and it’s a gt but you need to hop from the front and it works if you hop behind the strings it doesn’t work. I’m gonna clean it up now let me know if that’s working for you Edit: it’s a gt with an extra wrap but still :+1: ---

Yeah I just woke up and learned this yesterday so it’s super sloppy like I was chilling on the trapeze just thinking for a second and I missed the first uncross arms hop and the tower reveal is sloppy but I got the hop to triangle part pretty clear edit: Here is a nearly clean version except the GT reveal is slow and I missed the trapeze when I bounced out the GT but combine them and you should get the idea lol. ---

Nice! I guess I’m just not hopping aggressively enough. But also was hoping for something without the extra twists. Might not be possible. Also it could be more than one move, a rotation or a rejection even. I like what you did though and will try to land it myself. Tomorrow. Fridays are for fixies. ---

There is definitely a way to get it clean with an extra move. I messed up once my hitting the inner strings of the tower (I think) and then rolled over my right hand and it made a clean gt. I tried to replicate it but that hop was even harder to hit. The way in the vids is weird though. It’s an awkward hop because you can’t pull it to there like an Eli hop or black hops you kinda gotta move and catch it also awkward to drop the strings off the index to make the triangle and the extra wrap makes it slow or my string is dirty. Let me know if you figure something else out eventually though and lol enjoy the fixie play ---

Thank you for making this! Super sick to see a real string scientist at work. In general, are you passing the Yoyo in front of the strings when they are in that tower? I think so but my yo vision is still developing. Thanks
