I need some help with bucket hops, its a lil out of my “league” but i really wanna learn it now cuz its awesome. Anyway, i get it to drop in the bucket but when i make it hop out then back in, it just flies out and dismounts or it doesnt land on the string… any tips? and yes, ill keep practicing.

Thanks, in advance ;D

It’s more or less the same as eli hops. Same prinicple at least. If by saying it dismounts you mean it flies out to the left then just work on getting good eli hops.
