That’s perfectly normal. Some people find some tricks easier than others. Just because someone struggles with “Expert” level tricks, it does not mean that they cannot do “Master” level tricks at their current level.

Well, I wouldn’t say it’s normal, but nor would i say it’s abnormal. People learn differant things at differant speeds. The levels andre put up are just guidlines. If you are really struggling with a trick, don’t be afraid to skip it. Noone really does them in perfect order. So their hardly is a “normal”.

If you don’t mind me saying, what i find strange is that you can do hook, and not slack trapeze.

I find hook easy. I just stick my finger out and spin my throwhand and i land it more than 50%. Its not that hard. Slack tapeze you need a little skill. Just my opinion 😛

The thing that gets me about Rewind, is I’m so used to the string finding it’s own way around my fingers, like McBride Rollercoaster does, and in Rewind, I haven’t gotten to where I feel comfortable readjusting the strings so they don’t cross up.
