For anyone wondering you have to “hook” the string into the front of the yoyo:)

Nice one. Especially for doing it so fast and on a plastic!

I need help on the whip, I for some reason don’t get what your throw hand does

You wanna whip the string all the way around to come under and then over your non throw hand. As the loop comes around, grab it with your throw hand ring and pinky finger so it doesn’t just fly away. Before you start the whip, make sure the yoyo is dangling off your wrist, not your finger. It needs to be this way to keep the loop wide open and for you to hook correctly.

Play the YouTube video at 0.25 speed and pay attention to all the movements. That helped me getting it

I’m about to yeet a yoyo through a window. I can’t stop rejecting or binding as soon as I start the first inside loop from the 1.5. The one time I did get the first loop I got a surprise bind right afterwards. Halp.

As chaosgow mentioned earlier, smoothness doesn’t matter here, so focus more on getting the yoyo in the right spot and with the right motions. If you take is slowly and carefully, it shouldn’t be a problem
side note though, I find it helps if I sort of exaggerate the motion and try to keep the strings taught as I weave so I get a large motion. To do this, you need to hold the yoyo kinda far from your body as well as limit your string length

I think I’ve learned like 7 different hooks trying to do that one and it never ends up right. I don’t know what’s going on.

Just curious… Is anybody planning on actually buying the yoyo?
Or just trying to win the free one?

Ah this is probably where the confusion comes from.
This is the thread you are looking for where people were discussing if they want to buy one.
The thread we are currently on is more specific to completing the Absurdity Tutorial.

You mean you’re struggling with the figure 8s? They can be a pain. As you get comfortable with them, keep your hands closer together and extend your arms as much as you can. Also make sure the string extends and you don’t get any slack in it.
