2 dropped before I could complete 1.
Hopefully I can complete both before 3 drops

Once 3 drops, you got 2 weeks to finish all 3. I’m sure you’ll do it by the 5th

Does the bind count as the trick too?

I’d prefer if you landed the bind and I think it’s a great bind you should learn, but I won’t exclude you for not doing it on video.

If you’re still struggling with this what I found helped me was just practicing the whip without trying to catch the hook. Just get that motion of grabbing the string and getting the loop to go around the yoyo to feel more natural before even trying to catch it. I also found that for me it was easier to hook the string with my TH pinky as opposed to the ring finger. Might not be true for everyone but it helped me.

Thank you that does make sense. I’ll practice making it hook consistently first and then try and do the same while catching the string in two stages instead of trying to learn everything in one go
Also will give pinky a go.
Thank you for the advice!
I managed to land two hooks so far (out of like over 10 hours of tries no joke). But both time I couldn’t catch the string.
But then again I don’t hook consistently with this movement like I do with other simpler hooks as it is so maybe I need to work on that first as you have suggested.
This is the furthest I got on this so far.

I am still trying to figure this out just like you so take everything I say with a grain of salt, but I believe that when you hook the string with your TH it will drastically change the way your loop opens up. So you are definitely going to want to get that down first.

That’s sorta what I did, I had the string on my TH ring finger, but it slipped off when I landed the hook, or just before maybe. I think getting the grab down first is what I need to do.
Edit: also, maybe recording my attempts with my new black light might highlight what I’m doing wrong.

Hehe flexing that new black light. I like it

It’s really nice how it lights up the string regardless of recording.

Saw trick 1 had some Figure 8’s in it and knew I had to join in lol. Even dug out my nearly 7 year old YYE shirt lol

Ah you go it!! Nice one dude!
uh oh, am I now like the only one who hasn’t got this yet?

Yeah that’s the best one I could get on film. Try letting your NTH go partially under the yoyo during the whip. That helped me get more consistent. Also I don’t do it around my wrist. That was making my whip way too wide for me.
