Here. Ninja hook is crazy hard, but this video is a great example of NV from a brother mount. Some great tips too, and they’re relevant for NV from brother or brother slack—I went from landing the NV like 5% of the time to 80 or 90% in one day. Of course… that number dips a good bit if I haven’t practiced it.

You mind if I suggest a trick for you guys? I have a few, here they are: 1. Beefhook 2. Kamikaze 2 (aka yellow airplanes) 3. Mario and Luigi 4. Underwater basket weaving. Ik you guys decide the tricks but I think it would be really cool if you guys tried to learn these. Feel free to say no, it won’t hurt my feelings lol. ---

10 hours later, watched eos tutorial 4 times and i think i realized you mean i could do regular NV, regular brother NV (eos tutorial 2nd NV), NV brother Slack (repeater i did) and a crazy NV hook which eos is in a league of his own (1st NV in his video) . Is that correct? ---

Sorry, was just being rather dense and unclear. I was just saying I like to do it different ways depending on the combo. And after watching eos44’s video is when NV clicked for me; I could do it, just not easily. ---

I don’t wanna brag or anything… except maybe a little 😁 I just got Ninja Hook down. Not very consistent yet. I started working on it last night from 2-3am 🥱 Worth it. ---

Yeah i started to work on the NV from the brother mount… i understand how it’s the same move but i totally can’t get it, but i nailed the slack NV brother 🙃 ---

Aha! I thought I was stupid or something when I was doing the same thing… I would also smack my knuckles on the yo-yo so hard they’d bleed, repeatedly. Finally stopped doing that after watching that video. And some practice based on what I saw of course. ---

I haven’t practiced too much, but I can get into knot land most of the time. I just am just having a hard time keeping each side open as I hop around after that point. ---

I am so behind on all the posts and messages and social media etc :joy: I’ll catch up soon, but in the meantime, I just got home from longboarding and I wanted to post up this week’s trick before it’s too late. 🙂 This week we are learning Asian Pops, or pops (but Asian pops sounds cooler) Another great fundamental for us to add to our arsenal 🙂 [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/5/1/a513750a283695ac6cffef6efee69ac626317792.jpeg "Learn the Pops Yoyo Trick - AKA Asian Pops") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aquNysIayrk&t=25s) ---
