Dude you’re looking super clean!
What do you mean by the final finger hook bit?

What you do at 00:17 on your video.
Adam suggests to make a hook with the NTH index to be able to do it twice, but I haven’t really understood how to do it yet. I have to stop because my finger is stuck in the string.

Amazing video.
If I could like a post twice, I would.
Thanks a lot @MoonageMin 
You helped me on the two parts that are giving me problems:
- Making the first triangle as fast as possible just after entering the ladder with the yoyo.
- The finger-hook stuck in the string towards the end
Great 0 take execution at the end too, what is the trick you did before the Ladder Escape? It looks cool!

That’s Week #10 so you are only 3 tricks away from learning that too!

3 awesome tips for spirit bomb! TH slightly higher…pop yoyo really high… re align bottom sitting of wrist mount. Fantastic! So obvious and NOT! Thank you!
Separate note… what is that bind you do. Looks like you just push a button on ther yoyo and spin it.

Thanks man, yeah it’s all obvious tips, but when you are getting frustrated you don’t really realise it.
Also everything happens so fast that it might not be so obvious unless pointed out, I found these out by trial and error and it helped me a lot.
The bind I do is just a regular snap start
This is a guide I made 5 months ago for someone else

Dude i wad joking about your tips being obvious… a truly skilled player takes the complex and makes it obvious for us regular folks. It was not obvious before your video.
So to snap start i need to fly to Korea? Ok

Yeah I totally got you first time round
I’m just saying sometime when you are frustrated when not landing things you start missing the obvious, so I was just hoping by pointing them out it helps people
Haha yeah basically just put on a nice long show and get snapping

Man, I’m looking forward to Spirit Bomb!
Here’s some progress on Ladder Escape:
Next step: I need to focus on the GT drop at the end of the trick because at the moment I instinctively do it a bit differently.
How you guys doing?

Hey guys, bit of a long post here so I’m sorry in advance!
Just letting ya’ll know that I’m choosing to take a step back from things for a bit.
I need to take a breather, a step back…get my head back on my shoulders.
I’m not quitting, and I’m not leaving. I’ll still be here to bug and cheer ya’ll on! I’ll still be helping Moons pick out tricks each week and will continue to slowly work my way through things.
But I’m putting too much pressure on myself and have everything worked up into a mess in my head and I’m just not in a mental space right now that is helpful to myself or any one else. I’m treating things as a competition and I’m having some very stinky thinking…where I feel super far behind and like I’ll never catch up. I pretty much feel like a loser and these feelings of inadaquacy are draining most of the fun out of yoing for me and it’s making me envious of others…that envy is bad in friendships as it can lead to resentments and pent up frustrations.
So I need to release a bit. Regroup. Think things throuh and move past this wall I keep walking face first into.
I’m not quitting. This isn’t my “screw it, I’m throwing in the white towel. See you guys later!” speach.
This is me realizing that things as they are just aren’t working as intended. I love this hobby and love a lot of people in this community. It’s been a real honor to become friends with some of you and to watch so many of you progress as well as you have! This hobby is amazing.
Sorry for the long post guys.
Keep on keeping on! I’m still here, I’m just choosing to take a step off the main stage for a while so I can regroup and refocus myself!
Looking forward to continuing this journey with everyone!

I’m not going anywhere…you can put the party supplies away! Sorry to ruin your excitement! 
I just want to shed some of this pressure I keep putting on myself for no good reason. Unwind a little…maybe stop focusing 100% on T-A-W with my practice sessions and just…throw for awhile.
I’ll still be here…just trying to figure out ways to work through things.
I need a change or I’ll be no good to anyone.

Man, lots of great tips here!
I really like the tip of letting the string go over both your middle finger and ring finger after popping off the Ladder Mount to make it easier to get into the next bits.
I’m getting to the part where you drop the string off your fingers to get into the GT thing (the part before you get the the bit where you whip the string around your hand…lol I’m butchering my description here so bad! lmao).
Nice going AK! 
Been a while since I’ve worked on this one! lol damn I’m SO close to it. I can’t believe with how close I am with it, that I’ve never hit it >.<’
This looks like a fun one to re-visit. Looking forward to watching your video!
I absolutely love Snap Starts! They look really neat, are satisfying, save a ton of time and it’s a great to maintain your current string tension/torsion.
My snaps aren’t super powerful, but they’re strong enough and I’m sure they’ll get more powerful in time. I don’t remember the last time I’ve wound a yo up without a snap start.
High praise and well deserved! Moons has really grown so much over these months! He’s helped me and SO many others and I’m glad he takes the time and puts in the effort to help as much as he does!
Okay, let me fix that for you.
haha that was crazy smooth man!

Also, I had 3 of Moon’s youtube videos posted above going at once. 3 moons talking all at the same time.
It was like I was living in a real life moon filled nightmarish fun house!
I’m not even sure I’ll be able to fall asleep tonight!
