MoonageMin & Twitch's Trick-a-Week Challenge! (2020)

this trick is infuriating. the hops are difficult. the triangle formation, from the Double-or-Nothing, is freakin’ difficult to hop out of.

Agreed!
I’ve only worked on it for about 20’ish mins so far today…and I am making progress. At first I couldn’t pop out of the mount in the first place…now I’m able to but am having issues with the last hop.

We’ll get it down though! :smiley:

The flu has been kicking my butt the past few days but I’ve gotten in just a couple minutes here and there when I’m able to. I barely have enough energy to do a snap start lol.

I was also having issues with the hops, but found that I have much better luck trying to do them slower and more exaggerated. That last hop is the one Im currently struggling to hit confidently enough to drop it into the bind.

Yes, that’s a great suggestion!

Guys, I see that someone is having hard time with this trick and I’m afraid is because I gave some steps for granted in my previous tutorial just because I’m doing this with muscle memory and I did not catch of some my finger movements, I know it’s weird. Anyways, I have recorded another tutorial taken from another angle. Let me know if this helps

The biggest issues I’m having atm are getting the yo to pop off the string right before the hops…and then hopping onto the very last string is difficult as well.

I feel like once I can consistently pop the yo off the string to do the hops…I’ll be able to get this trick down. But dang…I’m struggling with this! lol

Surprisingly this is vey challenging… when i first saw the video i underestimated how tuff these hops are… i think i got the hand formation and the first hop. 5 days to go.

I have to say the underpass is awesome into DoN… I’ve thrown that into my routine and thank you for that. Seriously.
But the hops are ugly and deff not video worthy… but twice last night i made it to the 3rd hop.

lol I’m glad others are struggling with the hops! :stuck_out_tongue:
I was afraid tons of you guys were going to be posting videos super quickly…while I’d be left in your dust still struggling! lol

We can get it though! Still plenty of time left this week :smiley:

Does anyone else have their slipknot shift a little during the first undercut? Like 6/10 times it shifts just enough to drive me bonkers lol.

Do you do a single or a double slip knot? Do you have issues with slip knots on other tricks?

I use a double slip knot and don’t typically have issues anymore. I made a video on how to do doubles…

lol just a day or 2 before making the video I slammed my yo into the tip of my non-throw hand pointer finger just underneath my fingernail…hard! lol got pitch black under my nail. I still have a bit of a scar there! >.<’

Its kind of hit or miss sometimes with having the knot rotate on me (especially with thicc string) but Ill give that double slip a try!

Ouch! My Draup bit me a couple times yesterday because the bearing was a bit dirty or breaking in and it hit my knuckles… repeatedly. It kept doing it at just the wrong time. Now I have a lovely, rust red Airetic string.
