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

This one is CHALLENGING! Andre B. makes it look easy!
Bonus apparently i learned a laceration in the within my failures last night. But the hook is still no where to be found.
No stirng torsion! I feel like i check torsion all the time. It’s my best trick now😆

Edit … i just realized i wasn’t practicing a hook. The hook actually goes over both strings and the string hooks? But the laceration i actually insert my finger into the loop that’s formed? Is that right? I think my brain exploded.

edit 2… i think this needs to be practiced with a lighter yoyo… how high do you pop the yoyo? I guess as high as necessary…

I haven’t started working on this reverse hook yet…but with the regular Hidemasa Hook…figuring out how high to pop the yo up was really important in getting consistent with it. Not sure if the same will apply with this reverse.

Also…I have a very strong feeling that this little element is going to kick my butt! lol

Wow! I’m so proud of how much progress you’ve made. I bet you didn’t even imagine this sort of complicated stuff when you were starting out.

André makes every trick look ridiculously easy. There are few things as fun to watch as André just talking and throwing yoyo…there is a reason he IS the YoyoExpert!

Edit to add: Brent Stole has really messed up my regular hook. I decided to “warm up” for this week’s trick with some hooks…landed a dozen Brent Stoles in a row, 0 hooks. Smack my head…

For some reason, double reverse hook is like 900000 times more difficult than standard double hook. I finally started hitting it consistently last week!

This Hook is tough! I did land one tonight (but not from a trapeze). It’s going to take me a while to get use to the movements on this one though.

Also, it seems way more difficult to do it off of a trapeze to me.

Hehehe this is 2 month old video of the day I learnt this so I’m slightly cheating.
But I learnt the reverse hook on 15’th Jan.

Works well for me as I am still buried under work and this weekend I was a bit ill from lack of sleep and over work.
So a week to hopefully get my life back on track and start catching up finally. I hope :frowning:

You’ve just probably had not good “stuff”. “Stuff” is wonderful and therapeutic. Best muscle relaxer I’ve ever tried—long story, think I already told you about it.
