Love practiceing this trick. Havenāt landed it once since that almost successful video but this one rocks ā¦ edit 1. ok just landed it once very cleanish with no video. I promise!
Edit 2ā¦ after that i pt my camera on just incaseā¦ came pretty close here. I love this trick. I found Kendama legs help the hops go smoother, or cause less jerkiness in my hands.
45 more min of video just for a 20 sec clip!

Nice!
You guys are really impressing me. When I learned black hops, it took me way more than 3 days to start landing it clean/nearly clean. You guys are making it look pretty easy.
I landed it once clean and a few almosts the other day, but I didnāt want to push it. Iām getting some work done on my back, Iām hoping I can yo-yo more really soon. I have all these fun combos in my head that I just want to spend a few hours working on. So frustrating being limited to a few minutes a day right now.
Really crappy time to be needing any sort of medical care. Everyone is limiting the number of patients theyāre seeing. And practices that arenātā¦ probably arenāt places I want to be.

I havenāt actually put any time into this trick the last couple of days to be honest. Iām taking a bit of a much needed breather.
Think todayās a good day to practice though!

Last 3 weeks of TaW follow into eachother very nicelyā¦uf you can land itā¦i cannot land any of it but itās a thoughtā¦ hook (laceration or whatever i land thatās usable) into jacks slackā¦ assuming success here u can flip around back into triple or nothing (
) and finish with black hopsā¦ there is no chance .if this video successfully being produced by me for a while. But i challenge u guys out there! Week 15,16,17 in one throw!

I have not learned it 100% cleanā¦ i think only 1 time but i think im much better at old school tricks like this then techy stuff. Seems more natural in my clumsy handsā¦

Any one have a problem of when taking your TH finger out (black hop or candy rain) some of the wraps around my free hand come outā¦ almost like a rejectio except clearly i did something wrong.
I have been wondering if there is a difference if you pull your TH finger out above the plane of the yoyo or below?
Or is it that im being sloppyā¦ did that make sense?

I think part of the key is to point your fingers up as you pop the yo into the air and go to catch the stringā¦this video explains it:

During the second half of Black Hops? It helps to keep your fingers pointing outward, which also helps to keep the strings moving back toward your knuckles after and between each hop.
Which part of Candy Rain?

iām pretty solid with the first halfā¦
second half, i can get to the first undercut (trap cuz).
after that, the yoyo simply does not cooperate.

For the first half for anyone struggling, Iām finding it helps a lot to keep both hands pushing away from each other and keeping the strings tight.
Second half needs some blood magic it seems.

This one is tough and Iām still no where close.
But itās a really fun one to work on for me. Some tricks that I canāt get down are super frustrating and burn me out.
Iām liking this one. Holy hell itās going to be satisfying to actually pull one off eventually.
Also, I finally hopped all the way up from a trapeze to the triple today
Iām still very far away from feeling comfortable/confident with this though! lol at this rate, Iām not even sure Iāll be able to do the hops up to a triple again this week!

It felt weird trying to go into a double or nothing just now. Keep feeling the need to do one more wrap haha
