I think @EOS44 has some great tutorials and i like single or short elements that can be combined in other moves

😱 🤣
I busted my knuckles over and over learning NV. A few times I noticed half my string was suddenly bright red… and sticky. I still have scars on my knuckles from that. It was actually this tutorial that helped me stop banging my knuckles on the yo-yo.
Now I just need to finally get that hook variation down tho.

I’m actually the complete opposite 😅 I love doing hooks !!! In fact I’m finally landing 2.0 hook consistently !!!

I went through a phase of hitting this, and now I can’t… Ugh! Jealous of anyone who can hit 2.0 consistently.

I’ve been trying to land a 2.0 hook for MONTHS like many….many…. months 😆 but recently I got the rhythm down and I’m starting to land it regularly. But you can land a -2.0 hook !!! I’ve tried doing it but whipping the string in the opposite direction while keeping the tempo right is just way to hard for me lol :joy:

So this week’s one is tricky… Can’t quite work out the whipping motion… It’s one of those ones where I guess you can’t describe it in a video, you just need to feel it out.

How’s everyone doing with this trick?
I can hook the yo-yo, but I rarely hook it correctly(like 1 in 5 successful hooks), and I don’t understand _how_ to do it right so I can do the proper dismount like @EOS44 does in the tutorial.
The way I’m landing the hook still allows me to dismount back into a brother mount, so it’s a usable trick but it’s not a correct @EOS44 Ninja Hook.
Edit: of course… right after posting this I started making some progress

I’m not doing this trick 🤣 haven’t hit one hook yet, but again, not sure if I’m doing the motion correctly.
TBH, the weather at the moment in the UK is making it nearly impossible to yoyo.

I hear ya. It’s been pretty miserable where I live (the local MTB trail—not a common thing to have, and it’s a good one) has been mostly dead for weeks. We had a brief respite on Sunday, was nice to see other people at the trail again.
Take care man.

What a shame to enter this thread… So many nice tricks and no time to practice.
If I had to choose one, which one would it be ?? I will do that one.

I feel honored my tricks get picked for thid thread! Thank you!
Ninja hook gets pretty consistent with regulat practice. So consistent you can make it a repeater with the proper dismount.

Any advice for the whip motion, as this feels really alien, even though I can do just ninja vanish normally.

🤦♂️ This is the dismount I thought was incorrect. I can do this way pretty consistently.
I’m confused though. In the tutorial video above, you’re doing a different dismount, where you roll left twice—not the full roll around both hands followed by a double on like in the gif.
In order to do the dismount like in the first video, you have to, _I think—maybe I’m just missing something_, catch the yo-yo with the loop twisted, which is doable with a more exaggerated ninja vanish-like motion… but it’s crazy hard to do consistently. I did manage to hit 3 in a row like that, but the next day I landed like 1 in 100.
Edit: oh, and @EOS44, we’re always extremely grateful when you visit us here. Thanks a lot man.

for anyone having troubles with the dismount: the dismount is probably the least important part of the trick. I change the way i dismount according to what i want to do next, so I wont pretend you guys have to be imposed a correct way to do it.
As long as you can land the actual hook, you can dismount however you like.

Can anyway offer some tips on the hook? I can do ninja vanish normally, but can’t get it to work for ninja hook 🫤
