Spirit bomb
Honestly, if I feel a trick is too hard and doesnāt suit my style, I just skip it.
Tower laceration and reverse brent stole is few of them.
But the one I want to master but failed to do so is seasick
Through my learning, Boingy boing was the most frustrating trick to learn.
That dang brent stole >:( three years in and I still cant do it :ā(
Another vote for Brent Stole. Dat repetative strain injury thoā¦
Boingy boings by far. I gave up and could just magically do it one day. Iām still not sure how all you people canāt get Brent stole. Iām going to make a tutorial because the current ones suck.
Hmm really? It does take a little practice but at least I could conceptualize what was actually happening unlike Brent stole which I can watch over and over and still not comprehend whatās happening
I was able to boingy boing from the very first try, before I could even breakaway. It just clicked with me straight away, whereas brent stole took me tonnes of practice to be able to hit consistently.
I think these āknackyā tricks are just ones that either you can do pretty much straight away, or you just to practice your bum off until they finally make sense.
Iād love to make a tutorial for Brent Stole but Iād really need to use a Gopro to do it properly. Itās hard teaching someone a trick like that from the frontā¦
Ladder escape, you make one wrong move, or accidentally drop it, knotsā¦ Knots everywhere.
Brent Stole had me scratchin my head for a few years hahaha, but one fateful day i just got it down, same with finger spins. Perseverance can give you a good feeling inside.

Never found Brent Stole hard once I read and paid attention to the directions. I kept putting my THROWHAND forward, but I needed to put the NTH forward after intercepting the string. As soon as I went ādoh, Iāve been using the wrong hand!ā I could hit it pretty consistently.
I never did get the knack for doing it with normal-weight strings, though. I need a dense string or I get that repetitive stress injury going on. 
Hooks I got BEFORE Brent Stoles, but I can never land them anymore. I lost the knack after I got the stoles!
Boingy-boing I got quickly. Over/Under Boingy-boing took a bit more practice, but I watched a video of Sanchez202 doing it and then got it pretty quickly after that.

To answer the question, though:
The one that caused me no end of frustration is the I Be a Minute GT. I just saw Logi and Jordanās latest video, and Logi nails it! Iāve done it on the breakaway, but rarely. Usually I get string tangles. I gave up and now I just do it on the front throw and I can get it every time. But confining myself to the breakaway, I was rarely if ever landing it. SO MANY STRING WAMBLES! Logiās āquick tipā in his tutorial was the final confirmation I needed for knowing for sure how to do it rightā¦ and Sanchez202 showed me that the front throw was less snaggly. After that, I got consistent FAST. (FINALLY!)
We have to limit this to just one? :-[
I, like others, can do Boing-e-boing but only a few times before the yoyo shoots out. Iām not in control at all.
I canāt do anything that has the word āsuicideā in it. I look like a moron trying to do those.
And worst of all, Spirit bomb. I can get through half of that trick, but can never land the last part where the yoyo has to drop through the triangle. I got it ONCE and then never again. I like to think back fondly on that day. 
boingy boing
Trick that I can do now somewhat regularly: Spirit Bomb
Trick that I still canāt land, no matter what I try: Brent Stole
For some reason my first try and Boing E Boing I got it but on successive attempts I would pop out after a coupon bounces.
But Brent Stole I think I landed once out of a hundred tries of doing it wrong. It took a while to actually wrap my head around how the final āloopā goes around the string to land the yoyo on. Still working on it and at least I kind of get how the motion of it works. Hook I can get with a couple tries now pretty consistently but Brent Stole still blows my mind when I see it at full speed with triple loops going into it.
Ok, I tried for about 10 minutes to get this trick, but I was mind boggled at the complexity and amazingness, and it was so hard even for the first 2 moves!!! I dare somebody to try and do pajama man. So hard! Here is a link to it.
Lol youāre just like I was last night
After that first part it gets easier. The 2 whips are impossible :o
IKR!! Man, IMO, brent stole is easy. All it took was one night of pure trying, and I got it. I only had a little help from my friend. I might make a tut on how to do it.
Wait, is it like a suicide catch on your throwhand index? to get in to the 1.5?
It gets you into that if you land the suicide
For me itād have to be spirit bomb. Iāve been doing it for like a year now but havnāt been able to do it twice in a row without failing xD
