I had to YouTube “vanilla RIB stole” to see what you guys were talking about 😃 Not to brag, but I learned that one 3 years ago. It’s tricky, but so is rocking a rhyme that’s right on time :wink: ---

> [@yooldman](#): > > I’m trying to learn RIB Stole (vanilla) at the moment. Tough to learn, but I guess it’s one of those tricks that you can’t get until you start making it and then you’re like, “It’s so simple.” Maybe I can help? How close are you getting? What segment would you say you are having problems with? 1. Overwhip 2. Overwhip and catch with non-throw hand/finger 3. Hands cross 4. Landing in the triangle As for all you youngins learning things in 5 minutes, don’t worry. Time will take care of that. Check back in 20 years and let me know how that is working out for you. Then I will be impressed if you are keeping up with the kids 15-20 years younger than you learning new things. Then just making the motions to complete a trick will hurt. 😃 ---

I tried taping it to figure out what was happening, but it looked like I was having a muscle spasm. :wink: ---

The only thing I can think to suggest is to try make sure that your hands are parallel when you catch the yoyo. The segment of string that catches the yoyo is doing all the work for you. Your throw hand starts the whip between you and the yoyo, but that motion should transition in front of the yoyo in a fluid motion. I’m not sure how much you should focus on that last part, because I didn’t realize I was doing it until I watched my own film in slow motion. ---

its possible to do a zero wrap RIB with proper string tension when you bounce the yoyo up and undercut with TH right away , just that it looks awkward when done alone. ---

> [@Rixtify](#): > > GT Tower? Do you mean something like an Iwasawa Tower formation? Im pretty sure GT tower if where you make a Tower then land the yoyo in the top most section. Turn it on its side and swing the yoyo on the the bottom string of that section. Maybe the Tower it GT is different from GT tower. idk ---
