Okay I understand how everything in this trick mechanically works. The second slack wrap takes a bit of finesse to get it to actually line up and go all the way around, but that just a matter of practicing it more. For some reason I was really struggling to end in a formation where I could actually pop the yoyo up after the slack, I kept having the strings wrapped in a formation where the yoyo couldn’t go up from them, and I thought I might need to do a rejection that wasn’t mentioned in the video. I was overthinking it and simply not in the right formation lol. I’m not even really sure what my problem was before, but now I’m doing everything properly. Just need to put this all together now and land it. ---

What’s really hard is to catch the small loop coming around second. The rest is doable. Two things I realized, first be carful that the string does not reject when you land on the front string in the beginning, second when you hop from the formation @mable described bring your thumb inward so the Yoyo has more slack and can „jump“ of the string. Hope that may help some of you. ---

I’m assuming the problem you’re talking about is when you’re trying to make the second slack loop come around you accidentally put an extra twist in the strings coming off your throwhand pinch or sometimes a wrap around the bearing, which puts you in a mount you can’t pop out of. If anyone is having this problem make sure to keep the yoyo on the inside of your throwhand when that second slack loop is coming around, it’s really easy to accidentally swing the yoyo around too much and put the extra twist in the strings. You can get away with it going a bit past your throwhand if you’re careful ---

Close enough, really cool slack at the beginning. ---
