This one is going to be tuff for me. I can’t seem to manage my string tension all that well. It’s really amazing how clean he makes it look. This one is pretty advanced!! Good luck everyone. ---

Whew. I’ve been stuck on this part for a bit, which made it even trickier to debug the inverted GT… so decided to check back in on this thread. I’ll give it another go with this as my reference! Thanks! ---

Alright, so I got mega-confused on the setup, roll, and then inverted GT portion so I focused solely on that part today. Hopefully this is correct and helps some folks. If I’m goofing on some part, please let me know. Full video here (ignore janky shortcut part): [https://youtube.com/watch?v=lCujHEiUpF8&feature=shares](https://youtube.com/watch?v=lCujHEiUpF8&feature=shares) **Inverted GT Steps** Step 0: Do all the Angel combo leading up to this point. Step 1: Get into this mount, with twists on each index finger with horizontal string on the outside and vertical strings on inside: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/5/d/f5dbd2f56b8557007f24307664ee892ae212d6b7.jpeg) Step 2: Roll yoyo clockwise and inside over throwhand index finger, while still holding section under pinky and letting that come up and over TH thumb. Step 3: End up in this formation ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/9/5/995eec834d95e9a6a4a9bee6aa43e39b5db6c5af.jpeg) Step 4: Launch yoyo upwards into top horizontal string while dropping front string off TH index finger Step 5: Let yoyo fall inside/behind strings. Step 6: Carry on with Angel combo, my wayward sun. ---

Haven’t tried this one too much as it’s pretty far outside of my skill level. Got the first half down this morning but probably not going to complete it. Looking forward to tomorrow’s trick though 🙂 ---

Anybody mastered the whip after the inverted GT? IMO the hardest part. The last part is ok but the „double/720 whip“ is intense.

Yeah pretty hard. But I really learned a lot from this trick how to whip/throw and build tension on slacks. Will potentially take a year to digest all of this and get it smooth 😄. ---

Good Friday Trick-a-Week crew! My good friend @hesperaux showed me a very cool Ping-pong trick and i found a tutorial on it so i wanted to share it.

Excellent trick choice! This was quick and fun, I’m sure my ping pong will smooth out a bit more over time. Almost as satifying as Boingy Boing! I’ll admit, I’m still struggling with “The Angel”, but I’ll keep at it for sure. Friggin’ love fake knots, here’s my Week #3 submission: ---
