**Week 48–Jakub Plader Double Slack Tower** [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/b/0/db076af0c165e3ea92f3e45074ea261829be4602.jpeg "Jakub Plader tutorial - double slack to tower yoyo trick") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouiYIt4J1jA) Yooooo!!! Happy Friday!!! This week we’re going to be learning this super super cool double slack tower trick by Jakub Plader. This trick looks so sweet to me and I’m excited for y’all to learn it! There is no voice but I think the tutorial does a good job of highlighting the steps. It is also a trick you can take your time with like you can do one slack and then the other to figure it out before putting them together. Let me know if y’all have any questions at all! ---
