Question when doing this trick are we supposed to pull the yoyo through the NTH Chopsticks back onto trapeze or is the yoyo supposed to hop over the thumb to land back into trapeze. I find it very challenging to go through the NTH Chopstick but I’m not sure if that’s even right. ---

I think your hand goes almost automatically in a chopsticks formation. Like naturally. ---

It’s a pulling motion with the TH while the yoyo is swinging up towards your chopstick formation of the NTH. I think momentum is your friend on this one… ---

**Week 6 ADHD** Happy Friday yall! This week is going to be one with an easy setup but somewhat tricky execution. [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/6/7/f671664624f9a00da3db649c09394506cc7c20e5.jpeg "ADHD Yo-yo Trick Tutorial") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0O9Kl6x9r_M) This is definitely one you have to just commit to the movement. He touches on this in the video I just thought I’d underline it. Also, when hopping back into the triangle, it worked best for me to really make the yo arc up and around. In the video you can see the segment of the string attached to the yo is taught as it swings back to the triangle formation. This was pretty important for me. The less i did this, the lower my accuracy. Those are my up front tips, but as usual, if you have trouble just ask. Good luck, have fun, and have a great weekend! ---
