**Week 37 Double or Pacman**

Ok gang, no pain this week. Gonna take it back to @ChrysaeThrows and a fun trick that’s not too hard at all. The hardest part of this one is getting the rejection consistent. To that end, just note that the rejection happens on the down stroke not the hop. In the video he gives the tip to keep hands spread apart for the rejection. This is true, but also just concentrate on getting a good hop and a solid land on the correct string and the rejection should start happening.

Good luck and have fun! Have a great weekend!

There’s something about repeaters like this that I really love. This trick isn’t the most complex trick we’ve done, but it encourages getting more comfortable with another variation of a jade whip.

Is the yoyo just passing behind the NTH in the second part?

Nah not really like the yoyo goes around and tranfers into the “top” string. It is pretty hard to explain with words but there is a transition from the yoyo being in the mount it is in before going around the outside to another string but you shouldn’t have to think about it once you feel the feel of doing it. One general tip is that if you get the hands more vertical for the transition, it makes it way easier. I will make a video to try to help explain it in a bit because it is unintuitive for sure and the tut is super super simple and has very little call outs to the finer details.

Edit: aight here’s a walkthrough
