Boingy boing was a tough trick for me personally to learn, and I found a video that helped me learn it, but it still took a long time to get comfortable with it. I canāt find that video, so here is a short video with tips explaining the way my āaha momentā occured with it.
My recommendation to people who are struggling and not quite sure what theyāre missing, is to tilt the split bottom mount back so that the yoyo rests on the back string. That way you can boing it into the front string, then back, and then use gravity to let you reset/get it back to the back string. Getting to that front and back string smooth is the first step, but play with the speed that you pull up and down to find the cadence you need. Start slow to just get it to the front and back string, and speed up to see how it affects the strings and how far you hand needs to move up and down. Something that I didnāt explain well in the video is that by tilting the mount back, it forces you to pull the string up and down to move the yoyo, rather than rocking it. If you can forward and back once, try and get 2 string hits in a row, then 3, then 4, ect.
Because weāre building off boingy boing this month, hit @ben_jammin or myself up if you want some help. We want to make sure that people can participate.
