1. Leg Wrap trap: I can finally get it around without it hitting my shoe anymore, but I don’t know why I’m having so much difficulty. I can just never land the yoyo on the string behind me. 2. Pop n’ Fresh: I’ve gotten it before, but I keep consistently missing the string on the pop upwards after the mondial part. 3. Skin the Gerbil: I can get the yoyo to spin long enough, it’s just the moves I can’t perfect. Especially the first one (after the trapeze). But, practice makes perfect, so I’m still trying. What tricks are you having problems with? ---

well the leg wrap trap is really hard… for me it just took hours of practice and anticipating early on when that yo yo comes behind your back so your ready to catch it. What kind of yo yo are you using to do skin the gerbil? try to use one with the largest gap possible when your first learning. Just take each part of the trick and treat it like a separate event, work on each part until its perfect than put it all together. Practice.Practice.Practice thats the easiest way to master any trick. Good Luck!!! ;D ;D and I am currently struggling with double ninja vanish :-\ ---

For leg wrap trap, I always do a world tour first, helps me get aligned. For skin the gerbil, what I did was learn each individual part, and would take a break and piece like 3 of the pieces together, when that was solid, you add the next piece. ---

now for the Skin The Gerbil. To prevent slowing down the yoyo or snagging when doing it, i recommended using gloves. gloves help a lot in speed trick Tricks that i’m having a hard time with Iwasawa’s tower. this trick is nuts ---

Make sure you step forward in leg wrap trap, not just switching legs. Safest to practice this on carpet or soft places becuase the yoyo will often ding when learning behind the back tricks. I’m having trouble with Pop’n Fresh too. I can’t get it to, land on the right string. ---

Yeah it took me a few months to get being-e. Once you figure out the motion tho its easy. The cool thing about it tho is that you can do it from ANY mount, in the middle of any trick. Magic drop is still hard tho. Lol ---
