All right. Round 3! Snap wind → loop out → reverse lunar stall ---

I get confused with some of the naming, either that or houdini stall? Like a double or nothing but over the thumb. ---

Snap start is honestly mostly just building the strength. [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/6/b/d6b1f53f31daaa153b457bbe45ce5cd9fe448aed.jpeg "Fixed Axle Yo-Yo Trick Tutorial: SNAP-START") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZQp8qHAF7g) ---

Fwiw, personally, Snap Starts are about function over form. Idk how much a trick is allowed to change before it’s called something else, but my hands aren’t dexterous enough to pull it off like in the video Keith shared, but using my arm and wrist, I can emulate that “snap” which results with me having a previously completely unfurled throw ending up as completely wound Idk if anything I said helps with this KotH challenge, but if your sole goal is to quickly wind up (but not necessarily look fantastic doing it), there’s ways to emulate or “brute force” it. In my mind, Snap Start isn’t really a trick you use on purpose (unless you’re doing something like this), so I treat this trick as more of a tool with flair to get me back to doing/learning tricks I want to learn quicker ---

There are plenty of other fun ways to wind. Snap start is my most used, but I also love engineer starts. I absolutely _do_ use snap starts on purpose and if I was pressed to do a freestyle I would probably kick it off with snap start to trapeze stall (I call this snap-to-trap) 😃 If you want to participate in this round, just show off the start and I’ll make a ruling. I want this to be _fun_ and _inclusive_ but also _challenging_ and I felt this fit the bill. ---

“fun and inclusive” - proceeds to making me kickflip after all this lol ---

> [@TryCatchThrow](#): > > There are plenty of other fun ways to wind. Snap start is my most used Both statements are true for me as well. Despite what I said, I _do_ agree snap starts can be used purposefully. I personally don’t use them as such. But I’m not artistic enough to do any sort of freestyle, much less have any flow. I’m a one-trick-at-a-time pony. My head would explode before I could even think of _stringing_ 🥁 two tricks together. I’d love to join, but I’m (recording) camera shy, my aforementioned inability to freestyle, and am terrible at competitions. I’m happy lurking and being envious of everyone who participates having even a modicum of ability more than me to string tricks together, one after another ---
