(see skin the gerbil, mcbride roller coaster, kwijibo) thanks! EDITTTTT: just learned asian hops and loving it, and people go “OMG” and “how the _explicit_ do you do that?” looking for a new form of the trick! ---

Asian hops, behind the back eli hops, and then there’s just doing eli hops at a bunch of different angles. Kwijibo is also sort of eli hoppish in my opinion. ---

On Iron whip, well first, check string tension. Next thing is don’t rush it. I mean don’t pop the yoyo then go swinging like a mad man. Just relax and swing it normally. I’ve been hurt a lot of times due to whipping like crazy. Next is when you can practice the whipping motion on a dead (not spinning) yoyo. Just hold one half of the yoyo with your nonthrowhand then practice whipping the yoyo into the gap. Also, when your doing the actual iron whip, you might need to lower the whipping hand / throw hand to compensate for the falling yoyo. When you are having a really hard time with Iron whip, try jade whip first. Some find it easier some don’t. ---

Iron whip is easy , i can’t believe you took 3 months and can’t do it , just practice doing it easy and make sure your string tension is 0% because “spaghetti” can sometime ruins most whipping tricks ---

> [@Rakleon](#): > > Iron whip is easy , i can’t believe you took 3 months and can’t do it… I am very uncomfortable with comments such as this one. There is no encouragement or assistance to be found in a phrase such as this, only denigration and deflation of another’s endeavors in learning new tricks. Fortunately I believe supbreh1234 is resilient enough to not be crushed by such undo criticism. Easy or not, I for one continue to struggle with landing whips. I don’t think they’re easy at all. Let’s be careful to be certain our remarks only encourage and teach others how to improve. Things like “I can’t believe you can’t…” is derogatory and insulting and really just not very nice. ---

Uhhhh… let’s make this clear okay , i’m not trying to be insulting or despice anyone or anythings . Do you thinks of the possibility that i’m just being suprise or more like a jokes ??? Yes , i do find my comments may have been a bit rude to says and i’m sorry if ever offence the writer of this topic . Yes , i know that to other people that’s some tricks maybe hard to learn by and can be frustrating . But do you even read the next sentences of my comment at all ??? ---

You know who doesn’t have to apologize for sounding rude? People who take the time to not sound rude. Intention and inflection are impossible to read, as is humor. Not everyone can devote the time to yoyo practice that you do, Rakleon. ---

Thanks you ebilflindas , yes i know that there’s some people who doesn’t have alots or maybe even don’t had times to practicing yoyo at all . But what i saying here’s is that my intentions was to make friends and helping other peoples out , not the opposite of it and surely that you can understand that , right ? ---
