Happy friday everyone 🙂

I was wondering if anyone could tell me the names for the tricks in this light switch angel2up video? Specifically the string hopping tricks and the slack tricks that he does, I am trying to learn them but struggling to find what they are called. Any help would be appreciated.

First trick is a Black Hops variation, then he goes into kamikaze slack with a reverse kamikaze slack, third trick is a ninja vanish, last is chopstick hops which are very close to Gentry Steins hops ( 2014 worlds, or most cali states he did them i think ). And all the tricks looked custom btw in a way so i explained the best I could
