Yeah I saw your point and idea but then I was like nah cuz I don’t wanna practice intentionally missing 1.5 hooks and have that be a bad habit forever lol. I think it’s just awkward being so used to a regular hook that it’s gonna take some time getting used to is all. Putting my th in there while it’s happening is what’s not clicking yet ---

got comfortable with flopsicle, really looks cool as a trick ender. started working on lotus bloom yesterday from the TaW thread. i am starting to understand it mechanically, piece by piece but not with any kind of flow yet. gonna take a while for me to get the technique to just chuck that first underpass before the boingey move with the required twist at my offhand index and middle… this will take me a month not a week so i haven’t picked alot of tricks from that thread, lol… i still need to tighten up the last bit of kamikaze as well, i don’t like that little twirly fake 1.5 mount move at the end because its tricky and I’m impatient, so i usually skip it and just freestyle from there… i started picking at white buddah again but i’m still way behind. i need to practice it more often. learned the first part of yukii slack ( the jump to double or nothing). i like it as a slick way to get into double or nothing. as far as executing the rest of yukiii slack, its gonna take a long time for me to figure out the rest of it… learned a double ripcord from houdini mount trick. ---

Me too, me too, still working on yuuki. It was so frustrating at first. I put it on the back burner and just work on it a little everyday now. I also been working on and wut at the jump rope part. Here’s a really cool slack trick I learned the other day.

I am still in string trick infancy. I’m looking for a suggestion of a trick to add. I’ve gotten pretty solid with Trapeze and Brother, back to Trapeze then Double Trapeze and return. What is a simple trick I can add from anywhere in that sequence? I’ve not gotten Double or Nothing except by sheer luck and continue to work on that. I’ve also worked on finger grind as it fits in to there as well. I have motor control issues and am a long way from multi step tricks but would like something that could help to continue to develop the foundational skills to advance. Thanks to all. ---

you know trapeze brother so i would say brother slack would be a good next step… also once you get double or nothing down, learn the matrix ,and also work on triple or nothing. . also, you can rock the baby on the trapeze too. check out this little combo you can do with some of those tricks once you are comfortable: > [@Yoyo Trick Tutorial - Matrix Brother Slack](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/yoyo-trick-tutorial-matrix-brother-slack/368233): > > This week’s tutorial!

You could add a double on to the brother also fully responsive correct? ---

Mostly responsive, yes. But I practice unresponsive as well. Just lean more responsive. ---

I’ve found that The Snack modded for responsive play does these sorts of tricks amazingly. It’s rare for it to snag but it still returns very reliably. Just lacks the spin time of full unresponsive. However I have an unresponsive Snack as well. 😁 ---

Okay responsive play is good while you get comfortable with DoN and moving around the mounts but you don’t have to if you feel good binding, just helps not develop some early bad habits that will be annoying to change later (this happened to me). I would maybe try to learn DoN and Houdini mount and the other named mounts next maybe. ---

Actually pulled out the Top Deck for this. I’ve got the gist of it, just gotta work on getting that slack to stay open. Since I like the look of slack tricks this will be excellent training. Great suggestions, thanks a ton!!!😃 ---

I’ve caught the slack several times but I get stuck there. Haven’t been able to determine how to proceed before the yo-yo goes off plane. But as long as I’m catching it I can move forward. It’s fun to try something new. 🥰 ---

Was going to post matrix as well, I feel like it’s a barrier trick that opens up a lot of other concepts when you’re beginning. Skin the gerbil is another cool looking but simple motion! @Slestak75 ---

I’m catching the Slack Brother fairly regularly. I’ve not gotten the dismounts in the video as yet but I’ve been working on my own dismounts. Mild brain damage causes me to lose track of everything if I don’t have some sort of muscle memory or idea of where to go but I’ll get there. Learning something new isn’t impossible, just impossibly difficult. I’ve even been doing well with my Deep State on this one. I’ll continue with the recommendations made here and thank those who made them. It’s been fun adding something new. ---
