I also figured a natural progression from Brother would be to hop strings back and forth. This has been a fun challenge too. Also started learning Skin the Gerbil. All adding new elements that put new ideas in my head. ---

I just started working on candy rain the other day. What an interesting long trick. The first magic drop part has been tough to get consistently. I cant stand when the reject doesn’t happen and a floppy yoyo slams into my hand. Sometimes I find myself getting confused if I repeated a part because how similar the elements are and there is a repeater of sorts in the middle. This trick kinda reminds me of something like a harder version of rewind in terms of the technical skills it uses. I think it’s a good trick to learn to help get better at yoyoing. ---

I have seen this a million times. Still cannot get it. I have personally asked from Mike (throw lab channel) to make a tutorial and he kindy did. Still cannot hit it. Always end up with an axle knot. ---

Here is a slowmo video with an extra throw and easy bind at the end to show that the whip bind came out clean. Maybe it might help. Notice how I have the string over my TH index. I think that helps keep the string lined up properly. Mechanically, if you’re getting a knot, you must be throwing the laceration either too far forward or backwards and the entire loop has to stay lined up with the gap. A strong whip is needed to wrap the loop around the bearing enough to actually engage the response. I don’t have this super consistent but I’m not getting axle knots or missing terribly. The main problem that goes wrong when I miss, is that the string makes a good sound like it’s going to bind, but then slips so I still have work to do. Hope this helps good luck! ---

Oh and for the thread, I’ve been working on seasick. I felt how it should feel yesterday for a bit and thought I was starting to get it but I can’t find the rhythm today yet. Bah it’s a frustrating trick. ---

on that doc pop kick, i’m getting better at branding. found that if you just whip from 1.5 mount the extra wrap you normally avoid in the full trick puts the strings in a perfect spot to slide my throw hand thumb into the wrap, move from 1.5 into a double or nothing and then roll out into magic drop. i love finding the connectedness between different yoyo tricks. ---

I got it once today and twice yesterday thanks to you mate. I figured out what I was doing wrong but I still need to dial it in. Instead of making the first whip/loop in the space between me and the yoyo, I was making it above the yoyo resulting in a knot. Will practice the next few days to get it consistently. Thanks a lot! ---
