I just figured it out :joy:
Itās sort of a rejection. If you make a really lame attempt at a pop, and the loop is still there and just big enough, like where it can also do an accidental bind like in your case, if the back half of the loop is rejected/pulled around the yo-yo, it creates a knot all on its own.

Got titanium chopsticks down pretty well for a single pass, but a wise person with many more internet points than me once said that a repeater is not a repeater unless you do it at least three times, so I guess Iām still working on that.
Serpentine is almost perfected, but I lose so much spin on it that I canāt figure out where to place it in a combo.
WHY CANāT I GHOST BIND?! I throw the jojo across my face, whip the string into the gap from the top, and even when I can hear a distinct _snap_ from the string like in a bind, it never comes back to my hand! Severl different jojos with several different strings.

That doesnāt sound like a ghost bind š
With a ghost bind you swing the slack behind the yo-yo, and without causing the slack to keep swinging around, you make a little loop around the yo-yo as itās hanging in the air. The yo-yo drops into the loop and does a slack bind as it falls.

I think my problem is that I am doing it too aggressively, because what youāre describing is way more chill than the flailing about that Iāve been doing, lol. Gotta watch the Tyler Severance video on it again. I only paid half attention to the youtube preview without actually opening the link and watching it š¬

Thereās a better ghost bind video than the Tyler Severance oneāitās much more clear about how it works. I can PM you a link if you want.

Just try to whip the maximum amount of string you can into the yoyo.

I mean, when you whip it place your throwhand near the gap of the yoyo so a lot of string gets into the gap. Then, when you have got it perfected that way it is way easier to control it

Working on some fun ones!
- **Kamikaze** (SOOOO close!)
- **Revolutions** (get it right sometimesā¦)
- **Suicides** (meh. this is one of those things I feel will take me forever to get consistant)
- **Jackās Slack** ([video](https://youtu.be/f9Xl_1XucF8)) (can do the slack + gyroā¦but donāt have a fancy dismount for it yet)
- **Hidemasa Hook** (just landed my first 2 tonight!!)
- **Black Hops** (VERY close to getting this one down too!)
- **Snap Starts** (can do itā¦but my spins still arenāt super powerful yet)
- **Ghost Bind** (getting more and more consistent with this one!)
Plus a bunch of other stuff.
Iāve really stepped up my practices this week and have been having a blast doing so!

Some good ones there for sure. Hooks and lacerations in general can be some of the harder ones sometimes as they are less step by step and more based on feel.

I strung up my Colossus 4 tonight with a short string for my 5 year old. This kiddo hit several clean binds, AND learned trapeze and his brother mount.

Trying to combine some slack stuff I do habitually into an actual trick. Iāve mentioned this before but my yoyoing is in the style of Markmontās fully freestyle stuff, so I do the occasional awesome trick but then canāt always reproduce it. A lot of what I get from trick tutorials apart from learning a new trick is a new element to include in my freestyle stuff, so I can approach a familiar situation with new ways to transition out.

I know I way behind on this, but I donāt think I saw anyone else give this tip for kwijibo. When you do the second pop into double or nothing, have your non throw hand palm facing up or inward rather than down. This helps with keeping your strings far apart. It allows the inner string to wrap patially around your hand while the outer string will be on you finger. I find with this technique it is very easy and you can even do the whole trick starting in double or nothing and going to triple. If what I tried to explain makes no sense I can do a video.
