Oh yeah. Buddha’s Revenge wasn’t too bad to learn at all. After playing around with Kwyjibo for several days the movements are similar in my mind. Got it in about 5 tries. Felt pretty good. So now it’s all about smoothing it up. I feel pretty good about Skin the Gerbil. It’s nice to learn some new tricks. I was in a slump there for a while.

Ok. There was a trick I tried to learn some time ago and can’t remember the name. It was a pretty simple trick where you have the yo-yo sitting on the strings stretched straight between your fingers. The yo-yo has sort of a tether to the string and you then bounce the yo-yo up and down on the string. I hope I made that clear enough that someone could tell me the name of this trick so I can give it another shot. Thanks guys.

On Superman right now. Have the whole trick pretty much down except for that last hop through the triangle. I’ve been on it for over a week now I’m still having so much trouble getting the yoyo back through the triangle for the last hop

It helps to get a swing towards your NTH to stretch the triangle a bit, like rocking the yoyo to swing it through the triangle.
Rancid Milk on my side, let’s go!

Yea trieng to get that triangle opened is hard… even with the yoyo still I have trouble opening it up… I’ll try swinging it towards my other to open it up I haven’t tried that

I think this is still the active thread?
I’m currently working on Beefhook and Ripcord Slack. I can’t land either… yet. I think a part of the problem is that I run hot and I practice in front of a fan, can make hooks and slack tricks a bit harder. I watched Jacob Gross’s & Brandon Vu’s video on it as well as one on the Skills Addict app. If anyone has some tips I’m all ears. I’ve only been at it a few days now. I got lucky and landed the ripcord hook once but I cannot land the Beefhook. It’s bit frustrating but I know it will be worth the effort one I finally start landing it.

Aight yeah so keep th index close to the yoyo. Follow it up and down like right next to the yoyo. When you release the string on nth index and pull with the thumb, pull towards yourself to open up the U shape and prevent the string from hitting its self. You want to do kinda like a quick tug w the thumb vs an extended long pull. Pull more if the slack is too slow or pull less hard if it’s going too fast. Keep hands closer together so the slack stays big and you don’t pull the string too far away so that it’s too small to catch the Yoyo. I think that’s all I got right now good luck yo
