Since you’re right-handed, you can only do the pop when your right-hand is farther away from you. So, do 1/2 a revolution of mach 5 (or 1 and 1/2, or 2 and 1/2, you get the idea) and then do the pop. Your right hand finger should pass OVER your left hand finger on its way back to you.

The popping motion itself has a little in common with eli hops or boing e boing, so take a peek at those tricks as well.

Today I’m working on a trick called “Dr. Strange” I saw the tutorial on youtube by Andre and it looked like a fairly simple fun trick and I gotta say it might not be super hard but it is fun. :smiley:

Aside from just having fun with my general “trick bucket”, I’m working on getting classic Yuuki concepts down consistent. Right now, I’ve got it at about 50%

Ballistic and this crazy wrist mount combo by Shinnosuke Miyamoto as taught by mrmatio.

One-handed laceration style bind training prepared me for pocketing the normal lacerations, I love them both now!

Working on a tension hook. Ive stuck it a few times but me thinks a longer string would help a lot.

I’ve learned Charles’ instant double GT and I found a way to dismount where I can get a phat regent from so I’m working on that
