[@johnd9357]

"Isn't as difficult as you may think" Me: Have tried it at least 500 times and not landed it once.

[@ev6466]

same.

[@PapaMom-p2z]

SAMEEE

[@DvNZBRCL]

Nah it's pretty easy compared to Meta tricks lol

[@OnTheEast]

Me

[@XxENEMExX]

this tutorial helped so much more than others for some reason, so helpful I LEARNED IT BECAUSE OF YOU GUYS

[@yotricks]

Awesome!

[@carazy123_]

Everyone’s saying that it’s not explained well, but it seems to make sense to me. Just watch the vid and slow it down even more if you’re still confused lol

[@bensim6471]

This trick is a lot harder than it looks cuz i cant figure it out

[@parthoroy5044]

Yeah

[@imhellag]

LOL good luck to you guys trying to learn this from a vid.

[@hverdagen8429]

imhellag got any advise? I can’t create that hook at the beginning

[@ethanwong406]

This trick was actually quite easy to learn!

[@nrreno]

how

[@jasonnong3305]

I hit my first yuuki slack! This is the first slack trick I learnt and at first I was thinking that there was no way I can move the slack like that. But idk what happened I just kept doing it until the yoyo hit the string, I spun it twice and caught the slack in a panic. The hardest part was probably getting the yoyo to to hit the underside of the string, so I kept seinging it until it felt natural. Thank you for the help

[@jbtheman]

It's sick how good this guy is at hitting it in his sleep. That said it's a good tutorial, I started getting the hang of it within a couple weeks. Very Fun Trick!

[@azzeon]

Turn the speed down to 0.5. Hilarious!

[@reaperswrath7617]

Got it to .05 and still cant get it..tried on wa shutter and edge ult. with several strings brands....cant get slack or whips and ya, string is neutral..next thing I'm trying is recording myself to see wtf is happening lol

[@jonathanmar4078]

Thank you yotricks for giving awesome tricks like this one

[@yotricks]

:D You're welcome!

[@candymt101]

Im having trouble with the 2nd part when after you do the first slack and land in the double or nothing I seem to not have enough string to start the repeating part

[@jeremykelley6733]

I had the same problem.i just made my string a little bit longer than normal and it seemed to help me

[@muhammadamsyar1939]

Damn... he's such a badass

[@theveganbiker9204]

BRO YOU ARE GOOD

[@sacredcow61]

This. Trick. Is. HARDD!!!!!

[@tzechi]

Is it possible to learn this directly after learning Double Or Nothing? Also, what are some good tricks to get started off on slack tricks?

[@yotricks]

Yes. yoyotricks.com/tag/slack-string/

[@Anonymous-mz4fn]

This trick is actually lot harder than it look. I can do double or nothing and even triple but I am finding hard to rotate the yo yo from my left hand after pinching.

[@blowmonkey51]

Is this trick made, named or created by 07 worlds champ Yuuki Spencer?

[@tylerrobinson5231]

Wow! This is easier than i thought it would be!

[@camelcase9225]

That's actually a sick way to get into double or nothing too

[@SodaFountainJoy]

First! Haha. Nice tutorial guys. It was cool to get to talk to Adam at PNWR. Hope to see him at Nationals!

[@yotricks]

I am hoping to be there. You'll have to show me your 2A development when I see you :D

[@SodaFountainJoy]

yotricks hahaha that would be funny xD

[@fitboarder2246]

So glad I found you guys. Have added quite a few tricks to my bag because of your videos. Expertvillage does not even compare! Too bad for me I clicked on his video a few weeks ago instead of yours lol! Keep up the good work!

[@yotricks]

Thanks!

[@figjuice8957]

I can’t do that first slack, it hits my hand, or the slack goes all over the place

[@waelmukhtar3809]

day 3 after watching this video and practicing maybe 1.5 - 2 hours per day. just landed both parts of the trick. It works if you focus more on not putting the throw hand where its not supposed to be. you have to be quick to catch the first slack like he says or you will get an undermount and yoyo might snag up on you. second part of going back to the double or nothing is probably the hardest part. CUT THE DUDE SOME SLACK HE ACTUALLY TAUGHT IT WELL. look up dylan's video about it and you might get it.

[@waelmukhtar3809]

day 5 and im hitting it like butter. easy to learn with heavier yoyo

[@Trippsy05]

I learned Brent stole and hidemasa hook in a couple days so this shouldn't be out of the realm of possibility for me.

[@Trippsy05]

started learning it today. got the mechanics down in an hour or two just gotta work on catching the slack and flowing with the trick better. its sad to see all the comments saying it doesnt work or they cant do it, either I learn fast or this is out of their current capabilities.

[@clyburncooke941]

i think i made a new trick i did the 2 spins and then landed it into a gyrspohic flop

[@haydeno.9004]

Is this trick named after Yuuki Spencer?

[@yotricks]

Sir Geeksalot Indeed.

[@haydeno.9004]

+yotricks Cool!

[@haydeno.9004]

+yotricks Can you help me? I cannot make the first slack:( Oh, by the way you guys are the best yoyo teaching channel ever!!!:)

[@yotricks]

Are you bringing your hands together a little after you pinch the string but before you swing the yoyo around?

[@haydeno.9004]

+yotricks I don't know, but I will try, and thank you:)

[@lordmamon4566]

ok, this is much harder than I think tbh 😆 hook 1.0 looks hard, but it is easy af😅 I wonder if someone still learning this in 2023 🤔😂

[@j_music_8779]

Hi 👋

[@Schpritz]

Currently watching it, will try to learn tomorrow haha, just saw your comment live, and it seems I'm not the only one

[@yoyocoaster9483]

for anyone who has a prob learning this thing, stop ur yoyo spinning and understand how u should get the double or nothing after step one so be trying the motion and u should probably get it after 1hr or so

[@arecus54]

Yeap. 8 years later, i still cant get this trick

[@EpicGamesNAdventures]

I really cannot get the slack around in the start. Should my hands be close to each other?

[@yotricks]

Your hands should be close. Also, try adjusting how close you pinch the string to the yoyo and how big you swing the yoyo around.

[@Yooo2626]

Mas cara mengeraskan yoyo bagaimana

[@trichas4404]

Okta Dwi P mksdnya gimana bro??

[@nateattinello1464]

I somehow get the 3rd slack part to flow and form better than the 2nd... weird. For anyone struggling with getting that 2nd slack part, I found that not stopping like he does at 1:02 got it working better. Like, skipping through that stopping point at 1:02 and just going into the rotation to get the slack going helped. If that makes sense haha

[@jaden7323]

You guys should invite Ann Connolly to teach yoyo tricks after Evan

[@yotricks]

Already done.

When are you guys going to do horizontal tricks? You said that they were going to be out in january

[@yotricks]

Sometimes things take longer than we expect.

[@danielsalas4171]

Was this trick hard for you at first

[@skyp1erc3r]

how the heck do you get the second slack to show up?

[@NexGenRogue]

Why do you guys not post more videos?I like the idea of one a week but when it's a trick out of my skill level or in a style I'm bored of I have to wait another week. Why don't you guys do one a week for every style? Is it the time it takes to edit and record, or you don' have enough tricks?

[@yotricks]

It is a time thing, it is just not feasible to release more videos than we currently release and run the rest of the business at the same time. That is just where we are right now. In the future, if the videos and the website becomes more and more successful, we will be able to get more help, which would allow us to produce more videos more quickly.

[@yoyostudio_us]

I like it!!!!

[@moodyJules]

I can get the first slack whip into a double or nothing, but I can't seem to get the slack to form from the undermount after that.

[@yotricks]

Make sure to keep your hands close together.

[@chqrizard_]

1:03 when i try to pop the yoyo off and hit the string above it, I keep missing the string by a lot, i think i might be positioning my hands wrong, any tips?

[@ciranatkins7930]

So I have a Shutter and can do some tricks but I can't seem to do alot of your tricks your tutorials are very speedy and I have problems with some tricks like the Gyroscopic Flop my yoyo hand string always goes in between double loop.... Do you have any suggestions for me?

[@dragonxto1052]

I was going to do a future diary joke 🙃😑

[@NickForDays]

yuuki!

[@symmetry6320]

How in the magicyoyo string tension

[@gogdrood6228]

I know this trick is really not difficult in terms of hand movement, but I have really hard time with the slack travelling around my nth, 9 times out of 10, it just stays on my non throw forearm while i pinwheel (i pay attention not to release the pinch) Any kind of advice ? :) Do the moment where you let go the string with your th import a lot?

[@YoDeNN]

Same!!!!!!!

[@fiammiferaio95]

Do you know the proper length of the string for slack tricks?

[@jakewalsa679]

At 1:11 when you hit the string to get the slack its hard because when I do it the slack would loose its shape and not carrie on what can I do!!

[@yotricks]

The key is to keep the yoyo moving after it hits the string. Other than that I am not sure what other tips might help.

[@caligreen3582]

What length should the string length be? I'm using the belly button method for length but it seems short when I try to do slack tricks.

[@ChrisP576]

Please do a tutorial on ladder escape, I have tried every video i could find and I bet that one from you would bring this trick into reach for me.

[@yotricks]

It's in the works.

[@ChrisP576]

Really? Thanks, much appreciated!

[@candymt101]

Im stuck on the repeater part after the first slack I dont have enough string to start the second and third slacks

[@yotricks]

Most likely you need to pinch the string a little further away from the yoyo on the beginning of the trick.

[@alisonbowers6579]

is their any good place to yoyo or to learn how to yoyo.

[@yotricks]

yoyotricks.com

[@Happychomps]

my head hurts so much after listening to this

[@Jrod123999]

Im wondering what yo-yos you use for these videos and if u guys can plz do some more reveiws on the youtube channel but i love all the rest and my friend got me back into yo-yoing cause i started and stopped and started and stopped when i was a kid so i would love to know how good and which yoyo to get that is right for me. Thanks😄😄

[@yotricks]

The yoyo in this video is the Civility, which we carry on yoyotricks.com. We are planning to make more yoyo reviews, but in the mean time I suggest you read our descriptions of the yoyos we sell on our website. They are all like mini reviews to help customers figure out what yoyo is right for them.

[@bd0310]

i had trouble with the first part then, i realized that i could go into a under or nothing and it set me up for the second part of the trick

[@nolanlu8939]

I figure it out but I don't understand why does the rope always wrap on my finger...

[@yotricks]

Nolan Lu Which finger, and during which part?

[@constipatedduck2455]

i can't catch the slack while spinning

[@MrXDarkEagle]

I have a few questions for you guys, if you would please answer them. 1. Would I be able to use the civility in a video? as in a review 2. Where is the shipping, or manufacturing company located? I can't find it on the website anywhere and my civility is taking forever to arrive. If you could answer those I would greatly appreciate it.

[@yotricks]

You can use the Civility in a video. If you contact us through the contact page on YoYoTricks.com I will look up your order and see why it is taking longer than usual.

[@AeschylusRust]

Ok so I got the truck down but mine doesn’t look as flashy as yours

[@yotricks]

The flash comes with practice. You'll be there before you know it!

[@airflight767]

My sage yoyo is getting here tomorrow! Is everything already set up or do i have to lube it first? Thanks

[@yotricks]

It is all setup for responsive play. So if you want it for unresponsive, you will need to switch the bearing. For responsive play I lube the bearing every time I change the string, for unresponsive play I only lube the bearing when it starts to make more noise than usual.

[@airflight767]

OK, thanks

[@danap7279]

Awesome

[@alisonbowers6579]

my shutters respone pads popped out and now it wont fit back in because its is stretched out what should i do

[@yotricks]

Those pads are replaceable. Most companies that sell the Shutter will also sell replacement pads.

[@re-connecting2770]

the strings twist around my finger in the third step, making this trick difficult. should I maintain the pinch throughout the whole trick?

[@yotricks]

You should bend your fingers in so the twist happens in front of your finger, not around it.

[@EpicGamesNAdventures]

What tricks do you guys suggest to learn to impress the audience. I really want to impress people watching me, i prefer if the trick isn't too difficult, but I am fine if it is.

[@yotricks]

Have you learned boingy-boing and gyroscopic flop? kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIe4Yombm91jaLc kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6nKoaJrrcaMZq8

[@EpicGamesNAdventures]

I've pretty much learnt both.

[@yotricks]

How about Kwyjibo? kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHaTY3Wco5mfrsk

[@EpicGamesNAdventures]

I'm currently working on it. What should I do after.

[@yotricks]

Finger Spins. Do you have a yoyo that does that? kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaO9YquZepVoetk

[@KeefeFonseka]

i just got my civility thanks for the quick shipping. the yoyo came but is it already lubed? should I keep that wrap on the bearing or just wrap it around once/?

[@yotricks]

The string should only be looped around the axle once. If it is wrapped more than that, it was a mistake. The bearing is not lubed.

[@twitchster77]

I feel like every time this guy says "this trick isn't as difficult as it looks"...it's definitely going to be more difficult then it looks.

[@alisonbowers6579]

also can you give the grind machine a rating from 1 to 10 compared to every other 1a yoyo you have

[@yotricks]

I would say it falls right in the middle of the pack of our unresponsive yoyos.

[@vhs1894]

I ordered the Metal Drifter Unresponsive Kit four days ago now, and the tracking for the package has said "Shipment Information Received" and "Pre-Shipment" since day one. This is pretty frustrating. I'd like to know what is happening with my package, if it has shipped, and where it currently resides.

[@yotricks]

Something has been happening with the post offices around here where the tracking is not being updated until the package is half way to its destination. It looks like your tracking information has been updated now, however, and it is on the move.

[@pikachuniverse116]

I'm a pretty advanced yoyoer and can do many other slack tricks but I can't seem to get the slack to catch. Any tips?

[@yotricks]

Pikachuniverse What do you mean by "slack to catch"?

[@nicholaskasper4570]

When I do this trick, I sorta use my throw hand to help whip the string around my nonthrow hand. Is this bad or good?

[@yotricks]

That is fine.

[@KeefeFonseka]

I lubed my yoyo will it eventually become unresponsive after playing with it

[@yotricks]

If you lubed it with thin yoyo lube it should become unresponsive eventually.

[@KeefeFonseka]

yotricks but I first lubed it with yomega brain lube, then thin lube, so will it eventually turn unresponsive? If yes how long does it take

[@yotricks]

If you lubed it with Brain Lube first you may need to clean the bearing if it does not become unresponsive. What I suggest you try before cleaning it is flooding the bearing with thin lube and then play with the yoyo for about an hour or so. That may flush out the Brain lube enough to make the yoyo unresponsive.

[@sugamalia1456]

Thanks :)

[@tzechi]

When i attempt the first slack, 2 of the strings createa kink.

[@yotricks]

It sounds like you are pulling the string through the loop.

[@tzechi]

Em, don't really understand that

[@sugamalia1456]

How long would it take to ship a one drop gradient to Schaumburg Illinois?

[@yotricks]

Drummer Boy 3-5 days.

[@joey62006]

will there be more colors for the civility yoyo

[@yotricks]

+Mrglaze34 I believe the next run will have at least one new color.

[@lukerussell7245]

Do you think the Werrd Minute is worth the price?

[@yotricks]

Luke Russell We do. If we didn't we would not sell it. What would make you think it would not be worth the price?

[@lukerussell7245]

yotricks​ Under sized. Not a huge fan of them. But if you suggest them then i will try it out. 😊

[@yotricks]

If you do not like undersized then chances are you will not like the Minute. We like it because it is the best playing undersized yoyo we have tried, and it has many of the qualities of a full sized yoyo while retaining the benefits of an undersized throw.

[@lukerussell7245]

yotricks​ okay, thanks.

[@ThickUP]

Hey yotricks, love your videos! Quick question, how do you get your string tension to be neutral? Even when I'm using a brand new string, it seems to twist around itself.

[@yotricks]

Hiccup TheVast We have a video about that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2LRn3SVaqZkZqs

[@ThickUP]

yotricks Thanks! I will check it out :)

[@jonahrosenberg4335]

You could also dip it in turpintine.

[@mrsevn777]

Its been years and I still can't do it lol

[@BeNuKeD3D2]

I'm confused.When connor pinches the yoyo its wrapped around his index finger but when I try it it doesn't work.Why does this happen?

[@yotricks]

Which part of the trick are you referring to?

[@BeNuKeD3D2]

yotricks There some parts. 1)when I pinch to form the double or nothing how is my index finger supposed to be?I mean like the position. 2)The second part when the slack starts to form it feels supper awkard to control the yoyo. In other words is there another way to pinch the yoyo so that the trick is able to be executed?Thanks for answering it means alot.

[@yotricks]

Unfortunately, I am not sure I can help much. The way we do it in the video, I think, is that when you pinch the string the rest of the string will kind of fall in front of the pinch so it is not actually around your fingers.

[@BeNuKeD3D2]

yotricks Ok thanks I will find a way to solve the trick.I have other questions I would like you to answer,if you don't mind. 1)Have you ever tried the bi metal shift?I have one and it's really neat.It's similar to the bi-metal superstar 2)I bought a jackknife yoyo and I wanted to know if the cup for finger spins is like the one on the horizon or atlas.In other words,does youre finger centers in the yoyo and does not orbit like in most of the yoyos? 3)Will you be doing more 4a tutorials in the future?

[@yotricks]

1. I have not tried that yoyo. 2. The Atlas has a finger centering design, the Horizon does not (at least not like the JacKnife. 3. Yes.

[@russcarol1na516]

do you think i should use a dv888 yoyo in a advanced yoyo competition

[@drakefaudel4826]

taurus ceaser no. the dv888 comes responsive and even if you convert it to unresponsive it still lacks the spin time and features required to execute the long technical combos used in advanced competitions.

[@Scorpion_Master]

Can I get a free civility yoyo. I really want to get into more advanced tricks, and I think that the civility yoyo is my best option.

[@madpinoy5683]

Scorpion Master There are affordable yoyo's out there. Skyva, Replay Pro, even the Protostar is on sale for $20 on one online yoyo store. But your best bet is getting a Sage unresponsive pack from the Yoyo tricks store.

[@drakefaudel4826]

Scorpion Master if we could just ask for a free 80 dollar yoyo and get one, what is the point of money

[@noorliatiuly3263]

Civility is still available at your store?

[@yotricks]

noorliati uly We are currently sold out.

[@KeefeFonseka]

When are u gonna teach grinds?

[@yotricks]

We have a video where we introduce grinds, and we will be teaching more soon. Grind Yoyo Trick Introduction - Finger Grinds 1A Yoyo Trick

[@josefplny9347]

Hi, I'm using 106 cm long strings and for some of those tricks it looks like it is too short. Or it's not and i need just more practice. But i wonder, what string lenght are being most time used for those kind of tricks. What string lenght do you use? :)

[@yotricks]

Joe Full The string in this video is under 100 cm

[@josefplny9347]

yotricks Thank you for your response. :)

[@Pandaman1112]

Do you have to have an unresponsive yoyo for this trick? I have the Sage yoyo

[@yotricks]

You do not have to have an unresponsive yoyo to do this trick, but it will be much easier to learn on an unresponsive yoyo.

[@AnAustin22]

Also, I accidentally used thin lube on my sage. Will this damage it at all? Will the functionality change?

[@yotricks]

The Thin Lube might cause the yoyo to play less responsive. But if it has not been a problem yet, you should be okay.

[@dalainawillis507]

The tutorial does not work I’m doing what he’s doing it’s not working

[@asoggyfooton2588]

i cant get enough momentum to swing the slack, can i get any help plz?

[@yotricks]

Move your whole hand around with the slack and not just your wrist.

[@spaceqgamingspaceqgaming2202]

I reely need help of Wich yoyo I should use for this tricks. Is a dragonfly yoyo good

[@yotricks]

bestgamer bestgamerevr The Dragonfly is a fine yoyo for this trick. We also would recommend the Sage. yoyotricks.com/yoyo-store/yotricks/the-sage-yoyo-pro-pack/

[@spaceqgamingspaceqgaming2202]

Thx

[@clyburncooke941]

when i do the 1st 2 spins the yoyo decides to die out of spin do i need to throw harder or straighter? ( I understand what to do but i panic.)

[@orinthian]

both will make it spin longer, also make sure the string isn't touching the sides of the yoyo too much

[@kelvinquah9203]

The slack doesn't form for the first part of the repeating portion of the trick

[@yotricks]

+Kelvin Quah Bring your hands together.

[@thiennguyen-iu9rq]

yeah, yotrick publish a video tutorial horizontal throwing trick, and then publish a message back to me

[@yotricks]

You will just have to keep checking our channel to see when we post those tricks.

[@yutainoue4523]

Does the string size affect this trick?

[@yotricks]

yuta inoue Thicker string may make the trick easier, but in general, no.

[@yutainoue4523]

Thanks. I'll try my best.

[@yutainoue4523]

Thanks for this video I finally got it.

[@yotricks]

Awesome! Glad to hear it.

[@jasonl1014]

Everytime I get in the under mount and try to swing it, there is no slack. Even if I land it on there, There's still no slack to catch.

[@yotricks]

+Jason FlashFire Are you letting go of the string?

[@jasonl1014]

I am. All the strings just collapse into a little trapeze when I do it. No matter how hard I pinch the string at the end.

[@yotricks]

If it goes into a trapeze it seems like you must be missing the slack on its way around.

[@dennislin7834]

tips on the second step? I cant seem to swing it properly. The slack wont form

[@yotricks]

Dennis Lin Are you pinching the string?

[@dennislin7834]

Yes I am

[@dennislin7834]

yotricks I think my string is too short

[@yotricks]

Dennis Lin Even with a tiny string the slack can form. To get the slack to form you need to bring your hands together before you swing it.

[@dennislin7834]

yotricks Ok ill try that

[@zamzam9140]

I'm having issues keeping my pinch on the string at 1:01. The pinch just deforms and i can't do anything from it.

[@yotricks]

As long as you can hold the pinch it should be okay if it deforms.

[@zamzam9140]

yotricks I'm having a hard time keeping ym pinch. I have to take a minute to switch my position and it still doesnt work out.

[@yotricks]

You need to allow it to be a little sloppy and uncomfortable, and just keep the motion going.

[@droppy3571]

yotricks i hve a too hot yoyo is it good?

[@yotricks]

azareil azman It is.

[@christopherrosado5440]

hello yotrick how to yoyo unresponsive when winding my system is o ring me if people of Vietnam please send me a yoyo without first northstar but not the only, thank yotrick

[@yotricks]

We show how to wind an unresponsive yoyo at the end of our bind video. Binding: Learn how to Bind an Unresponsive Yoyo

[@ethanw611]

please help! i've got the first swing into a double or nothing but i am having trouble making sure the yoyo aligns with the string! when i swing it over to do the first slack movement, it misses the string and i end up just doing a swing without the slack moving with it. please help! thank you

[@yotricks]

If you are swinging the yoyo inline with the groove of the yoyo, then all you need to do to ensure that you hit the proper string is move your yoyo hand either forward or backward to move the string into the yoyos path.

[@ethanw611]

thank you! also on the last swing, i can't catch the slack back to a double or nothing, my hand gets in the way and i don't know how to fix it

[@yotricks]

Which hand?

[@ethanw611]

my non throw hand, it will catch the slack and it won't swing over so my throw hand can catch it on the 2nd swing

[@yotricks]

you need to be swinging the yoyo in front of your hands.

[@faqihchannel9059]

Wow

[@zra925019]

Hi i recently got the yoyofactory DV888 as my first unresponsive yoyo but for some reason it's acting resonsive sometimes. Sometimes it'll be completely and perfectly unresponsive but sometimes it can be very responsive. What do I do to fix that? I wasn't sure whether thin lube makes it more responsive or less responsive. I'm trying to make it the most unresponsive I can. What should I do/use to fix it? Thanks

[@yotricks]

It may be two things. If there is too much string tension in the string it will cause the yoyo to be slightly responsive. If the yoyo is new the response pads may also need to be worn in a bit for it to be perfectly unresponsive. Lube may cause the bearing to play slightly responsive temporarily, but over time it will go back to normal.
