Eli Hops Video Tutorial
- Learn Eli Hops yo-yo trick from pro yoyo player Ann Bubak
How To Do Eli Hops
- Always touching the string
- You’ll start with Trapeze. Then when you perform the hops, you want to make sure your non-throw hand index finger is always touching the string.
- Control the height
- As you hop the yoyo off the string, you can control the height of each hop with your non-throw hand, guiding it along the string. And the closer your hands are together with each hop, the higher it will be.
- Repeat and bind
- Repeat the hops as many times as you like, then do the Sidestyle bind to get the yoyo back to your hand.
Tips
- Shoot the yoyo up with non throw hand
- Move hands together to maximise the height
- Your hands should touch
- Land the yoyo back by pulling hands apart
- Push on a string with your non throw hand to bring yoyo back on Trapeze
Most Common Mistakes
- Not moving your hands together
- Yoyo moving only few centimeters up
- Yoyo does not land on Trapeze but falls down
