This is the Offstring Horizontal Boingy-Boing, and it looks like this.
You will notice I am wearing a glove. When you practice this trick for a certain amount
of time it ends up burning your fingers. You can get this glove at YoTricks.com, and I
recommend you wear it as you practice this trick.
One of the things that you are going to need to work on before working on the Horizontal
Boingy-Boing is to make sure you know the regular 1A Boingy-Boings, you are going to
want to know the 1A Over-Under Boingy-Boings, and you are also going to want to know the
Offstring Vertical Boingy-Boing. After learning those three tricks, then you can work on the
following.
What you are going to do to start, is you are just going to pass it under your non-dominant
hand, and just make the bouncing motion, like you would in the Over-Under. Just keep bouncing
it like this. Eventually, once you get the motion down, then try to make it go over the
top of your non-dominant hand. So just one bounce above the fingers. So you will notice
I am bouncing off the back string, like so, then practice hitting it off the front string
as well. Go over the top and hit the front string. Once you get used to both the back
and the front then try adding two repetitions, like so. After you keep doing that, you keep
building up your repetitions. Until you can do it indefinitely.
Another thing, actually, a few tips is to make sure that when you are doing it you want
it to be as close to your hand as possible. The reason is that it is hard to get it up
in the air and get it to bounce in this section of the string. It is going to want to be brought
down nearer your non-dominant hand. What you are actually going to do, is you are going
to get it as close to your non-dominant hand as possible on the boings. It is going to
be like you are aiming at your non-dominant hand and then you are just going to move your
non-dominant hand out of the way as it passes through to the other side. That is why both
hands are moving up and down continuously.
As you learn that, then try practicing letting it rise up into rising boingy-boings, like
so. Once you can hit that variation you have Horizontal Boingy-Boings down.
