In this video I am going to teach you two tricks: Milk the Cow and Cattle Crossing.
They are very similar. In both tricks all you are really doing is hop the fence with
two hands. This is Milk the Cow. For Cattle Crossing all you are going to do is take the
yoyos and cross the strings, just like this. Really, if you have seen the tricks you kind
of already understand what to do. I’ll give you a couple of tips that will make the trick
a little bit easier to learn. If you have already been learning your two-handed looping
tricks, then the lessons you learned there apply here. Just like with two-handed looping
it might be a little bit easier to start with two yoyos at the same time. Eventually you
want to alternate them. The same thing is true when you do Milk the
Cow. It might be easier for you to start with two at a time. Eventually, you really just
want to get into alternating them, because this is how the trick is properly done.
To get into Cattle Crossing, what you are actually going to do is you are going to angle
the yoyos in, just like this. What that will allow you to do is to cross the strings, just
like you saw. You want to make sure that you have the alternating loops down really well
before you start trying this. You also want to make sure that you have the angled loop
down pretty well too. That can be, actually, pretty challenging to learn, and to do really
well. Once you’ve got that you are ready to learn
Cattle Crossing. What I like to do, is, instead of going right into it - even though you can
- I usually start with Milk the Cow. That allow me to get the yoyos under control a
little bit, and then I can start slowly easing them in, so that I can cross them; just like
this. You want to make sure that your hands are
actually close enough together so that when when you are doing the trick actually do cross.
Otherwise, if they are too far apart then it won’t look like the strings are crossing
and it will just look like Milk the Cow. Anyway, once you get it, just keep working
on it. Like I said, that angled loop can be pretty challenging to learn, but once you
get over that they are pretty great tricks, and a good addition to your two-handed yoyoing.
So that is Milk the Cow and Cattle Crossing.
