    The dang string was nice to me on that one. A lot of the times, the string would choke the Ken from lunar to light. That time I was able to shamefully pull the string away. I stared at it hoping the force was strong with me to lift it off, but to no avail.

    I turn the ken in the opposite direction from lunar to lighthouse (pushing the tama forward). not sure, but that might help shed the string...

    Ahh I am so sorry! I didn't want to kick you out ;;_;;. When I did the trick I flipped from lunar to lighthouse by going outward and doing a full rotation. I am thinking the string caused issues because it was going inward?

    Hi guys! This is my combo inspired by @RodDama
    Combo is
    Swing nightingale (swing small bird)
    Swap to lunar
    Stunt plane fast hand
    End
    Tricks after aren't included. I think it is a bit harder than others, but short and really fun do :)
    @TheWickEffect @purekhaos @Dan Reinstein good luck guys!
    @Congarranza it was really close

    Love it, super excited to learn it. Question though, I'm not sure if I just don't know what things are called or if I'm missing something in the video, but as far as I can see you're swinging into bird. Isn't over the valley transitioning from big bird to small bird?

    I thought that bird on big cup is called bird and bird on small cup is called over the valley. Maybe i am wrong. I know there are also names like: small bird or nightingale. I will change it. @Congarranza @purekhaos

    I was literally about to ask the same. I am not prepared for all these fasthands! I'm only getting the swing in small bird 1/5 trys, then I'm getting stuck going to lunar.

    Even if I got it, the lunar stuntplane fast hand is stumping me.

    @purekhaos @Dan Reinstein
    Firstly, you have to use your legs to catch tama and cushion lunar. It is easier to change grip when you catch ken lower.
    About stunt plane fast hand, you have to catch tama from bird correctly to have nice grip to do stuntplane fasthand. Use your knees guys ;)

    I just got an LBB. What string length are you using for your setup. I've put a few different ones on, but can't seem to get passed the 2.5finger length. I was thinking at least 3, but wanting something like 4.

    LBB is the best!!! I have about 2.5 finger on the Viking and just over 3 on the LBB. I just held them side by side though and the strings are the same length lol.
