Who has gotten Circular Elihops down?

[Sol vs Terry]

Yo guys, I was wondering who has successfully done  Ando's Circular Elihops.

 Im trying to learn it, but Im having trouble getting fully upside down......

me

[Megadave]

pics or it didn't happen

Would you please show if possible a vid (maybe in slowmo?) to the community?

Ty in advance.

I honestly don't believe this is one of those tricks that needs slo mo breakdowns. Maybe some good tips, but definitely not a breakdown.

[Sol vs Terry]

Yeah I dont think that a slow mo breakdown would help. You have to know when to turn your body, and how to do eli hops really well.

i can get completely vertical but i have trouble coming back around

[Palli]

Meh, It's just one of those tricks you have to practice a lot to get down.
The main thing I had the most problem with was getting used to the timing how to turn the body and bend your back while doing the hops.

I'm working on it... i love tricks that are easy to comprehend, but hard to do, so i really want to get circular elihops down... such an awesome trick...

[Elephark]

do I keep my left pointer pointing forward throughout the entire trick or do i need to bend my hand/finger back once i start turning (like you would in behind the arm eli hops?)?

You keep it pointing forward. The hops themselves aren't changing other than going higher and higher and higher and so high that they come back around.

Nah, I studied the video a bit more. The hops never really change, but as your turning your body your hand will eventually be pointing backwards after your body makes half of the revolution. pause andos new video right at 40 seconds, you'll see what i mean...

[Elephark]

He relaxes and curls his finger and bends his wrist, but in basic terms it's pointing forward (at the camera) the whole time. As a unit, the eli hops only turn on one axis. I'm not sure what you mean if you mean anything else.

[hcjesse]

He relaxes and curls his finger and bends his wrist,

I was asking whether he did that or not during the trick^

 ... anyways I studied the video and have been practicing the trick for the past few hours and I can do the trick now, now I just need to smooth it out some, and focus on accentuating the body motions a little more...

[Sol vs Terry]

^Nice....Yeah, I need to land like the last three upside down elihops as I am coming around the circle......Gah almost there

[alltimephail]

theyre pretty easy, once you get upside down the concept changes.

[Quiet015]

Is there a video or a link to the video that shows what the circular Eli Hops looks like?

[Elephark]

Yeah, it's here.

[gee_]

almost got it, hardest part for me was how far you have to bend your back..

Wow I just checked out that video and figured it out in a few minutes but the trick is soo much fun. It is such a smooth trick.

I've tried a couple times, didn't get too far. I'll get it one day though.
