"I took this idea here, it's called Eli Hops, and I stole it, see. Then I made this new trick, it's all new, I call it Two Eli Hops."


This idea is pretty simple. You take some element you're working with, then do it twice. Double layers, double string segments, double rotations, double anything. You somehow incorporate the idea of adding an iteration to it, which can accomplish any or all of the following:

  • Make the trick harder
  • Make the trick more yabai
  • Enter or enable a different mount or maneuvers
  • Confuse the audience
