About this trick
There are quite a few elements to this one that require a little flare and style to look smooth and appealing.  Practice doing the whole trick in a flowing motion without dramatic breaks or pauses, and you should be able to get more
comfortable with it over time.

During the part of the trick where the yoyo swings behind and in front of your freehand arm, you should almost turn to the side to do it front-style instead of awkwardly remaining in side-style and trying to keep your arm out of the way.  It'll make it easier
on yourself.

Love this trick, but the first mount is tough with a full size yoyo

Actually man, you can totally do it with a full-sized. Just practice the move and other chopsticks-style tricks, and it'll be a snap sooner or later. I know for a while it seems as though undersized is easier, but after practice, you hardly notice the difference. I have actually had quite a bit of success doing chopsticks with a YYJ MaxiMo just to prove to myself that it was possible. You just gotta separate your FH index and thumb as much as possible and aim precisely. Good luck.

Any tips on how to keep the string from sliding towards your throwhand wrist on the initial mount. It makes the string gap really small and hard to mount.

I'm assuming you meant your freehand wrist. Just make sure to keep your freehand index finger parallel with the ground so that it doesn't have a tendency to slide one way or the other, up or down your finger.
