About this trick
The name "e57" is short for "episode 57," which was the final episode of String Burn Live.  This trick is a tribute to SBL to show my appreciation for all they did for the community.

Although this trick is fairly choppy on paper, you can get it looking pretty stinkin' smooth.  If you're having trouble with the final backward Green Triangle move , perhaps try opening up the loop with your freehand thumb as you're landing.

Ya it is a shame that SBL is gone, I love watching the old episodes, was dissapointed when I learned it was no longer in production.
Be a while before I attempt this one lol, but it looks real sweeet and smooth Kyle, nice tribute.

Yeah, it really was a fun show. I was actually a bit shocked it ended, because I had missed it for a couple weeks and only got to see part of the last episode. When I was watching it, I didn't even know it _was_ the last episode until weeks later.

Thanks man, good luck when you do decide to take a crack at it.

I'm working on learning it right now. Fortunately enough, the trick is made up of several elements that I don't struggle too much with, so it's going well.

BTW What throw are you using?

Great tutorial! I just have a problem with the part after the Double or nothing. Do you have any tips on cheating or simplifying on that part to the tringle bounce ?

hahaha yeah Dylan. Just between you and me though, it's also a "phew I finally got a good take" smile. lol

Rommel, I assume you're talking about the slack part.
I really can't think of anything truly helpful to say besides the standard answer, "Make sure you have neutral string tension." Perhaps try learning the very ending part of Meshillemoth. That move is very similar to this one, but it's a bit larger and easier to control. It could help you become comfortable with the move. Good luck man.

I'm having problems with the pop.
I can't get it to unmount properly, do you have any tips?

The first pop or the second? I'll assume you're referring to the second, the upside-down Green Triangle pop dismount.

When you pop it up into the string and the upside-down GT appears, sort of make the yoyo also shoot away from you as it pops up. It's just a slight movement, but that allows it to miss the string as it's coming back straight down. Other than that... just practice.

Good luck dude. Let me know if that helps (or if I guessed what pop you meant incorrectly).

I meant the first pop:) But I'm sure the tip will be good when I come to it!

Oh... the first pop, of course. lol

If you want to better understand what's going on, practice this: first unwrap the yoyo by moving your throwhand clockwise around it. Then dismount the yoyo by crossing your freehand to the right below the yoyo. That's all that's happening in the pop dismount move. When you understand it, just add a pop to the beginning and do both of the hand movements at the same time.

Let me know how it goes! haha
