    im having trouble landing a basic pull up lunar to get me started into this type of trick. I would love to learn and get better at it, it would expand my trick list.

    Any pointers would be appreciated

    First of all, make sure the big cup is facing you. Then do a small pull up and try not to let the ken twist. Then just balance. Hope this helped!

    What helped me a lot when I was learning this trick was watching all the tutorials on YouTube, particularly the KUSA and Uriel Sanchez's video. Also there's another thread on this forum about lunars and everyone had great advice about the pull up and the twist of the ken.

    I start by Having the string hole on the ken face me and give the ken a slight twist. Once the big cup is facing me I pull up with my knees and cushion the cup with the tama right before it starts to fall back down. Hope this makes sense and good luck!
