plz more tutorials like this!!!

Not to be busting anyone's balls here, but Tressley had nothing to do with the creation of hugs as far as i know, and I'm pretty sure it involves wrapping the string around the yoyo, not the yoyo around the string.

I could be totally wrong though, and look like a douche right now. That would be awesome.

Adam B taught me the trick so I asked him for some insight on it; as far as I know Tressley had something to do with it so I figured it wouldn't hurt to give some credit than not.
As far as the technicality of exactly what a hug is; you may be right, I'm not exactly sure. All I know is how to do them and thats what this video shows.

Maybe someone who knows for sure can shed some light?

I know Tressley does them all the time, and he taught me them to. But they look nothing like that. He does that transition a lot, but as far as i know, i don't think that's a hug.


Still a legit transition though :).

I'm a bit late into this conversation, but I was always under the impression that what Andrew did is a hug. A type of hug, anyways. I always considered it a hug when it dismounted to the inside of the arm and then mounted back on a string. Hm...

I've been confused for some time as to what the trick "hugs" is. I've always used the Yonomicon definition of a hug, which is when you do front style tricks side style, you have to hug the trick. So it's not really a trick but something you do, I know people have been doing a type of trick they call hugs I just can't really figure out what they are and it seems a lot of people are confused by this as well. The tutorial look really good either way though.

Sorry, pretty sure thats not a hug. Craziest hug I've ever seen is the one that goes into a Spirit Bomb mount. Crazy trick.
Good tutorial of a nice trick non the less.
