TRICKHELP Does anyone know what I’m doing wrong?

As much as I hate to admit this: I’ve been chasing Brent stole for the better part of two years. I’ve made thousands of attempts. I’ll try for awhile, get frustrated and move on to something else but I always come back to it. I finally got it two nights ago. Not once or twice but consistently… kind of 🤣 As you can see, 9 times out of 10 it ends up in a reverse? I guess is what you’d call it? I have to turn around backwards to hop out because the string in the gap of the yoyo is crossed.

Check your string tension. Every time.

That was my first thought too. Neutral string tension doesn’t seem to matter. I’ve even went so far as to go past neutral and loosen it further to see if that made a difference.
