Mine is too simple, but I wont take a video.

Breakaway.

Basically, you throw a breakaway, then when it reaches near the end of the string, you raise your hand up. This is how you do breakaways. The follow through will raise the yoyo high, instead of far or low.

Try it, its very possible and fun.

so it's basically like a trapeze but offstring  Huh

Yep. With a breakaway, but not a forward pass.

Alcohol is BAD don't use it. If you ever forget your bearing overnight it will be more rusted than if you left it in the rain all day. Use mineral spirits or lighter fluid. They are the easiest to come by. Take it from YEARS of experience.


lol I got confused, and I realized that you were referring to this post. http://yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php/topic,6305.0.html

I don't know, but I think it makes the text look like its typed by a form of a typewriter.
I think it is mainly for the sake of negative emphasis. (lol).

I have 20 yoyos. -12 are working.
(That was a terrible example)

Its not a split bottom mount, its some weird mount.

I think its a houdini whip, with your wrist instead of your finger. And from a hanging yoyo, not a trapeze.

The first step of this trick.

If you do a double or nothing, and land on the back string, then take your freehand index finger and curl inwards, to pull out a string, you get an eiffel tower. You take the string on your throwhand, and you throw it, and thats Mickey's knot trick.

To make it look more complex, you pop the yoyo out of the mount to the front, but under all the strings, then catch it on the same string like and whut. This will make it a bit twisted, but it will look cooler, and more complex.

I get how to do it, just need to smoothen it out, ill post a tutorial after that. Not sure if its exactly the right way though.

EDIT: Might take a while, its hard lol.

Try to do it one whip at a time and whip your hand. Make sure that when you whip your hand, you are sort of putting your hand at an angle, so that the string can slip off. Don't just swing it around and hope it falls off your hand, you need to throw it off your hand. Remember to throw it off your hand.

Practice this one step at a time, whip, throw it off, catch, and do it again.

You mean the whip that hits at exactly 0:58 or the whip that starts at 0:58?
41  YoYoExpert Forums / Yo-Yo Tricks / Re: How to do this trick? on: September 08, 2009, 07:31:35 PM

For the upward bind, try using a bigger loop, and get the thing to swing up and let go fast. Get it swinging fast, the loop will catch more easily.

For the skin the gerbil, its your hands. If you have smooth hands, the string will slide smoothly. What you're doing when you skin the gerbil is this:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/ewmf_dG2ZPQ&rel=0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/ewmf_dG2ZPQ&rel=0</a>
You're not pinching the string, it is just doing it naturally because the string is stuck to your skin.

To get rid of that, keep this in mind.

I'm assuming you know how to do the trick. For me, it doesn't lose spin at all. The reason it loses spin is because of these:

Bad string tension - Yes, if you have tight string tension, the strings will try their best to wind up around the yoyo, and cause it to snag. It also makes it harder to slide across your fingers.

Sweaty/Sticky Fingers - Yes, sticky/sweaty fingers makes the strings unable to slide across your fingers. In fact, sliding the yoyo in a trapeze is a way to wind up your yoyo. If you have smooth fingers, the string will slide across, and it wont wind up. If you pinch the string or have sticky fingers, it will wind up. Wash your hands before yoyoing, and dry them thoroughly.

Wrong throw - Yes, some people can't do breakaways, so they do sleepers instead, and this makes the spin of the yoyo against the direction that the string is moving, so it winds up more easily.

Uber Tight gap - Yes, if you have an uber tight gap, loosen it a bit.

When you have these 4 things, the yoyo will do this while skinning it.

44  YoYoExpert Forums / Yo-Yo Tricks / Re: How do ya do gyrosopic flop? on: September 08, 2009, 09:31:53 AM
Pull so that the strings are tight. Don't pull too hard, just enough to tighten the stirngs. Make sure the yoyo is really suspended, not hanging loosely.

Try to keep the strings away from touching the sides of the yoyo. If you have an adjustable gap, adjust it to the widest, it will help.

The "Action" of turning your hands in circles is basically just preventing it form touching the sides.

Yeah sorry. I have a bad memory so by the time I had scrolled to see the last reply I had forgotten who made the topic. I saw Astrojax say he got it, so I thought he had posted the topic.

You are awesome for not starting a flame war  Cheesy So Humble  Smiley
