Man on the Flying Trapeze

From YoYo Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

The Man on the Flying Trapeze is the first sidestyle mount you will learn. Although the mount itself is simple, there are many complex tricks that can be done from a trapeze.

[edit] Throwing a Trapeze

Described for right handed players. For information about the diagrams see YoYoGrams.

It starts with a breakaway, the yo-yo is rotating clockwise (anti-clockwise for left-handers). Let the yo-yo swing left and against the left index finger.

[edit] Dismount

To get the yo-yo back to your hand, the most simple way is to pull both hands apart, catapulting the yo-yo upwards.

At first you keep the string taut with your left hand.

When the yo-yo is high enough, let the string slip from your left index finger and the yo-yo will return to your right hand. This dismount is called a flyaway dismount.
