Good tutorial. One note: don't use your throwhand to push against the string for the initial somersault. You want to catch the trapeze then let it swing around your freehand on it's own. Andre totally does it right in the first performance, but in the tutorial it shows the finger push, which isn't technically correct.

How do you flip without pushing the string? Couldn't find a tutorial about it

Thought it was made in 2009

they reuploaded it

[@jayant7753]

is this doable with a responsive yoyo?

[@yoyoexpert]

It is, but a lot easier to do with a wider gapped unresponsive yo-yo which makes it much easier to layer the strings on the gap without losing any spin!

[@harisbo6]

how does he bind like that lol

[@yoyoexpert]

There is a great video on learning to bind here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gX7OnqufZbl0qM0

Fuck this it’s impossible I just keep tilting my yoyo even tho my strings straight

[@yoyoexpert]

You really want to make sure that when you do the breakaway throw to start that it is very straight as this is going to affect the tilt of the yo-yo throughout the trick. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIOTfa2qeZqaqNU
