Well if you’re looking for an easier way, I can’t really personally help you there, but:
I figured out a cool flashy way to get in a 1 1/2 mount. What you do is start with a trapeze, pinch the loop with your non-throwhand, and swing it over just like in Yuuki Slack. Only don’t catch it in the double or nothing-ish mount like normal. As the slack swings over, let the loop go off your non throwhand, and catch that suicide loop with your throwhand index. Then you got yourself a 1 1/2 mount. I call it Yuukicide 1.5! (I’ve been throwing that trick for like 2 months now but literally just made that name up like 5 seconds ago lol 8))
