So I’ve created a new bind called a cricket bind, and I quite like it. Here’s how you do it: Go into a trapeze and the do one Black Hop so that you’re in a Reverse Trapeze. Swing the yoyo around and into the top string, and let go with your NTH when it starts to catch. Tell me what you think! ---

I hate to be that guy, but I don’t suppose you could make a video? :wink: I don’t know what a Reverse Trapeze is. Is that the same as a Brother mount? (side note: if so, I’m going to start using that, because “Man on the Flying Trapeze and His Brother” or even just “Brother” are so oddball to me) ---

Sorry guys, forgot a step 😢 When you get into the Reverse Trapeze, do a Trapeze and His Brother Slack, and [i]then[i] swing it into the top string from there. Hope this helps :wink: ---

Not entirely sure if this is right but this is how I’m interpreting the instructions (skipped the black hop and just went straight into the brother mount): [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/e/e/dee6cd99631096d4148dd170ab4569bd0fcfe0a4.jpeg "Cricket Bind (Variation)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZf2VJimQGk) Apologies for the poor video quality.
