> [@BooZSmall](#): > > Perhaps it’s too early and my brain isn’t functioning yet. But I can not for the life of me imagine what you’d do to preform that. It sounds so awesome! I’m sure I’m getting the terms wrong since I’m a n00b, but I was referring to something nearly identical to a trapeze stall, except instead of wrapping the string around the index finger of your offhand, you use the thumb of your throw hand. > [@GTDropKnot](#): > > Use the thumb and catch it in a chopsticks is what i think theyre talking about. There is one at the end of nates combo from this year. Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I think they’re called lunar stalls in 0a but idk i’m kinda lazy w learning trick names ooops You’re probably right, but for some reason I thought lunar stall was from a shoot the moon or other forward pass type motion. ---

So if that’s lunar stall, what’s the similar one from shoot the moon? Edit: After some searching I think the one from shoot the moon is lunar landing. ---

Lunar is just an abbreviation of Lunar Landing (or Moon Landing) which is the thumb stall off of Shoot the Moon. In the modern fixed axle lexicon, any analogous thumb stall can be referred to as Lunar. Worth noting that Lunar Landing may actually be the ORIGINAL intentional stall trick - definitely predates Trapeze Stall. ---

Hey Mr. @edhaponik, I know I’m too late, but is this even close? I feel like I’m missing something crucial, and I REALLY want to understand this trick.

almost. you’ve got the idea - just gotta put it together into one motion. it FEELS like a suicide in rhythm, but the yo-yo has to fall “through” the loop on your throw hand which you let go of before it even catches and replace it with your turned-around free hand. it’s pretty subtle. ---

> [@Yodaddyo](#): > > I REALLY want to understand this trick. Fwiw it helped me to practice it some without the inverted nth outside the arm just like pass through and catch the loop. Helped me to understand the element and timing of it. Like I got a good feel for it that way and then added the more complicated catch later. Trying it like that could be worth a shot ---

honestly i think it’s easier to understand in an unresponsive or 1a context. i developed it as a 1a trick the way you’re doing it - first catching the yo-yo in the wrap/pinch and then eventually realizing i could switch hands in the middle of it. i insta’d the version i posted above along with two other variations: one where you catch it IN the stall and the usual 1a version i do (which is WAY harder on wood lol - i should do that version next year). > **[ed Haponik on Instagram: "had a couple people bring up this weird 'invisible...](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGyAe4_phTU/?igsh=MWV0Ynhkbm9yYWZxZg==)** > > 0 likes, 0 comments - edhaponik on March 4, 2025: "had a couple people bring up this weird 'invisible suicide' element in my last fixed axle feb trick. note that the yo-yo has to pass THROUGH the wrap you've got pinched in your throw hand. i do it a... ---

I had 3 videos and 3 tricks. Trapeze stall. Makin Da Zines. Tape Measure. I’ll most likely spend the rest of this year learning what was posted this month. 0A has been a ton of fun and I find myself reaching for my fixed friends over and over again at the beginning of my Yoyo journey. ---
