Throw a trapeze. Then grab the string farthest away on the loop created by the trapeze. It has the same effect as the whipping technique but is a lot simpler. Dismount the same by pulling the throwhand strings to the side the string is wrapped around the bearing. ---

I was under the impression this was the only way to gyro flop. What is this whipping technique? ---

You can also do a trapeze than an over whip and pull. There’s a tutorial in the G squared thread. ---

There are actually several ways to do a gyro flop. I’ve come up with a good amount, and it’s always fun to come up with more 😃 ---

> [@datenight1636](#): > > anytime to the guys who this helps… sorry for getting the other guys excited. Dude, it totally helps… I used to get so annoyed with either “whip into flop” methods… this one lets me get right to the flop. Love it! Also discovered “chop flop” on [Grawrd.com](http://Grawrd.com) which is super easy. Plastic whip, grab the appropriate string segments… flop!
