i found that if you let string wrap around the bearing it acts like if you were pinching the slack kinda like if you were to do a gyro flop on trapeze you would wrap string around the bearing the one setback is it only works on tricks that you pinch the slack so im not sure if it would work for suicide i first figured this out on trapeze and his brother slack so maybe some techy slacky trick that when string would wrap around the bearing it might not work but you can use it for a trick if its made up of single element if all of you could try it tell me how it works for you and share some thoughts on wich tricks it does and doesnt work on it would make it way cooler ---

Can you show an example bc I am not sure what you mean? Like i understand you are talking about adding an extra wrap around the bearing but idk how that is relating to slack for you ---

im sorry i cant make a video but ill try to eexplain it when you add wraps on the bearing it makes the yoyo not move along the string and shorten the slack in short since the yoyos not moving the slack isnt moving either wich if you have perfect string tension it will just hang alowing you to do things that were previously not possible note: you might have to add more wraps if the yoyo is still moving along the string ---

if you still dont understand think of it this way what does a pinch do in slack tricks it stops the yoyofrom moving wich makes the slack able to be moved by itself without the yoyo interfering now for wraps around the bearing its the same thing it stops the yoyo from moving along the slack and shortening it wich allows it to have the same effect as pinching if you still dont understand try going on a trapeze and his brother and put enough wraps on the bearing (maybe 2 3 or even 4) to make it not move along the string and shorteneing the slack and make sure you have perfect string tension now as your doing this do trapeze and his brother slack but dont pinch see how it has the same effect as pinching now try it in other mounts and experiment 1 more thing please share how it turns out
