Title says it. I would say that it’s POSSIBLE, as long as it’s possible to get out of horizontal GT’s, if that’s even possible to do. Do you guys logically think that it is possible? Why or why not? Please explain down below, as I would really like to “research” this. ---

Well, The slack you have to drop onto the yoyo at the end of the trick would be difficult because now the yoyo is leaning on it’s side… ---

Depends how horizontal you’re talking about. ---

Can you do ladder escape? Can you throw horizontal? If so try it out. Is it possible? Sure anything is possible but doing a behind the back horizontal ladder escape sounds insanely difficult and nearly unfeasable. Horizontal ladder escape would be possible but very difficult but behind the back is just ridiculous. ---

horizontal ladder escape isn’t that bad, I bet a lot of people could do it. I can do it, although inconsistent and sloppy 😃 but that slack part at the end turns more into a whip lol Behind the back? I guess its possible, but if you call mickey/gentry/yuuki/etc. I don’t think any of them would be able to do it 😃 ---

It’s probably more difficult to do horizontal than most tricks because the yoyo’s on the string all the time. ---

If you can do all three (Ladder Escape, Horizontal, Horizontal Behind the Back), then try it. I honestly don’t think Ladder Escape is possible to do Horizontally let alone behind the back. ---

Horizontal btb is already difficult, but trying to incorporate something like ladder escape would be something to behold
