I was watching mickeys at the 2012 worlds on YouTube and noticed he did a kickflip. How do you do that? ---

Y’know, the cool thing is you can start small, which is what I’mma do. I can do a one-handed trapeze stall on a fixie and never thought of adding it to a sky bind. Then I saw it in that video and thought, “OK, I can at LEAST start there and see where it goes.” :wink: ---

It’s exactly the same other than binding into the stall. ---

> [@Raigo](#): > > Im having trouble with rotating the yoyo Is your string just slipping out? With a low-wall yoyo it might be trickier to get’r going, but I just tried it with a low-wall yoyo and it wasn’t TOOooo different. Might have to make sure there’s not too much string length or something. Put your hands a bit closer together so that the string forms more of a ‘cradle’…? Can’t say for sure. Worked for me first try. ---

> [@Raigo](#): > > Noobie question, but I really don’t think I’m doing the stall correctly, > Is there a tutorial of it somewhere? Not sure. I just did a basic backspin bind (ye standard breakaway bind) and then once the bind kicked in, I quickly moved my NTH in place for the stall. If you’re not doing a bind first, you’re just landing a trapeze, not a stall. ---

ohh, yeah. that’s a 3D eli hop… i don’t think there are any tutorials for it, but it’s been in a bunch of freestyles. hopefully somebody else will be able to chime in with a good alternate angle or somethin’ for it. but basically what you do is… 1. throw a trapeze 2. pop the yo-yo off the string going FORWARD (away from your body.) this is pretty counterintuitive, because the string pushes against the sides of the yo-yo and you probably aren’t used to the motion, but with a little practice you should be able to pop it up and forward at least a foot or so 3. pull the yo-yo back and land it on the string. that’s the hard part, i guess it’s a pretty simple trick, but easier said than done i’m afraid. hopefully someone will be able to provide alternate video examples. p.s. if you still want to learn to do unresponsive kickflips, what we mean by “binding into it” is binding a slow-spinning yo-yo and landing it on the string in a stall
