Week #12 - Drop Suicide Catch

Hello everyone! I was asked to teach a trick this week, and after some thought settled on the dropped suicide catch, or at least that’s how I’ve been referring to it for almost a decade now lol…

The trick is rather straight forward, make sure your string tension is neutral, throw a trapeze, lift both of your hands up at the same time to get the yo-yo and the trapeze loop to have upward momentum, and then break your arm. Or withdraw your freehand from the trapeze loop and quickly bring your hand under the yo-yo, back up in front of the yo-yo and back into the loop.

I hope that this was hard enough to be a challenge but not so hard that it scares people away this week. Good luck and have fun! :wink:

If you start to get this down, try doing a reverse hidemasa hook, unwrapping it to a trapeze, and then landing the dropped suicide catch, it looks very fancy. :slight_smile:
