TRICK-A-WEEK CHALLENGE WEEK #15
JACK’S SLACK
Here’s a fun looking trick! I love slacks and it uses a gyroscopic flop which are really neat looking. Also includes a suicide at the end. Just a very neat looking trick IMHO!
Let me know what you guys think!
This is my progress today. I think (although not fast) before the slack is fine ish. Just needs polishing.
The slack I can’t seem to do 
Man, you’re so close! Fantastic progress man!!
Thanks dude. I need to figure out the slack and I think I can tick off at least one of my back log TaW 
Love it… we will do our best…by we i mean me myself & all my throws
No worries, life comes at us and we deal with it and find our yoyo time when we can. I missed a few weeks due to a new job, no mental energy for learning new tricks, so, I just played for a few minutes when I had the chance.
Don’t let yoyo become another stressor.
I can gyro flop front style no problem…this just reminded me that my gyro flops side style need some work… Rest of the trick I have more or less already figured out.
a late entry for week 14. a few GTs (the 1.5, French’s whip and a laceration) on the new Magpie
now on to week 15…

That was sweet! Good job bro
Damn Nitro! Nice job!!
Slackin…on a Grasshopper GTX
hardest part of this for me was keeping the yoyo from grabbing the string after the suicide toss. the yoyo kept spooling itself up in the GT at the end…
anyway. here’s my entry. cool little trick. not nearly as smooth as the OG vid, but i’m working on it.

I actually got the slack to catch… but my yoyo keeps flipping out of control towards me… correct direction but no control. Any thought?
during the gyro flop portion?
make sure when you start, you’re pulling the strings nice and firm and perpendicular to the yoyo. then you can move the strings slightly and see how the yoyo responds. it doesn’t take much to get it rolling over. too much movement on the strings will cause the yoyo to roll faster.
you can practice that part by itself pretty easily. i usually do a houdini mount/kamikaze mount where you throw a double or nothing but let the yoyo catch your NTH thumb on the first pass then around the NTH pointer on the second. You drop the thumb loop onto the yoyo and it sets up to be able to do a nice side version of a gyro flop.
or you can do the whip version
hopefully this is what your talking about…

So it doesnt matter how i get into the flop as long as i flip the yo yo twice towrds me then I should be able to roll into the GT and toss? i actually can get plastic whip regularly so i can practice the flop more as i practice the slack part.
Thanks.
yeah, that gyro flop part is the same as any other gyro flop as far as I can tell. for the trick we have to get there from that trapeeze slack but you can definitely practice them seperately.

also, i’ve noticed the yoyo is less stable in the flop if it’s going too slow. faster spin seems to work better for me.

I’m hitting the slack and gyro, but I’ve yet to catch the suicide.
Getting close then

This is definitely a fun one! Especially since I never learned gyro flops…
