Dam! That last hop is a complex move… got it once! Very cool trick. I think the OFFroad tut is much clearer then the yotricks, even with him 5 min intro. ---

Very nice Mike, Okay so this isn’t exactly the “Double GT” that we are learning this week, but take a look at this other variation of “Double” GT in a different sense. @chaosgow taught me this a while back, thought it would be something fun to share.

**Week #12 - Drop Suicide Catch** [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=du__fy-heug) 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. 🙂 ---

I think the soaring in method holds the shape of the mount better before you let go while the throw and catch relies on a precise tug back ---

Ok. So i keep working the dropped suicides and missing, but i like to multi-task like everyone else. So I’m working on my yotricks level up nonsense. There’s a trick called Wasabi GT, which he exits the GT out the back. Cool. What’s my point, and why am i posting this here… God i can be long winded. Maybe. So if instead of using the wrist to catch the slack you do a jack slack style thumb whip and wrap around the yoyo, then mount the front segment like in the Wasabi you get a GT but you have to exit out the front. Just something i uncovered tonight. Hope that made some sense… I’ve been playing with what i can do when i miss Jack slack and wrap around the yoyo instead of catching a half, so now i have two solutions. The modified Wasabi GT and you can actually do MelHops a well which are cool.
