Is it possible that you could do a sideways trick (like trapeze sideways) and then do a thumb grind until the yoyo turns 45 degrees and then do some front tricks. I’m only an intermediate yoyo player, so i cant get that long combos if i do this, but its a suggestion. :-\
Another thing - a way to start a dead yoyo.
Basically, you hold a dead yoyo at the end of the string in your hand, and throw it like a normal throw, and roll it over your hand, so it starts spinning at the end of the string. This is very fast/easy, and after you get it spinning a little, you can bind, or go into some tricks (i cant because whenever i do it, it wobbles, and when i try to get into a trapeze it just goes dead again.
Again, just another suggestion. :-
Hope you can get something out of this.
To answer your first question, yes it is possible. As for starting a dead yoyo, there are many ways to go about that. I do a restart from a JD-like stall, basically put the throw between your palms, and spin the yoyo, overmount and backspin bind. Cake
I’ve been performing a trick similar to what you’re looking for for a few years now. I call it the UFO grind, I’m not sure if others have done anything similar but it’s one of the methods you might want to consider to accomplish the tricks you’re looking for.
Take a look at the trick I do between 1:31 - 1:37. The action of the trick does go off screen a little, I can refilm the trick for you if you’d like but the general idea is while the yo-yo is spinning sideways you pop it up onto your throwhand index finger while holding the rest of the string in your freehand. The yo-yo will be spinning like top on your throwhand index finger at this point. To get it to tilt 45 degrees so you can perform side/front-style simply pull on the string you are holding in your freehand.
Again, let me know if you could use another video showing the whole trick and I’d be happy to film and upload it for you. Hope this helps you with your trick ideas, take care!
Thats really cool. ;D
Is it possible to do a trapeze then grind it so its horizontal, like what you did backwards?
Also is it possible so that the yoyo doesn’t tilt, and it just turns 45 degrees to a forwards trick (like braintwister combos)
