Every time I try to do a suicide the string either catches and the yoyo comes back or the loop never forms and the string gets all twisted. I’ve tried doing it with new strings but I still can’t really get my finger into the loop. Do you guys have any tips for this or is it one of those things where practice is key?
Practice is a key to this trick. You need to give it the right amount of momentum when you swing it. And I’m not sure if this is a fact, but for me, it helps to use both hands when I’m swinging. I find it to give a slightly bigger loop. You also need completely neutral tension. If you don’t have that, the loop will twist itself together pretty easily. You can catch a suicide with bad tension but you will have a lot of twists in the string.
Addment: Just keep practicing. One time you’ll get it and scream like a 6-year old girl on Super-Shok Flakx.
Make sure to have prefect string tention. Aim, swing, and don’t let it snag. If you need, put 2 fingers in the Trapeze to make the loop bigger, then swing. It is a bit tricky to get, but keep doing it. You’ll get it.
try doing a reverse side style brain twister and go right into the suicide, two advantages are there is more monentum when you go around your throwhand and therefore there is a better loop with constant motion.
