I’d like to know, too! In the meantime, I’ve been working on getting into the wrist mount one-handed. Throw a world tour, let the string go across the back of your hand, stick your thumb under the palm-side string segment and open it up… and then catch it into the hand! Jake Gross showed it in a video recently. It’s good fun when you land it. I’m only about 25% consistent, though. Jeremy from MFD loves the wrist mount.

Those are they, beherenow! Just doing the bottom one (not the full Bottle Rocket trick) but from a World Tour instead of just hopping it up. ---

This is a really fun, and pretty easy trick from the wrist mount. It’s a good showy trick for people who haven’t seen too much yoyoing.

Jsell, it’s a fun trick for sure! When I’m showing it to people, I exaggerate the whole, “Oh crap, I’ve got a wamble here” with facial expression; then to reinforce that I’m in a predicament, I say to the person I’m showing the trick to, “Can you help me out here? I need you to blow gently on these tangled strings.” Then as they’re blowing, you slowly let the strings fall free of your fingers and hand, the knots “vanish” and the person who did the blowing is grinning from ear to ear. I find this works out more effectively than the hand-clap. Even when you do it slowly, non-yoyoers don’t catch exactly “how” you’re dropping the string segments and it looks like it’s magically vanishing over a few seconds. On the other hand, my 4-year-old son loves yelling, “KAZAM!” as I do the hand clap… Your mileage may vary. :wink: * * * Inside Frank’s (frodoslair) video a few posts above is this trick that’s a current favourite; here, a separate tutorial by the trick’s creator.

I come up with a lot of my own stuff - but I never claim to have invented it.  There are quite a few things I’ve come up with that I have since found out were tricks “invented” by someone else. I think it’s disrespectful to the gazillion yoyoers who are 100 times better than me to claim that I invented a particular move (unless, of course, it is something truly unique!). Besides, this is a hobby we all enjoy and we all try to be creative, coming up with the same moves is bound to happen.  I just want to enjoy the ride 🙂 > [@yoyo bt](#): > > > [@frodoslair](#): > > > > Here’s 10min of easy-ish things to do from a wrist mount: > > > > [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ne3617HrA8g](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ne3617HrA8g) > > > > If you really want to study wrist mounts - you should try have a look for Shawn Fumo’s Wrist Mount Project.  It’s THE textbook on the matter… > > Can you provide a link for this.

Wrist mount boingy-boing is an easy way to add just a touch of style. As you do the single-string underpass (like the very first underpass of Spirit Bomb, or on your way to a standard dismount) you just stop under the yoyo, putting a bit of pressure downward to raise the yoyo up a bit. Move the whole wrist mounted hand up and down a bit and you get a boing going on. It’s “looser” than a standard boingy-boing, which can make the yoyo want to pop out. But once you’ve got the accuracy down a little bit, it’s actually easier and possibly even more useful than a regular boing. ---

Do a wrist mount, dismount but keep string around throw hand, do a jade whip, then pull the new loop out, taking away the wrist mount string. The string will be shorter! [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/tricks-from-wrist-mount/54189.md?page=2)
