In my mind, there are a couple different terms for yoyo “moves” and they each have their own definition. Mount- Just landing the yoyo on the string or getting some sort of string formation. For example, Trapeze, Houdini Mount, etc. Trick- In my mind, a trick is something that is unlike anything else (other than its variations). For example, Boingy-Boingy, Suicide, etc. Element- A short move not fancy enough to be a trick. For example, Underpass, Pop, etc. Combo- A combination of mounts, tricks, and elements, For example, McBride’s Roller Coaster, Ladder Escape, etc. But I want to know: What do you think the difference is between all these terms? ---

i think a trick is moves, elements, and mounts mixed together with at least one thing you thought of ---
