I thought it might be fun to discuss some of our favourite yoyo trick mounts, whether it’s your favourite to start your tricks from, your favourite when watching other people perform or any other reason why you like the mount.
It doesn’t have to be one of the classics that everyone knows, if you have some niche tech mount you like then feel free to gush about it too
For me, I find myself starting so many of my tricks from a double or nothing and I really enjoy it as a starting point for tricks. Hardly a rogue pick, I know lol. It strikes a great balance to me of having enough complexity and options to branch off of without requiring a lengthy/complex setup before getting into the meat if the trick. It’s simplicity also means there are a bunch of ways to vary how you get into the mount (yuuki slacks, a laceration straight into it, popping into it from a 1.5 mount, etc).
A couple other classic favourites for me are the wrist mount and a 1.5 mount. The 1.5 mount in particular I find great for starting off flowing tricks that feel very smooth and satisfying.
My favorite mount is probably the release mount that so many tricks get into now. I just like the feeling of being able to drop everything without magically getting a know.
Trapeze gang. If somebody thinks trapeze is boring, then that just tells me they aren’t thinking creatively enough. I feel like trapeze is a super common home mount for techheads. There’s just endless possibilities from it. Trapeze is the blank canvas of modern yoyoing.
My one is the magic drop, is insane how many variations of the magic drop you can create just messing around and also how many ways it helps to create a trick and form slacks, for me is all around one of the best place to start a new combo
Gotta give some shout outs for the Sub Mount (A Trapeze with a TH index in it), and the over looked Hydrogen Mount aka Sidestyle reverse Split Bottom. Also can’t forget the Bucket.
