Looking at the video, if I wanted to do the stand alone trick could I just roll out into a bind instead of removing the string from the gap?

yes you could.

damn thats smooth in the vid with i could get that! but i keep practiceing and dreamin
;]

Holy crap, I finally figured it out!!! Thanks Brett. It is funny how a trick will just click after a while.

whenver i do it it doesnt work it always lands in a laceration trapeze but when i noticed it the whole loops whips around ur i nger i tried that and it just fell back into a sleeper

That just means that the loop is just missing the yoyo, when the two connect *BAM* the hook. Just keep practicing, this is one of those tricks you randomly keep practicing than you'll land it once then a little later you'll do it again until you master it and can do it whenever haha

This is how I try teaching the trick, throw a breakaway/sleeper and then take your non-throwhand and make a pointing gesture (like the little hand on the computer when you move your curser over something thats clickable) and point right out in front of you.

Your hands should be about shoulder width (this will give you a bigger loop of slack to throw) and pop the yoyo up and create a slack loop with your throwhand by pulling up and making a slight circle with it. If your non-throw hand didn't move it should be right in the path way of the slack loop to create the hook.

To really get it you should just practice the part where you create the slack and it collides with your non-throw hand because once you know how that part works the trick is pretty much done and the slack just has to finish going around your hand and then connecting with the yoyo.

i wish! ive trying to do it for 3 months now for god sakes im been yoyoing for almost 8 months!

haha I know what you're saying, when I tried to learn boingy-boingy it was one of the first tricks I tried learning when I started yoyo (tried learing it after I was yoyoing for like 3 months or something) and that trick took my like a year to get. it just randomly came to me when I tried it one day and it was quite the day.

really.? boingy boing took me a day to learn o.o

Well I learned it really quickly, but doing it well and consistently and mastering it was a whole different story.

But yeah you just keep up with the hook and the little trick I said in my post, hopefully that will help you

Took awhile but i got it

I too have spent countless throws attempting this. One day I told myself, "ok, do not do any other tricks untill you learn hidemesa hook." Needless to say, I've learned many other tricks since that day and never learned it. I'm a stud at trapeeze laceration though!

everybody is diffrent for leaning tricks haha, boingy boing was hard for me i went in and out of it, but like i learned candy rain and spirit bomb in one day, they are no big to me.

i can see the whip forming but it always stops at my finger and slides back down into a sleeper

This might be partially due to the string if you use highlights, your could try a different heavier/thinner string, like any g-string, or alchemy/angel hair will generally whip quite fast.
However before you do that you could try a shorter string if you still use full length,(read;cut the string.) and combine that with a faster whipping motion...

Watched this video yesterday and picked it up. Thanks. I still don't understand what is really happening unless I watch your slow motion.

Just got this, I feel like such a ninja now!
