Last summer I was in Minneapolis and learned this trick from Mick at the Air Traffic yoyo club:


It is a simple trick, but a lot of fun. I am looking for more tricks that use a drop/slack move like this. I know I have seen some more out there, but do not know any of the names.

Any suggestions?

I don't have any suggestions, but I did want to say thanks for posting this up here. It gave me something other then WoW to do since classes were canceled.

I recently came across another trick with a drop/slack motion. This one is a lot of fun.

Here is another "branding" type tricks..... I love doing this trick....very nice flow.

Awesome tutorial too. Enjoy!

Here's another one...... just posted. Although, it's not much of a tutorial though....you'll have to break it down in slow mo.

yoyogirl - Many thanks for posting these tutorials. I was in a bit of a funk and needed a new trick. Just landed Square Flow for the first time; great trick!

Alright, I can't for the life of me figure out that last pop in Square Flow.....any pointers?

Before the pop up...... make sure you swing the yoyo counter-clockwise, underpass the string from you TH finger so it looks like you're kind of in a Mach 5 hold but with a single string behind it. Then pop up and land on Mach 5 hold........ basically the top string. Hope that helps.

No problem getting to the crossed hands bit, I just loose it during the pop........

if you throw a reverse GT and summersault, u can drape the slack over your wrist and drop an catch that.

Yep Nhi....still lost . Every time I go to do the pop I either end up in a trapeze or this weird hold with 2 loops on my NTH index and a single loop twisted on my TH index. This dang pop is drivin me nuts, I'm sure it's something simple I am just missing or over complicating........

Just to make sure I'm where I need to be before the underpass and pop, the hold there should be the same as if (for a right hander ) you rolled a trapeze counter clockwise over your NTH and put your TH index finger into the loop(if that makes any sence), if not than I have something wrong at that point.

Ok Phill, I hope these pics help.

Thanks Nhi, I've pretty well done the same thing with the video to make sure I have the holds right and I'm positive I do. Its just when I pop the yoyo up and go to uncross my hands that things go wrong.
