Start off by throwing a 1 ½ mount ( your hands will not be crossed ). Then drop the strings off of your right index finger…so that you have a one-handed trapeze of sorts. Swing the yo-yo around in a counterclockwise circle, for two full revolutions. Aight, now you’ll still be in the one-handed trapeze, but with more wraps of string on your ( left ) index finger.

There are basically three strings going up and down between your hand and the yo-yo. The two rightmost strings form a loop. Insert your right index finger in-between this loop and the leftmost string. Perform an underpass; bringing the yo-yo around your right index finger in a counterclockwise direction and landing it on the bottom string segment. Now drop all of the strings off of your left index finger. You should end up in a trapeze.

This next move is kind of tricky – but probably the coolest part of the whole trick – so you’ll want practice it a bit before going any further. Swing the yo-yo around your right index finger in a counterclockwise direction, like you’re doing the last part of Skin the Gerbil…but before it completes a revolution or anything, swing it back around into a trapeze. Mmm, I hope that made sense. The effect will be like the yo-yo hits a wall or something and bounces back. Practice is the key to making this move look right. Try watching the SuperYo Kickin’ Tricks video to see how it’s supposed to look.

So you’re back in a trapeze. Slide the yo-yo down towards your left hand and off the trapeze ( like you would for The Matrix ). Act like your gonna go into a 1 ½ mount, but miss the string. The yo-yo will complete a full revolution, and then just use a simple finger twist to get the resulting wrap of string off of your left index finger. Let the yo-yo keep flowing towards your right hand, around your right index finger ( intercepting the string, of course ) and land a Double or Nothing. Drop the loop of string off of your left index finger and then unwind to a trapeze ( i.e. swing the yo-yo around in a clockwise circle, which will get you to a trapeze ). End with a ferris wheel dismount or whatever. That’s Meltdown.
