SINGLE A TRICK LIST

 

*Please Note: Bind returns are allowed for all tricks. However, ONLY one bind is allowed per attempt.

 

Start with a "Split Bottom" mount. Go directly into a "Mach 5" hold by performing two underpasses with your freehand index finger (no string shortening somersaults allowed). Now perform five (5) Pops. The seventh Pop will leave you in position to go directly into "Boing-E-Boing". Perform five (5) reps of Boing-E-Boings (back and forth counts as one rep). Now go directly back into a "Mach 5" hold by performing two more underpasses with your freehand index finger, then perform five (5) full "Mach 5" revolutions, unwind to a "Skin the Cat" hold and lower to a sleeper. Return yo-yo to your hand using the method of your choice.

 

Throw a "Houdini Drop" double or nothing hold using the thumb and index finger of your Freehand. Pop yo-yo upwards towards the top string segment and let the string segment drop off of your thumb simultaneously. The string should hit the underside of the top string and drop into a Side-style Mach 5 hold.

Roll the yo-yo over your Throwhand index finger. Now with your Freehand index finger hook and pull the front string segment towards your body while letting the inside segment fall of your Freehand index finger. Now pop the yo-yo in front of the strings and land it on top of all the strings. At this point, or during the previous hop, you can untwist the string segment held on your Freehand index finger.

Roll the yo-yo over your freehand index finger and you will be in a Trapeze hold. Next perform a Magic Drop as in Shock Wave. Now pop the yo-yo upward and hit the bottom of top string and let the yo-yo roll over your Throwhand index finger.

Next reverse the direction of the roll and miss all strings. Let the yo-yo continue a second roll and land of the top string (furthest from your body). Reverse the direction of the roll again missing all strings. Let the yo-yo continue to roll and hit the bottom of the top string as it goes over your Throwhand index finger. Reverse the direction of the roll one last time landing the yo-yo on the bottom string. Let the outermost segment fall off your Freehand so you are back in a Trapeze hold. Return the yo-yo to your hand by the method of your choice.

3.Shockwave - [VIDEO]

Trapeze mount. Next press your throw-hand thumb and index finger together forming a "V" over the string, and wrap the string under your thumb and over the outside of your index finger by rolling your wrist towards your body. Now perform a "Magic Drop" by opening the "V' as you let the yo-yo roll down the string under and over your throw-hand index finger onto the string segment nearest your body. You will now be holding the yo-yo in a modified trapeze mount with the string going over your thumb and throw-hand and with your index fingers spreading the string segments of the trapeze. Now, while making sure not to drop the string off your throw-hand index finger, let the yo-yo roll back down the string under and over your freehand index finger landing on the string nearest your body. Now let the string drop off your throw-hand index finger and also let the outer segment drop off your freehand index finger. You should now be back in a trapeze hold, perform two (2) more reps. Return yo-yo to your hand using the method of your choice.

4.Suicide catch - [VIDEO]

Trapeze mount, Perform three (3) Suicide catches back into Trapeze hold. Return yo-yo to your hand using the method of your choice. All Suicide throws must be from a Trapeze hold over the throwhand and must be caught on the index finger only of the freehand.

 

5.White Buddha - [VIDEO]

Throw the beginning of one-and-a-half mount. After the yo-yo hits the top string, just let it bounce off immediately and land on the bottom string. Now go into a one-and-a-half mount hold with your Freehand directly above your Throwhand. Next, flip everything by moving your Freehand down and your Throwhand up flipping the yo-yo as well counter-clockwise. This is just like Buddha's Revenge. Now spread the string with the thumb and index finger of your Throwhand and flip the yo-yo out of the bucket. Immediately flip the yo-yo back into the bucket. Now flip the yo-yo clockwise over your Freehand and Throwhand.

Once again flip the yoyo out of the bucket but this time flip it out in front of the string furthest from you. Let the yo-yo swing around your Freehand index finger counter-clockwise over your Throwhand index finger onto the same string. Drop the outermost string segment off your Freehand index finger and then rotate the yo-yo counter-clockwise around your Throwhand index finger into a Trapeze and his brother hold (note that your must simultaneously unwind a twist during the rotation with your Freehand index finger.) Flip the yo-yo clockwise over Throwhand index finger and catch the yo-yo in a one and a half mount.

Next flip the yo-yo back counter-clockwise over your Freehand and Throwhand, and flip the yo-yo over your Freehand index finger onto the double string. The yo-yo should now be held in a "V" with your Freehand crossed slightly over your Throwhand. Now drop the string loop from your Throwhand index finger into the yo-yo groove in front off all the strings. You will now be in what looks like a trapeze hold but it is not. The yo-yo is being held in this hold by a "bind" caused by the dropped string loop...pause and show the hold. Then pull string with Throwhand releasing the bind. The yo-yo will drop out of this false trapeze hold and will be hanging over the outside of Freehand index finger. Flip yo-yo back into a trapeze hold and return yo-yo to your hand using the method of your choice.

6.Eli hop touch - [VIDEO]

Start with Trapeze mount and perform five (5) Hops (or Pops). Hands must touch during each of the five (5) Hops. Return yo-yo to your hand using the method of your choice. (The video show seven pops, you only need to do five)

 

Trapeze mount, then perform an upward Pop into a wrist-crossed "One and a Half" mount hold (with throwhand over freehand), then roll throwhand over and under freehand into a wrist-crossed "One and a Half" mount hold (with freehand over throwhand), then Pop to a Double or Nothing hold, then Pop to a Trapeze hold. From the Trapeze hold complete a second rep and end with a Ferris wheel dismount (no binds allowed). (Note that yo-yo must be popped upward on all three Hops, not to the side, and on the first Pop the throwhand must be clearly crossed over the freehand so that the yo-yo is caught in the middle of a "close to" horizontal wrist-crossed One and a Half" mount hold.) Note that all pops must go above the player's head. Return yo-yo to your hand using the method of your choice.

 

8.Slack trapeze - [VIDEO]

Throw a Trapeze. Pop the yo-yo off the Trapeze, and pinch the string between the fingers of your freehand. With the throwhand, throw the string over the freehand arm, forming a "U", and allow the part of the "U" furthest from you to mount itself onto the yo-yo. Swing the yo-yo clockwise over the freehand and throwhand, and you will be back in Trapeze. From the Trapeze hold complete a second rep and Return yo-yo to your hand using the method of your choice.

 

Throw a Trapeze, and then perform a "Slack Wrist mount" by throwing a slack loop under and over your Freehand, catching the loop over your Throwhand. Now swing the yo-yo over your Freehand index finger and on to the string segment that is centered under your catching hand, landing the yo-yo into a wrist-bucket mount. Pull your Freehand out of the hold so the yo-yo is hanging in the mount over your Throwhand. Now perform a double pass-under with Freehand index finger, Pop yo-yo up, bring Throwhand under and catch yo-yo on outermost string segment, Pop yo-yo up, uncross arms, and catch yo-yo over Freehand index finger back into Wrist-bucket Mount (Note that the yo-yo has to pass through the triangle formed over your Throwhand and land on bottom string segment), perform two pass-unders with Freehand index finger onto back string segment and pull into Trapeze hold. Return yo-yo to your hand using the method of your choice..
