This trick was created by Paul Escolar and is one of the most difficult tricks out there. Sector Y has a video of HitchHiker on their site and I would recomend watching it to get an idea of what you are suppost to be doing.

Step 1

We'll start out this trick using the trapeze mount. To learn most of the mounts used on this site go to Ken's World On A String.

Step 2

Put your left thumb down on top of the two strings and pull out the highlighted string with you right index finger.

Step 3

Bring your thumb back up.

Step 4

Hop the yo-yo up onto the yellow string by pulling your right hand back

Step 5

Hop the yo-yo up again and this time land it on the string furthest in front of you.

Step 6

Drop the string off your right index finger.

Step 7

Move your right index finger in between the yellow string and the one coming down from your left thumb. Begin to make an underpass.

Step 8

Once you finish the underpass and land the yo-yo on the highlighted string drop the loop off your left thumb.

Step 9

swing the yo-yo off the string to your right and turn your right index finger down and pointing towards you.

Step 10

The yo-yo will now swing up around your left index finger.

Step 11

Land the yo-yo on the highlighted string and once it lands drop the loop of string off your right index finger.

Step 12

Pull back with your right hand to do one forward somersault.

Step 13

Hook the yellow string with your right index finger.

Step 14

Make an underpass with your left hand and shoot the yo-yo forward into the highlighted string. Move your right hand forward also.

Step 15

Move your left hand up and swing the yo-yo out in front of you.

Step 16

The yo-yo will continue to swing in front of you.

Step 17

This part is kind of hard to explain but I think you can get it from the illustrations. First, as the yo-yo continues to swing around point your right index finger out in front of you. Second, with your left index finger twist down and around behind the two strings in front of you.

Step 18

Land the yo-yo on the yellow string.

Step 19

Now turn your right index finger pointing towards you again and raise your left hand up.

Step 20

Push down with your left index finger on the two yellow strings and the yo-yo will swing up above your hand

Step 21

Bring your left hand back up again and land the yo-yo on the two yellow strings.

Step 22

Drop the highlighted string off your left hand to get you into a Mach 5 position.

Step 23

Hop the yo-yo forward and let go of the string on your left hand. You now should be in the trapeze position.

Step 24

You now end this trick with a Suicide. Move your left hand to the right and the yo-yo will travel up around your right hand.

Step 25

Drop the loop off of your left hand and the yo-yo will continue to circle around your right hand.

Step 26

The yo-yo will now complete it's circle.

Step 27

Push your left index finger back through the loop.

Step 28

and you will be back in the trapeze position.
