Tricks referenced in this tutorial Trapeze About this trick When you're fairly new to yoyoing, this trick is good to learn to help you build up hand-eye coordination. Plus, when you start learning to improvise and just do whatever moves pop into your head as you yoyo, this is a cool thing to just throw into the mix every now and then. Cold Fusion 07/31/2009
Tricks referenced in this tutorial Double or Nothing 1 1/2 Mount Buddha's Revenge About this trick When done well, this is one of my favorite tricks. After doing the trick a thousand times, you eventually are able to do it so fast that the two underpasses done in the trick look more like sideways Boingy-Boings than underpasses. And, even besides that, it is just a really smooth trick. Kwyjibo 07/31/2009
Tricks referenced in this tutorial Trapeze Eli Hops Cross-Arm Trapeze Double or Nothing About this trick It might take a bit for you to understand where your hands are supposed to go after each hop, but keep at it, it'll click. Also, for the first hop, grab the string going from your throwhand middle finger to the yoyo with all four of your throwhand fingers except for your index. This will help keep it out of the way when you're trying to land the Cross-Arm Trapeze Upside-down Trapeze 07/31/2009

Tricks referenced in this tutorial 1 1/2 Mount About this trick This trick, along with many other tricks, is the reason why 1 1/2 Mount is sometimes called the "Buddha Mount". Interesting, huh? Sometimes you have to wonder if they named the trick "Buddha's Revenge" because it was done on Buddha Mount, or whether they named it the Buddha Mount because you do tricks like Buddha's Revenge from it...

Tricks referenced in this tutorial Double or Nothing 1 1/2 Mount Houdini Drop Boingy-Boing About this trick This trick was made up by member of YoYoJam's contest team, Jimmy Peng. (Hence the name.) I first saw it on a pretty old yoyo DVD, and I was amazed at how cool it was. Then I looked up the trick on the internet and couldn't find anything about it, or any tutorials for it. So, I spent a while and learned it from the DVD (I'm terrible at learning from someone doing a trick full-speed, so it was a pretty good accomplishment for me) and decided to make a tutorial for it once I got the hang of it. It's an awesome trick, probably my favorite trick out there right now. If you want a crowd-pleasing, hard-to-do, slick trick up your sleeve, this is the one to learn. Boingy-Boing 07/31/2009
Tricks referenced in this tutorial Split Bottom Mount About this trick The first time I ever saw this trick, I was honestly shocked by it. It looked really cool, and it seemed like it would be an easy trick to learn. It almost made me happy just by watching it done. I had a talent show coming up really soon, so I decided to try to get it down before then. I'm not sure whether it was just due to my lack of the "buckle-down-and-learn-the-trick" attitude, or whether the trick is really that hard, but I never got the trick down until around a year later. In any case, this trick does take a lot of practice. It's one that for hours your hands might not want to cooperate on, but one day it will just click and you'll be able to do it perfectly. It's doubtless worth the effort though, 'cause it's definitely a major crowd pleaser. Don't give up practicing! Brain Twister 07/29/2009
Tricks referenced in this tutorial Sleeper Bottom Mount About this trick Another classic classic classic. I should mention that, customarily, this trick is done by your throwhand following the yoyo around, sort of swinging with it. Doing it that way wraps your throwhand in string with every repetition. The way shown in the video is less correct (technically speaking) but more fun and smooth. Quadruple or Nothing 07/29/2009
Tricks referenced in this tutorial Breakaway Triple or Nothing About this trick I'm not totally sure why I decided to take the "# or nothing" to 4 times with my tutorials, but I guess I'll stop here (Tesla is rolling over in his grave). You can, in theory, go as many times around your fingers as you like, but eventually it just becomes unnecessary and you'll run out of string. With a decently-sized string, you'll probably be able to do Double-, Triple-, Quadruple-, Quintuple-, and maybe even Sextuple or Nothing. But, going above to Septuple, Octuple, Nonuple and beyond, you'll have to use a ridiculously long string. | Welcome to Rethinkyoyo
