About this trick
Green Triangles are used in many modern tricks, it's very good to be familiar with them.  This mount can be arrived at countless ways.  You're actually going to have to figure out which side of the triangle to dismount out of based upon which side you mounted the trick from.  Always dismount on the same side you mounted, otherwise you'll get a knot in the string.

Hi Kyle, this is a very nice looking trick and not that difficult but... I don't like the dismount. :-) It does not look very nice for instance in a combo... Are there other dismounts possible?

Hey Gabriel. Something I like to do is pop the yoyo out the proper side of the triangle, but then sort of force it to hop OVER the string onto the other side (thus removing the extra wrap of string without having to actually untwist your freehand index finger), then use the momentum of the yoyo falling to let it swing up around your freehand index into a trapeze, where you could continue a combo.

Another option, which is what a lot of others do, is to pop the yoyo out of the proper side of the triangle, then right away land it down into a trapeze just by hitting the string coming from your throwhand middle finger. It's a quick way to enter the trapeze, but the one problem is that the trapeze is twisted, so it hinders your options a little bit.

Let me know if you want further clarification. Not sure if I explained those dismounts well. Good luck!

Thanks a lot Kyle.

Yes, I think I understand your way of getting out of GT. It works well but... I have my freehand index finger caught in a wrap of string, I have to switch my index to my middle finger during the yoyo fall and "trapeze around it". Is it correct?

Yes yes, you're correct. It takes a little bit of getting used to, but it's a little bit smoother than the customary way of dismounting, I think.

If you'd like, you can contact me through the contact form under "Contact" in the navigation bar. I have one more dismount that you could try if you'd like. It's not a one-step thing, but it lands you in a perfectly fine Trapeze over your freehand index, and it's pretty smooth.
