Thread: Oops. I meant suicides: How do I make that loop bigger?

I've been trying to do the suicides: get it into trapeze, swing around, release non throw hand, and then catch loop w/ nonthrow hand index finger. Having problems getting finger into that loop when it's soo small! Also, how do you give yourself more airtime to catch that loop? It seems so fast! Do you try to do some strobelight effect by blinking your eyes quickly?

Found the video explaining the trick once I got the right name. Sorry, newbie move : /

Open the loop with your thumb before you throw the loop around. This will help give you a bigger loop to catch.

Also, using a lightly lubed yo-yo opens the loop wider than using a dead dry one. Dunno why, but it does.

You shouldn'trely on the yoyo to do this move for you. As you toss the yoyo around your handyou need to move your hand away from the yoyo slightly. (throw hand) It will open up the string into a large loop.You can use mods to the yoyo, and get similar results but never will it be as consistent.

Thanks, guys! I've already seen immediate results!
