| Three Seven: | [See MPG4 Video]

UPDATE: 5/25/03
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 seven (7) Pops. The seventh Pop
will leave you in position to go directly into "Boing-E-Boing". Perform
seven (7) 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 seven (7) full "Mach 5"
revolutions, unwind to a "Skin the Cat" hold and lower to a sleeper and then
return yo-yo to hand (no binds allowed). To be performed exactly as seen in
video

UPDATED 5/29/03
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 end trick with a Ferris
wheel dismount.

|
UPDATE: 5/31/03
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, repeat twice more. End the
trick with a Ferris wheel (no binds allowed).

4. | Suicide Catch (3 reps) | [See MPG4 Video]
|
Trapeze mount, three Suicide catches back into Trapeze hold, ending with a Ferris wheel dismount (no binds allowed). All Suicide throws must be from a Trapeze hold over the throwhand and must be caught on the index finger only of the freehand. To be performed exactly as seen in video.

5. | Kwijibo: (2 full reps) | [See MPG4 Video]
|
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. To be
performed exactly as seen in video.

6. | Eli Hop: (7 reps) | [See MPG4 Video]

Start with Trapeze mount and perform seven (7) Hops (or Pops). Hands
must touch during each of the seven Hops. Must end with a Ferris wheel
dismount (no binds allowed). To be performed exactly as seen in video.

7. | Slack Trapeze (2 reps). | [See MPG4 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 end trick with a Ferris
wheel dismount (no binds allowed). To be performed exactly as seen in video

8. | Spirit Bomb with Slack Bomb Mount: | [See MPG4 Video]
|
Spirit Bomb With Slack Bomb Mount: Throw a Trapeze, then throw a slack loop
under and over your Freehand catching the loop over your Throwhand. Now
swing the yo-yo over your Freehand index finger 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, end with a Ferris
wheel dismount (no binds allowed). To be performed exactly as seen in
video.

9. | Black Hop: | [See MPG4 Video]
|
UPDATE: 5/25/03
Start with Triple or Nothing mount over both index fingers (note that you can
not throw the Triple or Nothing over your thumbs or other fingers to spread
the strings apart), hop down to Trapeze in 4 hops then back to a hold similar
(but not quite) to a Triple or Nothing in 4 hops (more like undercuts).
After all 8 hops pull your Throwhand index finger out of the hold and rotate
the Yo-Yo 2 revolutions into a Trapeze hold, end with a Ferris wheel dismount
(no binds allowed). To be performed exactly as seen in video.
