| Revolutions |
|
This routine was created by Dennis McBride. "Revolutions" is composed of a sideways "Around the World", "Pinwheel", "Vertial 1 ½" mount, "Mini-Around the World", roll into "Double or Nothing", and a "Ferris Wheel" dismount.
|
  
  
  
"Revolutions" begins with a sideways "Around the World."
At this camera angle, you view it as if you were watching someone perform it from the front.
|
 
 
|
After one revolution of "Around the World", you intercept the string with your left index finger and do one revolution of "Pinwheel."
|
 
 
 
|
Next have the yo-yo go over your left hand. As the yo-yo is trying to make another revolution of "Pinwheel" you give it some slack and it should shoot up and begin it's way over your left hand.
|
 
 
 
|
The string should make contact with your left index finger and cause the yo-yo to whip around it. Aim to land it on the red outer string.
|
|
After it lands on the red string, you've completed the "Vertical 1 ½" mount. Accomplishing this manuever is very difficult at first.
|
Now take your left hand out of the loop so your right hand is supporting the whole string structure. It should look like this.
|
It's now time to do "Mini-Around the World". You do the rotation by swinging it from the left to right.
|
This is how it looks after you do the rotation.
|
Now swing it back in the opposite direction.
|
This is how it looks after you do the rotation.
|
Next insert your right index finger into the loop of string that goes around your left index finger.
|
Expand the loop like so.
|
With your left hand, make the yo-yo do a rotation by swinging your hand to the left in a semi-circle motion (shown with blue mini-arrows).
|
The yo-yo goes over your left index finger. Aim to land on the outer blue string.
|
Once landed, you have "Double or Nothing."
|
 
 
|
Dropping the string that goes around your right index finger will take you to this position. |
 
 
|
This is the same position as the previous except we switch camera angles. We will now show it from the side. |
 
 
 
|
By pulling the right hand this will cause the yo-yo to flip of your left index finger. |
 
 
 
|
After it flips over, you'll be in this position. |
Brng it into the "Man on Trapeze" position. To finish off this trick, just toss the yo-yo up in the air and catch.
|
| The hardest part of this trick is probably the transition from the "Pinwheel" to the "Vertical 1 ½" mount. But nothing is hard if you practice.
