Conflicted Suicide – Steve Brown
12/15/13
“Here’s a weird suicide…you start from a Double or Nothing, pull it under and remount on top, and throw from there. You end up with an artificially bound loop that disappears when you tug on it. Weird, right?” – Steve

Grind Drop Suicide – Steve Brown
10/25/13
“Never underestimate the fun factor of rolling your yoyo off furniture. Interesting to note, this trick didn’t want to work until I put my jacket on the back of the chair. Apparently, tweed provides the perfect amount of friction.” – Steve

Cheap Yakisoba – Jacob Jensen
10/24/13
“Of the many tricks I’ve built, this is one of my most favorites. Not because it’s exceptionally pretty, flowy, or revolutionary, but because it takes a few burly concepts and ties them together in a big awkward mess that makes me a better yoyoer for landing it. It also unlocked chopstix for me, much as watching Shawn Fumo’s Wrist Mount Project unlocked the wrist mount for me.
Inducted chopstix mount, knuckle split, wrap suicide caught with pinky, inverted induction to GT. After filming this trick the first time, it was well over a year before I landed it again. Partly because it’s so hard that I failed when I tried, and also because it’s so hard that I assumed I’d fail when I tried, and thus rarely bothered to. Let that be a lesson to you.” – Jacob

Buddhacide 2 – Jacob Jensen
10/17/13
“A White-Buddha-inspired suicide, interrupted by an inner rim grind, and left hanging until I pick it up to bind with. Like many of my earlier tricks, it’s a blend of existing elements to create something I haven’t seen yet. I could imagine Takeshi or Guy coming up with this, though, considering how similar some of their tricks are.
The original Buddhacide was one of my earliest original tricks and despite its importance to my progression, I’m afraid it’s not terribly exciting from a trick theory standpoint, so you get the better one.” – Jacob

Hardflip Suicide – Ed Haponik
10/4/13
“Found this while playing around with fixed axle concepts on unresponsive yo-yo’s for my Fixed Friday column. Similar in effect to 3D Drewicide, but also totally different. If you watch the slow-mo carefully, you’ll notice a late rejection right before the catch which gets rid of the initial mutation.” – Ed
