The Ladder Escape Master Level Yo-Yo Trick

Video Transcript

ANDRE BOULAY: This is Ladder Escape part one. Let me show you what Ladder Escape looks like real quick. The trick itself, it goes like this. Trying [INDISCERNABLE] time Ladder Escape. You will see there is lot of elements to this, so sometimes even I'll miss one element in the trick. That's the whole basic trick itself right there. Now let me break this down into steps for you. The first step is something called a Ladder Mount, it looks like this. You notice you have kinda like a little triangle forming with the string. And from this, this is why this allows you to kinda pop the yo-yo in and out and do kind of like the tricks that I was just showing you a second ago. To get into this mount, what you want to do is you throw the string as if you're going into a Double or Nothing. You stop halfway through though and instead of swing onto your non-throw hand pointer, you go from the back over like that. I'm going to take my throw hand pointer finger and twist it in towards myself up and over like that. So when the yo-yo hits here, just like that-that's how you you're your Ladder Mount. The other part to it is as you're twisting this over, you want to take your thumb on this side and make sure that your thumb is over here. So as it comes over to land, you can display the Ladder Mount correctly, so it comes over, swing the yo-yo from behind, pull your finger in and out and stick your thumb in there just like that, my thumb is in here from my non-throw hand pointer, swing the yo-yo onto this as if you're doing a trapeze. From there your thumb is going to be twisted, so you want to point it out--point it out, take your thumb, pick that string up and from there you're going to be able to create the Ladder Mount. One more time, for Ladder Mount, I've swung the yo-yo in towards my body, take my throw hand pointer, twist in up and over, put my thumb in here, use my pointer finger until I land the yo-yo on the string farthest from me, untwist, pick up the thumb and you're there. Watch this video a couple of times, see if you can get the Ladder Mount, this part one of Ladder Escape. So one more time, the Ladder Mount.
