| Type of Trick | Slack |
| Invented by | Hidemasa Semba |
A cool (and very fast) whip trick, not unlike Reverse Slack Trapeze, but without the pinch. It is recommended, that you master that one before progressing here.

Step 1: Thow a Breakaway and let the yo-yo hang. |
 |
Step 2: Pull upwards... |
 |
Step 3: ...and whip the string... |
 |
Step 4: ...down... |
 |
Step 5: ...under your free hand index finger. It is important that, at this time, the yo-yo is hovering next to the finger. |
 |
Step 6: Let the string continue around the finger into the gap... |
 |
Step 7: ...and let it catch there. |
 |
Steps 5 through 7 from a different angle. |

 |
Step 8: Now pull the string tight. The yo-yo now rests in a loop. When performing live, this is a great moment. :) |

 |
Step 10: ...and... |
 |
Step 11: ... you should now be either in a twisted Trapeze or a Reverse Trapeze, ready to start a Sidestyle BackBind, depending on which segment of the loop you hit the gap with. |
