The Man on the Flying Trapeze is the first sidestyle mount you will learn. Although the mount itself is simple, there are many complex tricks that can be done from a trapeze.
Throwing a Trapeze
Described for right handed players. For information about the diagrams see YoYoGrams.
It starts with a breakaway, the yo-yo is rotating clockwise (anti-clockwise for left-handers). Let the yo-yo swing left and against the left index finger.
Let the yo-yo swing around the finger...
... and land it on the string.
The final position should look like this:
Dismount
To get the yo-yo back to your hand, the most simple way is to pull both hands apart, catapulting the yo-yo upwards.
At first you keep the string taut with your left hand.
When the yo-yo is high enough, let the string slip from your left index finger and the yo-yo will return to your right hand. This dismount is called a flyaway dismount.
