The Level 100 Gyrados Yoyo Trick - Evan Nagao Tutorials

Level 100 Gyrodo Setup and Execution
📌 The trick, Level 100 Gyrodo, requires neutral string tension as it is a slack trick intended to keep the slack open.
✋ Start in a Trapeze; place the throwhand index finger around the string connected to the yoyo finger, and the non-throwhand thumb into the loop to open it.
🔄 The core mechanism involves wrapping the string segments held by the throwhand one time over the front of the yoyo to initiate a forward Gyro spin.
🧘 For stability during the swing, ensure hands remain in line with the yoyo and swing simultaneously to prevent tilting, aiming for one continuous motion rather than step-by-step swings of the slack.

Transition to Backwards GT and Binding
➡️ After the yoyo reaches $180^\circ$ of rotation, the slack string transfer must switch sides, requiring simultaneous hand movement synchronized with the yoyo's turn.
⬇️ Bring the throwhand to the inside and under the yoyo, dropping it into a backwards GT.
🔄 Reveal the backwards GT by bringing the non-throwhand over the throwhand, then pop out of the triangle and uncross arms back into a Trapeze; the yoyo will be spinning in the opposite direction, allowing for a bind.

Body Pivot Variation
🔄 For the body pivot version, move the throwhand under and inside the yoyo, then bring it behind the throw arm while pivoting the entire body $180^\circ$.
👣 Pivoting is critical; for the triangle, pivot around the throw foot, and then pivot back to the initial position landing the yoyo onto the Trapeze.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Neutral string tension is a mandatory starting condition for this slack-based trick to ensure the slack remains open.
➡️ Executing the slack swing in one continuous motion is vital to avoid string tangling around the yoyo during the $90^\circ$ to $180^\circ$ rotation.
➡️ The trick transitions smoothly into a backwards GT and concludes with a bind from the Trapeze due to the opposite spin direction created by the gyro.
➡️ Mastery of body manipulation, including specific foot positioning for pivots, is required for the advanced body rotation variation.
