Suicide

aka: suicide catch

invented: like 97 or 98? find out

inventor: Paul Escolar

The basic form of the suicide is a trapeze, released such that the yoyo and loop together travel under and around the throwhand and remain intact to be caught back in a trapeze mount.

In general, a suicide is any such ballistic trick involving the releasing and catching of a loop of string where the yoyo is also ballistic. The ending position may or may not be the same as the starting position, but there must be some element of travel involved.
