Spinning Tricks - Single Looped String (pt 4)

Around the World

Start with a Break Away, except when it reaches your other shoulder, let the yo-yo go around a second time.

NEEDS PIC   When it reaches your shoulder for the second time, give the yo-yo a quick tug and bring it back to your hand.

Thumb Wind

Use your free hand to hold the unwound yo-yo with the thumb in the string groove with the string bent around the end of your thumb. The yo-yo hand should be held above and slightly behind the yo-yo.

By pulling upwards with the string at the same time as letting the yo-yo roll off the end of your thumb, enough spin is generated to start the yo-yo up the string. Once started, you can "yo-yo" it up and down until it reaches your hand.

Adjusting the Yo-Yo If the Technic will not sleep (spin at the bottom) or the string bunches on the Tornado, take the string off your finger and let it hang down to untwist. "Righties" tend to make the string too tight; "Lefties" tend to make the string too loose. You have to adjust your string often.
