How to Yoyo with your First Yoyo

Learn how to yoyo - learn how to throw a sleeper, how to wind a yoyo, and how to deal with common mistakes. These yoyo tips will help you get ready to start learning tricks.

Step 1: Make a slip-knot for your finger by pulling the string below the knot through the pre-tied loop at the top the string.
Step 2: Put the slip-knot on your middle finger between the first and second knuckle.
Step 3: With your palm facing up, position the yoyo in your hand with the string going from your yoyo finger over the yoyo.
Step 4: Bend your arm to make a muscle, then release the yoyo by extending your arm, making sure not to drop your hand too much or the yoyo will hit the ground.
Step 5: As the yoyo sleeps at the bottom of the string, turn your hand over and tug on the string to bring the yoyo back to your hand.
Step 6: Enjoy a lifetime of yoyo awesomeness!

"I wanna be a yoyo man!" he cried.
"make me a yoyo man!"
but the yoyo master did not answer,
he just kept on yo-ing.

I was doing this wrong my whole entire life. This is very instructive, thank you.

I was at a career fair for my university and one of the many swag I got was a cheap yoyo, which threw me into this idea: "What if I got a better yoyo? I know playing with the cheap versions of things can sour the experience for oneself so let me circumvent this by getting a real one!"
Now here I am, learning all the intricacies I never spotted. You also saved me money with the finger protection!
Already a fan!

I never imagined the other day when I found my Yoyo from childhood so many grow ups or people in general still played with yo-yos. It says Duncan speed beetle on the side if you’re wondering

I love these little rage scenes when you show how not to do it. Makes the video really funny while still being informative. Keep up the good work. :)
