Lesson 1 Basic Yoyo Tricks

Setting up the yo-yo

  • Winding - The "trick" you will probably have to learn first.
  • String Tension - Tightening or loosening your string.

Basic Techniques

  • Throw Down - to let go of the yo-yo while forcefully uncurling ones arm in such a way that the yo-yo translates its gained linear momentum into rotational inertia.
  • Sleeper - First perform a throw down but let the yo-yo spin at the end of the string.
  • Breakaway - A sideways throw.
  • Forward Pass - Throwing the yo-yo forward. Elementary exercise, yet always a crowd pleaser.
  • Flying Saucer - A sideways throw that can tighten/loosen the string.
  • Binding - brings back an unresponsive yo-yo.
  • Fake Binds - A different way to bring your yo-yo back. Sometimes more effective than a normal bind.

Lesson 3  Loops and Regenerations

A regeneration (or regen) is a yo-yo technique which 'regenerates' the spin of the yo-yo, so you can continue without needing to catch and throw the yo-yo again. The idea behind this is as old as Loop the Loop and Hop the Fence.

Lesson 4    String Tricks

These tricks involve a yo-yo sitting on the string in holds called mounts. So called moves or transitions are used in string tricks to get from one mount into another.

Lesson 5 Picture Tricks

These are basically string tricks, with the little distinction, that the yo-yo is usually not mounted anywhere, but just hangs on the end of the string, while the string is used to form a picture. A notable exception to the last sentence is Rock the Baby, where the yo-yo is part of the picture.
  • Eiffel Tower - A picture trick of the Eiffel Tower.
  • Spaghetti - A fun trick that looks like you're eating spaghetti!
  • Jamaican Flag - A picture trick of the Jamaican Flag.
  • Robin Hood - Shooting an imaginary arrow.
  • Rock the Baby - The yo-yo rocks in a cradle.
  • dizzy baby- yoyo goes full circle around the top of cradle

Lesson 6  Grinds    

These tricks involve the yo-yo coming in contact with the yo-yoer or other objects, usually rolling along them. Even though the very first grind, Walk the Dog, was conceived decades ago, the technique was only recently improved by players like Johnnie Delvalle.

Lesson 7    Slack String Tricks

While in the classic string trick, the string is kept taut, slack string tricks involve a portion of the string to be left slack. Variants include whips, where the yo-yo is lassooed using a sling of string, lacerations, where a loop of string is slung around the yo-yo onto a finger, in order to get into a trapeze-like mount, and suicides, where a loop of string is dropped and later recaught. Some yo-yoing sites treat whips as a different trick category than slack tricks.
