Tricks



Gold


If you are crap at yo-yo's I suggest you leave this page and go back to my homepage. If you are still interested read on. But beware most of the tricks are hard.


Three leaf clover

Throw a vertical loop (same as a loop but vertical obviously) then a horizontal loop and then one strait down


Double skin the cat

Do a sleeper then do a finger hop (where you push your finger into the string and the yo-yo jumps over and lands on the string) with your left hand. Pull the loop created by the finger hop up to about halfway up the strait string. Then do a backwards somersault and a roll out dismount (Flick the yo-yo back out the way you did a finger hop) as it comes back do a inside loop.


Trapeze

Throw a breakaway and put your finger in the way the yo-yo should go over your finger and land on the string. Simply flick up and catch.


Double or nothing

Throw a breakaway and put your finger in the way the yo-yo should go over your finger but this time let it go over your right finger and over your left again and land it on the end string. Once again simply flick up and catch.


Warp drive

Do a around the world and as the yo-yo comes back do a inside loop but make sure it doesn't come back it should go into another around the world. In gold you have to do this 3 times e.g. around the world inside loop, around the world inside loop, around the world inside loop and catch.


Barrel rolls

Do a sleeper and go into skin the cat position (see silver tricks) but bring your right hand underneath and up (your left and right hand should be next to each other). Put your right index finger inside the loop on your left hand. Push your right index finger foward and do a finger hop (see double skin the cat) on to the double strings infront of the yo-yo then bring your left hand (and the string with it obviosly) under the yo-yo. you will be in the same position before the finger hop. This means theorecticly that you can do infinate numbers of barrel rolls (if your yo-yo could sleep that long)! In gold you have to do three barrel rolls.


Brain twister

Do the same start as barrel rolls (above) except your right finger doesnt come up level with your left it just comes halfway between the yo-yo and your left hand. Then do a somersault and then a roll out dismount (see double skin the cat) and a inside loop.


Splitting the atom

Said by many to be the most hardest gold trick, you need a very bloody long sleeper.

Spltting the atom is divided into 6 main parts:

Part 1: Go into skin the cat position (see silver tricks). With yourright index finger, finger hop (see double skin the cat)the yo-yo onto the left string.

Part 2: Do a somersault.

Part 3: Bring your left finger under the yo-yo (like the part after the finger hop on barrel rolls).

Part 4: After your left hands gone under, push your left finger into the two strings infront. Pull your right finger back and under and make sure that the left string goes under the yo-yo.

Part 5: Do a somersault like brain twister (but dont do a roll out dismount its not over!).

Part 6: Now do double skin the cat with a inside loop on the end.

If you can do all the tricks on this page then you are a master yo-yo'er
