The Forward Pass Yo-Yo Trick
Although your yo-yo fans may not jump up and down and cheer as if they were at a football game, they'll applaud when you throw a Forward Pass. Hold the yo-yo as in the Throw Down, but drop it to your side. |
Step 1: Hold the yo-yo as if you were about to perform a Throw Down. But instead of holding your yo-yo hand in front of you, drop it to your side, turning it over so the back of your hand faces forward.
 Flick the yo-yo forward. When it reaches the end of the string, give it a tug back and catch palm facing up. |
Step 2: Then flick or swing your wrist and arm forward, throwing the yo-yo directly in front of you.
Step 3: When the yo-yo reaches the end of the string, give it a slight tug. Then turn your hand over, palm facing up, and catch the yo-yo in your palm.
Don't worry if you don't catch it the first few times. If it hits your hand as it returns, you're doing it correctly. With a little practice, you'll learn to catch it every time.
