That was a long subject line so sorry but are there any other ways to start a dead yoyo besides the way andre showed in the last topic about this. Its a pain winding it back up when i mess up learning new tricks. So since ive been practicing new tricks ALOT this past few weeks its getting very annoying having to wind it up. I just cant get the snapping mothing with my fingers to start it that way. So are there any other ways? Thanks ---

Well, you can put the yoyo in your right palm, then move your left hand across the top of the yoyo really quickly, and right after that, really quickly, drop the yoyo out of your hand. I’ll try and find you a video of JD doing it.

lol the way up there ^^ is by making a dead trapeze, Move your nonthrowhand down and throwhand up, rolling the yoyo up towards your nonthrowhand. It will just wind up bcause its rolling on the string. then, you do a loop the loop. Thats ^^. ---

The X-ConVict is perfect for stalling. Stalling is stopping a yo-yo with your hands, and pulling your hands apart starting a spin. I will try to get a video up for you soon. ---

what i do is put it in a trapeze, bring the loop over the yoyo so it’s wrapped like a bind… then roll the yoyo, drop it then bind. ---
