The yoyo may not be straight, or the string could be off to the side hitting the response. I don’t know what Yoyo your using, but if you can adjust the gap, you may want to try increasing that as well.
Hmm, could be one of any number of things - I’ll throw a few out, ignore the ones that don’t apply:
something is wrong with the breakaway, such that the yoyo is spinning in the opposite direction - if its correct, if you throw a breakaway and let the yoyo settle down in front of you, it should be spinning clockwise (assuming you’re right handed).
your non-throw-hand pointer finger is angled, so the yoyo leans on the string, or rubs against the sides (vs. just riding on the bearing)
your throw isn’t hard enough to begin with, so it runs out of gas quickly
extra friction caused by equipment setup (old string, bearing too responsive, response system, gap too tight, etc.)
Brad and Apetrunk pointed out what was most likely. When you land sidestyle tricks, make sure that you bring your hands closer together to give it some slack. If you pull it tight, the yoyo has more space to start leaning and tilting.
I just wanted to know if the sleep time was really too short or it is just normal. If it were normal, AeroSlaYa would just have to do his tricks faster.
Im pretty sure if it was normal, he wouldnt be asking this question… i can stay in a trapeze, sometimes a double or nothing for a long period of time if i land it correctly, for a long period of time. I’d say around like 30 seconds to a min.
And i would just check my string, string tension, and practice, practice, practice.
Okay, I saw what I said, and I know what you mean.
The second part was meant to be directed at the OP, not Dom. Anyway, just to be honest, I was feeling quite angry with Dom that day, non forum-related matters.
