its like doing a double reverse hook, without the hook and instead going for a laceration and hitting the slack with your hand ---

Are you doing it from a breakaway or a regular sleeper? If you are doing it from a breakaway it is easier from a fronstyle throw(regular sleeper) ---

> [@DByoyoer](#): > > Are you doing it from a breakaway or a regular sleeper? > > If you are doing it from a breakaway it is easier from a fronstyle throw(regular sleeper) This is true, i fyou are doing it from a breakaway the yoyo will be spinning the wrong way for a “proper” bind. Remeber: youre basically binding the yoyo with a cool looking laceration ---

I learned it really fast because I thought it would come in handy one day. Anyway, you have to know how to do one of those binds where you swing your right arm counterclockwise and have the slack hit your arm. That’s a relatively simple thing to learn Next, after practicing that, try to guide the yoyo to hit the string and learn what it dpfeels like with the yoyo you want to do it with. Finally, once you learn that bind, simultaneously start crossing your arms as soon as the yoyo hits the string. But you’re going to have to leave a little bit of space, for the yoyo to return to your hand, between your arm and your torso. Hoped this helped
