I know I probably didn’t create this but I do a finger grind, then throw the the string over the gap of the yoyo while letting the yoyo slide off your finger and pulling. Kinda bad at describing tricks for the most part but basicly it’s a finger grind to bind style trick i’ve been practicing. ---

I’m working on one right now for the last part of a trick I’m making up. It ends with me grinding he yoyo on my left hand which is extended out to the left of my body. Then I let it grind down my arm towards my shoulder, duck my head, and let it go accross the back of my back and down my right arm to my right hand. I’m not very good at it yet but this is gonna be sweet when it’s done. ---
