Is there a name for the group of tricks where the yoyo stops spinning and you re-start it?
I’ve seen this a lot in fixed axle videos.
People do a complicated string trick, and the yoyo spins out, then they get out of the trick in a way that is actually a new throw.
Those are both sort of close.
Here is a video of what I’m talking about.
It comes up a couple times in the video, but it’s also the very first trick. (Then again at 1:24)
The yoyo is dead, and then he restarts it at the end.
In 1A it is called a stall or a, the more popular name for them, a Regeneration (Regen for short).
There is another style when you use a wooden yoyo that is called Fixed Axle and it is all about Stalls and Regens.
Ok. That makes sense.
I’ll watch the video another couple times and see how they restart it.
I figure I’m good at the dead yoyo part, so I’m half way there.
I don’t think of stall tricks as stop and gos even though you stop the yoyo… and then go… Confusing? Maybe. I’d have to ponder on what distinguishes a stop and go.
