Ok well what u can do is start from a Mach mount and try it thier or u can try a toothpick flop which is so much easier…Their are some you tube vids that show u how to do it and after u learn it it will be easy to do regular gyro flop!!! ---

yeah I agree with the post above but I will give you some advice. but first what yoyo do you have? if it isn’t unresponsive then this will be tough. assuming you have a good yoyo you should get a strong side style sleeper and go into a sidestyle mach5(you can do front style too but I think this is easier to learn. Then you should pull hard but try to keep the strings away from the walls of the yoyo. Just go half way around at first then build it up until you can do it for a long time. ---
