I can do a banana turnover and some pretty basic tricks but whenever i start to go fast, the yoyo just tilts back to normal. Any tips to prevent this? ---

Translate some regular tricks, such as skin the gerbil, for horizontal. When you start trying to translate, don’t play at fully horizontal. Start at an angle and work up to fully horizontal. ---

What yoyo are you using? Usually a V-shaped or H-Shaped yoyo will be best for horizontal. For example, my Victory, MVP, and Wet Whistle are much better for horizontal than my Drop Bear or Y-Factor. ---
