I need help with skin the gerbil

So whenever I go into a trapeze or double trpeze the strings just come together as if it’s gonna bind. Idk what’s wrong sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn’t. In the photo below you can see this is from a trapeze position as soon as I do a forward roll into the trapeze the strings come together forcing the yo-yo to stop

Are you throwing a breakaway?

Is there a chance you could make a video? I know it may be intimidating but it makes it much easier figuring out what the issue might be. If not it’s cool. We will get you up and going.

Idk how to create a video :frowning:

Are you using a phone?

You can record a video and post it to YouTube, instagram, Imgur, any number of video hosting sites, and then copy and paste the link here.

Be sure to clean your camera lens so it’s clear!

Your string looks ok.

Are your pads good?

If so then you’re probably not throwing a proper breakaway, loke Henry said.

I made the same mistake once!

Okay yeah because if you were throwing a front style throw, then the yoyo would be spinning the other direction and more aggressively want to bind. I think practice letting the yoyo slide along the string if it is gripping too much. Try a thinner string maybe but more likely this is a skill issue and you will figure it out w practice

Here learn these like isolated technical exercises
