Generally, you shouldnt do more then 3 rotations though. ---

> [@](#): > > Generally, you shouldnt do more then 3 rotations though. well you can do 10 revs if you want, but make sure the yoyo is closer to your throwhand than nonthrowhand, because it moves closer and closer to nonthrowhand as u rotate. Btw, if you use gloves, you can do them at the speed of light without burning XD ---

XD I knew somone would say this. While you can actually do more, more then 3 isnt needed, because hose 3 are only counted in, like, sontests or something. ---

Well, in my opinion, it’s about the quality of the posts not the amount of them, but we’re starting to get off topic. ---
