You need to learn Breakwaway. Don’t tell me it’s too hard! It’s the same as a sleeper, just throw it the other way! Nice vid. ---

Nice stuff! You’re in good company with the “sideways sleeper” crowd… tonnes of great players using that style (and hardly any breakaways) just fine. ---

You can throw however you want! That was pretty nice throwing. I liked it. How long you’ve been yoyoing? ---

You’re really good for eight months! A tip though, instead of letting the yoyo swing and then swing it the other way (the way you swing a yoyo to a trapeze), you could undermount it and then dismount to trapeze/some mount. ---

I read the first comment and got excited, because at that moment I knew I found someone else who doesn’t use a standard breakaway. Join the club 8) Awesome video dude. I really enjoyed it. ---

That was really, really awesome for 8 months. If I was told to guess, I would have said at least a year and a half. Really good. Just out of curiosity, what throw was that? Also, if you want to check out nice ways to have a smooth start like someone already said, check out the thread on here for the video Lazy Afternoon by Alex Gallimore (the man right above me I might add), or this video right here by Alexis JV. Both are great throwers who also start from a front throw instead of a breakaway.

LOL But you should use a bit more of a graceful move going between the front throw and the sidestyle, like maybe a boing or something rather than just swinging it back. Other than that, awesome video! ---
