Yes. When I do a bind, sometimes I stop my hand and move it to the side, causing it to wind, and roll up. ---

This isn’t exactly like Sidewinder, but it gives the same effect. Edit: WOAH! I totally posted a Justin Weber video on accident, and no one corrected me! 😛 Here is what I actually meant: [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlQfcll1PLQ) ---

ok you can do side winder but you must get a knot i do it by doing wrist mount then just pulling my wrist out it makes a knot but the yoyo shud (sorry for spelling) spin you can now do sidewinder ---

I can’t get a sidewinder to come back to my hand. I have seen videos where people know some tricks of the trade, but i have had no luck. I seen one video... I like the search button  :wink: ---

A method that works for me is grabbing the string closer to the yoyo, and doing a mini sidewinder. ---

you can try pinching the string about6 inches above the yo-yo and do a mini side winder, it should work.
