There’s a trick I see people do on stage, and it’s like… a sideways Eli Hops. Of course a sideways Eli hops could just be a boomerang… but I mean when they bounce the yoyo in and out with the segment of the string that would go over your hand in a boomerang, is on the bottom. Oh! An upside down Boomerang 🙂 Yeah, I can’t do it :-\ My problem is that I can’t get it to hit the string again, it bounces up, and gravity takes it’s toll… sometimes hits my hand. Any tips? (I’ve already tried being quick about it…) Thank you ;D
