I’m stuck on the ending of split the atom. I do the first spin but when I come to do the second spin the string is wrapped around my throw finger so it makes it harder to do the second spin. Is this meant to happen?  
How should I be dismounting?

Yes. To dismount, I just drop every thing on my right, and come out in a brain twister.

When you do the somersaults, the string will wrap around your fingers. Unless you are using a REALLY short string, you should be able to complete all 3 somersaults. Its all about momentum, just be smooth.

Hmmm, make your yoyo unresponsive to do the split the atom, or unwind the yoyo a little bit to throw unresponsive.

Happy Throwing! ==]
