So, I learned how to do the ufo and sidewinder on a relatively responsive yoyo.

However, now that I’m using a CLYW campfire, which is quite unresponsive, I was wondering if there was some trick, such as the ufo/sidewinder, that I could do with an unresponsive yoyo apart from letting my yoyo spin until the string is no longer too tense/slack.

Thanks!
