This new trick I invented where I saw at my leg with string. ---

Am I the only one here who does not understand at all how people are getting string burn from sky bind? Whenever I do it, the string barely makes contact with my non throw hand finger. The contact is extremely short and involves very little friction. ---

The contact is extremely short and involves very little friction. I get burnt sometimes from it. I’m not very well rehearsed with it, so my finger is in contact for a little longer to make sure I’m accurate. ---

The contact is extremely short and involves very little friction. We’re either not talking about the same bind or we’re doing it totally differently. When I do it as described on RethinkYoyo (where I learned it), you drag your NTH finger a good six inches, and with the full weight of a yoyo causing a lot of friction. If you are coming out of a trapeze, you can use the momentum to shoot you up into the “sky”, so I can see how you might be doing a version that doesn’t burn. I think I’m speaking for the other burn victims when I say I’m referring to shooting up all the way from being in a sleeper. ---

I don’t get burns with sky bind at all. How is that even possible? I’m with Jake Elliot on this one. Also, eli hops is pretty much the only thing I get string burn doing. ---

How do you get burn with Eli Hops? I don’t even get the barest hint of friction. True story! Already mentioned how one could get string burn with sky bind… it has to be from sleeper or we’re simply not talking about the same thing! If you watch the Rethink video, don’t you see him quickly drag his finger along almost 12 inches of string with the yoyo dangling from it (creating much friction)? How can you NOT get burned from that? 🙂 I admit, I’ve done some sky binds swinging all the way around to the bottom from trapeze (creating a bunch of momentum) in which case yeah… not much chance for burn. But if you’ve missed some tricks and you’re in a sleeper and you want to just bind up and restart, forget the Sky Bind if you like your fingers the way they are. First time I tried following the Rethink tutorial was enough for me to spot the danger, although I keep foolishly trying it anyhow, hoping to stumble across just the right amount of pressure to do it successfully. Maybe if you’re using a very light yoyo there’s not as much friction either? I don’t know! I can’t visualize how you could do it from sleeper without getting string burn. ---

I am referring to sky bind from a sleeper. I can land it 90% of the time and I never get any string burn from it. ---

I like sky bind, but I don’t like the buns. Probably using the right string helps (and I know you’ve got that covered!), but that can’t be the whole of it. Some subtle little trick that I (and others!) are missing… ---
