How To Properly Throw A Yoyo (Sleeper Tutorial)

Yoyo used: OFFSETyoyo Ascent available here; https://offsetyoyo.com/products/ultim...

This trick is ‘The Sleeper’… here’s how you do it.

Start by holding the yoyo with your palm up.
Make sure that the string is wound over the top of the yoyo. If the string is wound under the yoyo, it won’t roll off properly and will spin in the wrong direction.

Hold the yoyo beside your ear, make a muscle. To throw, extend your arm, and let the yoyo roll off your hand.
When it gets to the bottom of the string, flip your hand down, give a tug with your wrist & catch the yoyo back. You want to flick so that you create a bit of slack in the string, as that slack is what makes the yoyo want to come back up

For longer sleepers, you can try throwing harder by raising your elbow and really flicking out your wrist. Really ensure you master the sleeper because this is going to be foundational for essentially every other trick.

Once you can get your yoyo to sleep for at least 10 seconds, you’ve mastered ‘The Sleeper’.
