The trick in steps
- Curl your fingers in
Start the same way as Braintwister. Curl your fingers in and place your throw hand index finger between the strings.
- Swing and hop
With a slight swing, push the string down with your throw hand index finger. The yoyo hops over that finger, away from you, and lands on that string.
- Go under and around
Move your non-throw hand index finger forward, under and all the way around the yoyo and back, keeping your throw hand in the same place.
- Repeat the roll
That is one Barrel Roll. Repeat the last two steps together for as many Barrel Rolls as you want.
Tips
- The hand in front goes under the yoyo
- Make each Barrel Roll in two motions
- Dismount and bind properly
Common mistakes
- Moving both hands at the same time
- Dropping all the strings before the return instead of dismounting
