The trick in steps

  1. Pop up and grind

    Start with Trapeze. Slide the yoyo along the string, then pop it up to grind along your throw arm.

  2. Return and bind

    Pull the yoyo back onto a Trapeze, then bind to get it back to your hand.

Tips

  • Wash and dry your hand
  • The stronger the spin, the longer the grind
  • Pop the yoyo up at the end to give yourself more time to land in Trapeze
  • Grind from your finger towards your elbow

Common mistakes

  • Keeping the string tight with your non-throw hand, so the yoyo never grinds on your arm with its full weight
