Stop and Go on a Yoyo
Stop and Go sounds simple: stop the yoyo, then send it straight back out. The timing is what makes it tricky, and it takes a while before it runs cleanly.

The trick in steps
Start with a strong Sleeper.
Start as you would for Elevator, but place the yoyo against the middle of the string.
Move your throw hand underneath and around the yoyo, then place it under your non-throw hand.
Tug up, catch, and hold the yoyo in your hands.
Keep your non-throw hand still and pull your throw hand down. The yoyo releases and spins. The more power you use and the quicker you pull your hand down, the faster it spins.
Unfold the string from your non-throw hand, then tug the yoyo back up and catch it underhand.
Tips
- Pull the yoyo up close to your non-throw hand
- For "GO", keep your non-throw hand up and pull down with your throw hand only
- After "GO", the string should lie on your non-throw hand
- Catch the yoyo underhanded
Common mistakes
- Moving your hands after catching the yoyo in both hands
- Restarting the yoyo with both hands
- Using an unresponsive yoyo
