Texas Cowboy on a Yoyo
Texas Cowboy tests your jumping and timing as much as your yoyo skills, and the whole thing runs in one motion. Give yourself plenty of space above and around you, with no objects, people, or animals in range. You can work the moves out first with a yoyo that is not spinning.

The trick in steps
- Throw over your head
Throw the yoyo over your head, as if you were swinging a rope.

Once the yoyo has gone fully around over your head, bring your arm down and, with the same swinging motion, jump over the string.
- Tug and catch
Keep the yoyo moving, bring it back in front of you, then tug up and catch it.
