How To Do UFO on a Yoyo

YoyoTrick tutorial

UFO tests most of your yoyo skills at once: a strong horizontal throw, string control, the style to make it look good, and the timing to bring the yoyo back to your hand.

The trick in steps

  1. Throw sideways

    Throw sideways as in Texas Cowboy, but aim lower.

  2. Make an L shape

    Make an L shape with your non-throw hand and hold the string up.

  3. Keep it spinning sideways

    Let the yoyo spin sideways while the string makes the tornado shape.

  4. Tug and catch

    Before you bring the yoyo back, move both hands to the same level. Then tug back and catch it.

Tips

  • Throw hard and horizontal
  • Pop the yoyo up to the height of your throw hand before catching it

Common mistakes

  • Yoyo not spinning horizontally
