The foundation of all yo-yoing. The yo-yo spins at the bottom of the string while you wait — patience in motion.

Classic

Throw a sleeper, then gently set the spinning yo-yo on the ground and let it roll.

A horizontal sleeper that swings in a full vertical loop. Big motion, big confidence.

A throw out in front of you that returns to your hand. The simplest call-and-response.

Land the yo-yo on the string itself. The doorway to nearly every modern trick.

String

Wrap the string twice around your finger and land the yo-yo on a double mount. Looks fancy. Is fancy.

Continuous forward loops driven by wrist flicks. Rhythm and timing become everything.

Trapeze → double-or-nothing → triple flip → dismount. A rite of passage.

Continuous hop-and-cross transitions through complex mounts. Smooth as it sounds.
