Hold the yo-yo correctly in your hand and curl your arm up like making a muscle with your hand next to your ear.
Bring your elbow down with a snap as you release the yo-yo out over the ends of your fingers.
The yo-yo should arc out and down. As soon as the yo-yo reaches the bottom of the string, turn your hand over and the yo-yo will climb the string and return to your hand
The Forward Pass
Start with your arm straight, angled behind you about waist-high with the back of your hand facing forward.
Keeping your elbow straight, release the yo-yo while gently swinging your arm forward to waist-high in front of you.
The yo-yo should go down, out, and return easily to your extended hand.
Loop the Loop
Start the loop with a forward pass.
As it returns, instead of catching it, roll your hand in a backwards circle with your wrist and the yo-yo will go out in another forward pass.
