Best Yo-yo Walk the Dog Video EVER!

by

Learn to Walk the Dog with a yo-yo. It’s THE most famous yo-yo trick there is, and the one everyone wants to learn and see. We’ve heard of many a marriage that came about as the direct result of learning this trick.*

 

First make sure you can throw a good, long Sleeper.  Once you can do that, all you have to do is throw a fast sleeper, very gently set the yo-yo down on the ground, let it walk in front of you, and then give it a sharp tug to bring it back up to your hand.

 

Tips:

– Make sure that you start walking the yo-yo right next to you, or in front of you.  If you start it out behind you, as the yo-yo walks forward there will be slack in the string and the yo-yo could come back up too soon.

– Set the yo-yo down on the ground gently so it doesn’t pop right back up.

– The faster the yo-yo is spinning, the farther it will walk.  See how far you can go.

Gravity Pull

by

The very first yo-yo trick to learn.

Gravity pulls the yo-yo down, and you pull it back up.  Let the yo-yo drop toward the ground, then give it a steady pull before it reaches the end of the string.  See how many times you can do it in a row without stopping.

 

Tip:

– If the yo-yo spins at the end of the string, just give it a sharp tug and it will come back up.
