LEARNING HOW TO YOYO

Learning a trick is a very satisfying feel for all yoyo players, at your start of throwing yoyo you will find tricks as a simple task and you can assure yourself that you can learn a trick every single day. But as you progress, tricks will become harder and harder from the basics to intermediate, advance and master tricks.

Likewise, taking care of your yoyo and knowing their problems and defects are kind of frustrating when you don’t have someone to help.

It’s good that we are living at this time that technological advancements are already made. The internet is an indispensable tool in trick learning and yoyo maintenance especially for beginner players.

So here are some of the links of yoyo tutorials that can help you in your goal of being a great yoyo player

Aside from the tricks, this tutorial also gives tips on how to maintain your yoyo so this is really a complete package tutorial for new to advance players.

YO TRICKS TUTORIAL



A simpler tutorial I think. This one starts from the picture tricks to some advance tricks. Although it offers fewer tricks as compared to the yoyo expert tricks the simplicity of their explanation makes this one as a very good tutorial for slow learners. (Sorry for the term) and besides, the slow motions on this tutorial is magnificent.

MIGUEL CORREA TUTORIALS



A great tutorial also, the beauty of Correa’s tutorials is the use of lines in showing a clearer spot on landing yoyos on the trick. A little more complex on explanation but the slow motions caters this shortcoming. A great tutorial overall.

GERARD AMENTO TUTORIAL



The most enjoyable tutorial of all, combining skills and humor through his dancing, this tutorial will make you enjoy every trick on it. Plus, Amento’s tricks are easily learned because of the multiple replays. A happy experience for all.

The most original when it comes to tricks, rethink’s tutorial are very easy to follow, because of the depth of the explanations on every part of the trick. I usually start with his tutorials when learning common tricks, and there tons of tricks on his arsenal too.

HIGHSPEED YOYO TUTORIAL



Less talk means less mistake, an all-slow motion tutorial are used for this one.  Most of the time when I’m studying this tutorial I’m left fascinated because I’ve managed to see what actually happens to the string as it dance with the yoyo. My only concern about this tutorial is the fact that most trick are done left handed. But VLC can correct this so no problem still.

The most user friendly tutorial on the web, Tosho Tokyo breaks the boundary between you and your computer, you will feel that you’re with him because of his sincerity of sharing his yoyo skill. A very good tutorial especially if you’re already building your own combos.

One of my personal favorites, this tutorial offers the most complex tricks and yet bringing it on a very simple context. No talks needed, just watch and you’ll learn it. A highly recommended tutorial especially for experts and combo makers.

ONE VERY IMPORTANT NOTE

These tutorial are for learning single tricks, they can be your stepping stones but eventually you’ll need to learn how to make your own combos, and no one can teach it to you. I do not suggest taht you memorize all the tricks on these tutorials instead, try to utilize them in creating your own very trick or combo. Because at the end of the day your own style will make your play!

Happy Yoyoing!!!
