Step 3: Reach down with your yo-yo hand and grab the string just above the spinning yo-yo with your thumb and index finger.
 Quickly jerk the yo-yo up so it jumps over the top of your arm. |
Step 4: Now quickly jerk the yo-yo up. It will jump over the top of your arm as it winds up. Let it continue down toward the floor, then retrieve it as if you were doing a Gravity Pull.
Be sure the yo-yo is spinning swiftly when you tug the string to call it home.
