Breakaway Yoyo Trick with a Luminator Yoyo by http://YoTricks.com
The Breakaway is the throw that is used to get into Side-Mount Tricks like Man on the Flying Trapeze. In this video I show two methods of doing this throw so anyone can learn the trick in a way that works for them.

  • what has to be the best metal yoyo? dv888 or metal drifter?

  • @kaylay623 They don't really compare... the DV888 is a much better yoyo, that's why it costs so much more than the metal drifter. However, if you are just getting into string tricks you may find the metal drifter easier to use because it has a smaller bearing.

  • Whenever I throw my breakaway it either 25% of the time does a ufo thing or 75% of the time it does a sideways around the world or something like that plz help!

  • @DigitalAgeStudios It sounds like you are sometimes holding the yoyo backwards in your hand. If the yoyo is not in your hand properly then when you attempt this trick it will often go into a UFO. If you don't know what I mean do a youtube search for:

    Learn to Throw a yoyo

    and watch our video about throwing the yoyo. In that video we show you how to properly hold the yoyo, and if you hold the yoyo properly you should do better with the breakaway.

  • whenever i do a straight throw in my breakaway it always into a UFO type thing can u help?

  • @anoitedn94 It is possible that you are holding the yoyo backwards in your hand. Make sure to check before you throw the yoyo each time that you are holding the yoyo properly.

  • thx so much i can throw it perfectly now :)

  • @BuNzOfStEEL61 It sounds like your throw is not straight, so as the yoyo sleeps the string hits against the side of the yoyo and the friction slows it down. This is normal when you begin this trick. All I can say is keep practicing and work on straightening out your throw.

  • hi, whenever i throw my yoyo to do the breakaway it loses spis as soon as it leaves my hand.

    Please help me

  • @x1jaykay1x It is the Luminator by Peter Fish. You can get it at YoTricks.
