This is one of the few tricks, that you really need a responsive yo-yo for. Some kids with their ultra unresponsive aluminum yo-yos might frown on that fact, but Loop the Loop is still one of the all time greatest crowd pleasers. It also is one of the very few tricks, that you can perform effectively on a stage. There are no complex string figures that can only be appraised by audiences less than ten yards away from you. The effect is that of the player having the yo-yo on a rubber band, slinging it around his throw hand.

  • Step 1: Start as with a Forward Pass, by throwing the yo-yo...
  • Step 6: ...you do not catch it, but you bring your hand down, letting the yo-yo swing over...
  • Step 20: ...and, once you have done enough loops, you can catch the yo-yo from below.
  • Step 10: The yo-yo has completed its flip, and is now rotating clockwise once again.
  • Step 11: Once more sling the yo-yo forward...
  • Step 12: ...up...

  • Step 5: When it comes back, ...
  • Step 7: ...and around it.
  • Step 8: While the yo-yo rounds your throw hand, flick the hand forward, slinging the yo-yo away from you again. The yo-yo will now start to unwind again, changing direction of spin.
  • Step 3: It will usually sleep for a fraction of a second...
  • Step 14: ...and back towards you. Note, that the yo-yo should be slanted slightly sideways. Do not panic, it is supposed to do this, it actually helps with the flipping around on the next loops.
  • Step 4: before being tugged back towards the player.
  • Step 2: ...forward. In this picture the yo-yo rotates clockwise!
  • Step 17: Here's the flip again. The dark side makes way for the white side. :)
  • Step 9: This is the moment, where the high speed camera comes in handy , as it captures the moment, where the yo-yo flips around. You read correctly, the yo-yo flips around. Until now, the white side of the yo-yo was facing us, now the dark side is beginning to show Click on the photos to enlarge.

abstract
  • This is one of the few tricks, that you really need a responsive yo-yo for. Some kids with their ultra unresponsive aluminum yo-yos might frown on that fact, but Loop the Loop is still one of the all time greatest crowd pleasers. It also is one of the very few tricks, that you can perform effectively on a stage. There are no complex string figures that can only be appraised by audiences less than ten yards away from you. The effect is that of the player having the yo-yo on a rubber band, slinging it around his throw hand. In many contests, this trick has served as a tie breaker. The player managing to throw the most loops was declared the winner. These days this has been replaced by Trick Ladders.
