What is Yo-Yo?

Yo-Yo

If we borrow the words from a dictionary,

But we don't need to explain it like that because most people know what a yo-yo looks like.

A toy going up and down like that, right?

But most yo-yos can spin at the bottom (Sleep) like that.

This condition of yo-yo is called "SLEEP," and the trick is called "SLEEPER."

This is the most basic trick, and most current tricks are based on it.

Now, we guarantee the following videos will be very interesting to you. Please watch those freestyle videos!

Conclusion

Did you see them all?

They totally look like a "sport" more than a "toy", don't they?

Actually there are a lot of people who play yo-yo as a sport.

But no one can be that good on their first try.

So, in the beginning you just need to have fun with your yo-yo as a toy, recreation, or hobby. =)

THEN, LET'S PLAY WITH A YO-YO ACTUALLY!!
