Breakaway

Breakaway is one of the basic throws and is extremely important for yoyoing. Almost all tricks come from Trapeze and to master Trapeze you need to be a master of Breakaway.

Catch the yoyo again as if you were throwing a Sleeper, raise your hand up, but this time not in front of you but next to you. Do not throw the yoyo directly under you but aim the throw away from you. It often helps to turn it to the side a little. It is important to throw the yoyo straight again. Once you throw the yoyo from your hand, let it swing in front of you and when it reaches shoulder height, jerk it back into your hand.
