Jamaican Flag

Jamaican Flag is one of the so-called picture tricks – tricks where the main focus is not only the yoyo movement, but also creating an interesting shape with the string. It is another step toward better string control and finger precision.

How to do Jamaican Flag

Start with a classic Sleeper throw. Then gradually catch the string with different fingers – first with one hand, then the other, until you create the basic structure of the trick. Finally, adjust your hand and finger positions so the string shape resembles the outline of the Jamaican flag.

Helpful tip
