Sky Rocket

Sky Rocket is a spectacular trick that works especially well as a freestyle or performance ending. The trick itself is simple, but the important part is releasing the string at the right moment and catching the yoyo safely.

An Impressive Freestyle Finish

Sky Rocket is a trick that is perfect for the end of a freestyle or performance. There is actually nothing complicated about the rocket itself — simply throw a Sleeper, remove the loop from your finger, and pull upwards. The key is to release the string at the right moment and catch the yoyo when it comes back down.

Which Yoyo Should You Start With?

The best choice for beginners is a responsive yoyo—a yoyo that returns to your hand with a simple tug. You don't need to worry about advanced techniques yet. Just focus on making a good throw, keeping the yoyo spinning, and bringing it back to your hand.
