Walk the Dog

Basic / Responsive. The starter style. You use a yoyo that comes back when you tug the string.

How to do it

  1. Throw a strong sleeper.
  2. Lower the spinning yoyo gently down to the floor.
  3. Let it roll forward like a pet on a leash.
  4. Lift your hand and tug to bring it back before it stops spinning.

Tips

Use a smooth floor. Just touch — don't push down.

The physics

The spinning yoyo grips the floor a little, and that grip rolls it forward.

Elements

  • sleeper
  • ground-contact
