Many people confuse this yo-yo trick with "walk the dog" but the "walk the plank" maneuver is nothing like it. Practice, time and concentration can help you catch on to this yo-yo trick. When done correctly, "walk the plank" will impress any audience.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Yo-yo
  1. Step 1

    Place loop of the yo-yo string on the third finger of your dominant hand.

  2. Step 2

    Hold the yo-yo on the sides between the thumb and pointer finger of the same hand.

  3. Step 3

    Grab the string with your other hand and stretch it all the way out. Raise the string higher than the yo-yo you are holding in your dominant hand. The string should come out from the yo-yo at the top, not the bottom.

  4. Step 4

    Place the yo-yo onto the string close to the dominant hand until it rests on the string on its axis.

  5. Step 5

    Release the yo-yo from your thumb and pointer finger.

  6. Step 6

    Slowly lift the dominant hand and lower the other hand so the yo-yo rolls down toward and away from the dominant hand. Make sure the yo-yo is rolling slowly so the string is actually winding up on the yo-yo and the yo-yo isn't just rolling along it.

  7. Step 7

    When the yo-yo reaches the end of the string, pick it up with the thumb and pointer of the non-dominant hand and let the yo-yo drop. Pull the yo-yo back up with your dominant hand until you get it going up and down again.
