About this trick
When you're fairly new to yoyoing, this trick is good to learn to help you build up hand-eye coordination.  Plus, when you start learning to improvise and just do whatever moves pop into your head as you yoyo, this is a cool thing to just throw into the mix every now and then.

Hey Kyle, first thanks for the site, and all the tutorials, they are the best on the net I think.
Oliver Twist, I keep getting into some weird Gyro Flop. When I spin the yo around clockwise I get a wrap around axle/bearing, and it become a gyro flop(sort of). Sometimes it(the twist) has worked and I can not figure out what is going wrong, or what I am doing right when it works rarely ? Any ideas ?
Im still very noob yoyo'r so forgive my ignorance.

Hey Mike, thanks very much! That's so cool to hear :)

I had that same problem when I learned Oliver Twist. The key to performing this trick is simple to do, but a little hard to explain. When you swing the yoyo clockwise, make sure it swings on the INSIDE of your throwhand arm to the RIGHT (or left if you're a lefty) of your throwhand. Practice doing that and if you still don't understand exactly what should go on, let me know.

Hey thanks Kyle.
Still getting the better of me, not too worried though, I am progressing in other areas.
I got somersaults both ways and will in time come back to the twist, your breakdown is/are brilliant, so no problem there. Its all the yo'er.
Peace.

Nailed it. Not super awesome like you yet but I can hit it at will now.
And the best part is I figured out what was happening to make it go wrong in the first place.
You are so smooth Kyle, my only critique I guess, your too smooth lol, I couldn't really tell what was going on with the throw hand, there's a movement there but you do it so suttle ?
No worries though go it now.
I have had a good day of yo, thanks in part to you.
Peace again bud.

I can't do it, yoyo just goes off the string and goes into Breakaway(Do you call Breakaway only the act of throwing yoyo, or also whe3n it sleeps side-style?) as I do clockwise swing between my arm and body. :(

Hi Kyle,
I've finally got it! ^^ If anyone have the problem with yoyo going off the string while swing, try to keep hands closer to each other while preforming trick.
PS Those tutorials are awsome, thanks Kyle. ;)

Hey man, sorry that I never got back to you! I'm very happy and impressed that you learned it on your own, though. Good on ya. Keep up the good work, and thank you for the kind words about the tutorials. :)

Oh and by the way... Breakaway is sort of an interchangeable term... I think more properly it's the throw and catch that arcs from one shoulder to the other, but people still know what you mean if you mean throwing a sideways sleeper.
