Hop the fence is a relatively simple trick, that can be tried, once you can do Throw Down. It is what is called a regeneration, because the yo-yo is accelerated again and again by slinging it over your throw hand, without catching it.
This is a good exercise to prepare for learning Loop the Loop. Unlike Loop the Loop, the yo-yo does not turn around. That is why you have to jump back and forward, so the yo-yo always unwinds away from your throw hand.
Instructions[]
 |
Step 1: Do a Throw Down. When you bring the yo-yo back up, do not catch it,... |
 |
Step 2: ...but pull your hand backwards, and let the yo-yo's inertia... |
 |
Step 3: ...carry it around your hand. Jerk your hand downwards a little, slinging the yo-yo... |
 |
Step 4: ...over your throw hand, towards you. The slinging motion pulls on the string, and starts the yo-yo spinning in the opposite direction. |
 |
Step 5: Sling it... |
 |
Step 6: ...down... |
 |
Step 7: ...down... |
 |
Step 8: ...and, shortly before it reaches the end of the string, tug upwards on the string... |
 |
Step 9: ...causing the yo-yo... |
 |
Step 10: ...to come back again. |
 |
Step 11: This time bring your hand forward... |
 |
Step 12: ...slinging the yo-yo again... |
|
Step 13: ...over your hand. This is the same slinging motion as in steps 3 through 5, only this time away from you. |
 |
Step 14: Forward and... |
 |
Step 15: ...down again. |
 |
Step 16: Once again pull on the string, and repeat from step 1, or catch like from a Throw Down. See how many times you can do this in a row. Unlike a Loop the Loop, the string does not twist, so theoretically you can do this forever. :-)
