The below post was the beginning of a grand project that ultimately failed.  Our hope was to catalog every yo-yo trick we could find on video, but we knew from the beginning that it was something that we couldn’t do alone.  It turned out that virtually no one was interested in the project, and certainly no one wanted to help make it happen, so it was abandoned.

Since May of 2004 the HowToYoYo.com staff and Yo-yo Pros have been working on a running list of all of the yo-yo tricks that exist. We have now begun the process of gathering videos of all of the tricks so that anyone with computer access can see and learn any yo-yo trick.In addition to being a good learning tool we also hope that this yo-yo trick catalog will be a valuable resource for people who have been yo-yoing for years and know so many tricks that they can?t remember them all.

The ultimate goal is to catalog every single yo-yo trick, but at first we will have to be limited to tricks that have names. Later on, we hope to be able to catalog tricks with no names as well.

We invite all yo-yo players to look at the list and submit any tricks that aren?t there, suggest alternate names for tricks, and any other corrections or additions that may be needed.

Guidelines:

• For now, only tricks with names will be accepted, and they should be tricks and names that are known by more than a handful of players.
• Combos may be submitted, but for now, only combos that have been on contest trick lists, or are widely known and are recognizable by most players.
• Please look at the list before you submit any trick names to be sure that what you are submitting is not already there.

We thank you for your time and contributions, and hope that this will be a valuable tool for everyone.
