Sleeper

The same beginning as the Throw-down, with three changes:
1) Bring your elbow up above your nose before you throw so you can get maximum power.
2) Keep your wrist really loose
3) Instead of throwing the yo-yo straight down, throw it almost straight out in front of you so that when it reaches the end of the string it swings out behind you. If the yo-yo goes straight down it is more likely to bounce when it hits the end of the string, and that makes it harder to get it to sleep.

Tips:
- You will need to pay attention to String Adjustment, especially if you are using a fixed axle yo-yo. It’s less important with a transaxle yo-yo, but still matters.
- It is much easier to get a transaxle yo-yo to sleep than a fixed axle yo-yo, and they sleep longer too. If you want to get good at tricks that involve long sleepers, you should get a transaxle yo-yo.
