Break Away |
The "Breakaway" is just another name for throwing the yo-yo sideways. It's used to start side mounted tricks like "Man on Flying Trapeze", "Double or Nothing", etc. It is fundamental to any one of the side mounted tricks. When you throw a "Breakaway", the yo-yo travels parallel to your shoulders.

|
Hold the yo-yo at about shoulder level and make a muscle. Pretend you're flexing your biceps. |

|
The yo-yo rolls off the tip of the middle finger. |

|
It travels to the left of your body. |

|
The yo-yo begins to travel parallel to the shoulders across the body. |

Once the yo-yo has reached the end of the string, give it a slight tug and return it to the hand. |
