Talk:Winding
From YoYo Wiki
Another cool way to wind is to set the yo on the ground (so it stands vertically pointing away from you). Then put a bit of pressure on it with your foot (no muddy shoes!) and apply some tension to the string with your hand. As you pull the string up, snap down with your foot a bit as the yo releases, setting it spinning backwards. I can almost wind up my yo directly this way.
Just another way to break up the winding monotony when you're practicing.
