I haven't flown an Air-Yo in awhile, but one of the tricks I was doing was basically a 360, without the "triangle"..

Basically you have to turn your body in a circle, trying to maintain a steady tension on the line to make the AirYo do a big circle around you.

Another cool "trick", is when you get the AirYo to be out in front of you on its side (so it looks like a big O, which usually happens when the wind catches it) and flick down... the AirYo will go side to side..

I've discovered that a lot of the tricks (especially the ones overhead) are easier if you flick down like a yo-yo.
