you need to spin the tires the other direction, like winding up a yo-yo

Not so much a yo-yo... more like those little cars you have to pull back to make them go forward... But more string like a yo-yo...

Anyway, yeah, did you try reverse? You're probably at the end of your string and need to coil it back up. Try reverse for a while, then forward.
