I got a Yoyojam Classic today because I thought I would end up doing 5a on it, but it hurts my hand to much. I ended up just using my PSG instead. Also, go on youtube. Go to Miguel Correa’s Channel. He has the best 5a tutorials ever. ---

I got my classic today and it is a lil awkward for sure. But I’m staring to get the hang of it. Just have to watch more vids. ---

> [@atombomb3r](#): > > How did you mod the classic??? You can’t “Mod” it. You can simply upgrade the inferior internals such as: Change out the Half Bearing for a Wider Bearing Change the Black O-rings for CBC Pads. ---

Yea I changed the bearing to a flat speed bearing I had…also changed to response to the spare pads that came with my dv888 but I prefer monkey snot over pads any day of the week. ---
