Kind of a cup shot too. 🙂 Thanks x2 🙂 Also- I do not consider it a cup shot unless the yoyo is laying on its Side. Like the Code 2. Thats my input. Just a picture where you can see the side doesn’t really count. Again. In my own opinion. ---

My mom trashed them or donated them during a move I was away on a ship with my dad as he as returning from his deployment to Somalia in '93 (I got to take a tiger cruise from Hawaii to del mar California in the USS Juneau) and my mom made a mistake and they got thrown away or donated somewhere. Sad but not the worst thing in the world. ---

The pictures look amazing. I do, however, agree with everyone who thinks the string is a distraction. BTW… You call yourself an amatuer @kitebug? This is completely awesome. Did you, like, get an Orange and Black Summit and switch caps? If so, great idea. Unfortunately, I don’t have the money to get two Summits. ---
