I am currently working on a book with all the yoyo terminology that I know of. To help me out, I would like you all to help me with some things. I need: 1. A dictionary (I know there is one on here somewhere but I don’t know where) 2. A list of bearings (least-advanced to advanced) 3. A yoyo diagram 4. I would also like a picture and description for all the shapes of string trick yoyos (H-Shape, V-Shape, Organic, etc.) 5. List of all the styles of play 6. Anything else you find important. Other than that, I think I have it covered. After I finish it, I will post it here on the forums for everybody to see. ---

So people often say things about yo-yos, they’re smooth, they’re floaty, they’re fast, I like to say that some of them are gooey or solid. I’m also not exactly sure what floaty means. I would love to create a comprehensive list of these... ---

> [@redneckyoyoer3826](#): > > You aren’t supposed to bump a thread on the same day you made it. Really? That’s news to me. I just thought you couldn’t bump it twice in a day. And even that was only the BST. It was actually more than 2/3 down the page and once it’s there, nobody reads it. ---

Oh, wow, I didn’t know the rule went that far, LOL. I might have done that a few times before…sorry! I’ll be a good forum member and try to remember that, LOL. ---

I meant a profile picture with lines stating where this and that is. I guess I could just try to make one myself. And, I have already found the yoyowiki page (hence the strikethrough on that one) but thanks anyway.
