One day i was helping out at a dance recital (my parents made me :-[ ugh) and there was a 10 minute intermission, the teacher was like " go entertain them for 10 minutes so they dont go nuts " and i was like OK!!! and i got my yoyo and went down into a the basment packed full of 4-10 year olds and i was like " ok everybody! im gonna yoyo! WATCH ME!!! " and so i began doing some more complex tricks like spirit bomb, kwijibo and stuff like that and they didnt make much noise so i was like “…” then im like  
" heres rock the baby " and they all went nuts…then i did dizzy baby and walk the dog and they were practically bouncing off the walls, so i did those last 3 tricks for like 5 minutes straight…im sick of everybody wanting to see walk the dog so badly, i can do things SO much better than that but thats all people wanna see! WHY?! lol

I guess people wants to see those tricks because they are familiar with them. I really get annoyed by people asking that. You spend a lot of time learning this wicked complicated trick, and people just want to see walk the dog.

I dont mind… I kind of like to mix it up some… If im over concrete Im not going to walk my DM so if its like a younger kid Im like I cant walk the dog, but I can make the monkey run up my arm, Then just throw a forward pass and pop it up into a grind that goes up my arm. And if its some one older I just say that I dont want to jack up my rims on the ground and they usualy settle for grinds and other tricks.

3 pages :D. So today I was doing McBride roller coaster and this guy walked up to me (this is in the mall and people were watching) and he’s like do the kwijibo. I was like :o. The first person to know a kool yoyo tricks name! Unfortunately I dont know how to do it so he was like “oh, ok.” The people were like what the heck are you talking about? Then I did the matrix, everyone was like “…”, so I thought what would happen if I do a simple elavator and everyone went krazy like a slave just one the lottery.
