Hi,
Youve made a good, promising start. How long have you been yoyoing?
I especially like how easily you got into the 1/2 mount, it causes alot of problems usaually for beginners.
The only thing is that at some points it is quite hard to see your string. Try to use coloured strings that dont blend in with the background and maybe have a bit better lighting.
Overall a great first video and good luck with future tricks!

Thanks! I have been yoyoing for about 2.5 months. I’m using my mom’s digital camera, so i think that seeing the string (green atm) is out of the question. Thanks a lot though!

How in the world did you get the yoyo to go sideways??? It’s like some awesome-weird gyro flop!

You mean the first trick?
I call it a gyroscopic mach 5. You do it by going into mach five and doing one full rotation (ending with throw hand on top) then (if you’r right handed) turn string to left gently. You need to experiment with how hard to pull string, but you’ll get it down with practice ;D.

Yeah. I can only get the string on camera when the camera is 1-2 feet away. So come X-mas, I’ll get a camcorder (mabey), then I can get the string.

Great job on the vid!
Even though your just starting, you have really good form and hit all your tricks perfectly. I really like your style.
Oh, and just like Gorrilla\_YO, your better than my brother aslo! And you’ve been yoyoing for a MUCH shorter time than him!
Keep it up!

Thanks all! sorry i haven’t responded for a while. It’s a stock kickside with 50/50 string (I think).
