simple, not really techy but looks fun. I think this idea isn’t as original as you’d like to believe but it’s great to see you’re in the phase of creating tricks. keep going!

I was just messing around, and the string was wrapped around the yoyo a few times, so I tried to untangle and BAM. This.

the houdini mount is the only reason the string wraps up the yoyo. without a houdini mount, it wouldn’t work.
