Don’t go so fast, it isn’t necessary. You look like you are forcing yourself to go fast which doesn’t look good so just go slow and smooth for now. Also you have green string+green shirt= ☹ do not do that it is hard for audience/judges to see the string. Your yoyo was red and so was your background which also is not good. But green yoyo with red string with red background and green shirt would work. ALso (I don’t know if you chose background) the flashing red background was VERY distracting, you want people to focus on your yoyo not the background. Your music was pretty good but close to the edge. By “the edge” I mean where it has so many words it gets distracting and people sing along or try to listen to the words. That is why people like dubstep, electric etc.

Background was very distracting.
