I started yo-yoing about 5 months ago. I really love it. I recently won some yo-yos in a contest and decided to make a video. My favorite picture trick is Pacman. Also featured is a combo I call Atari. I am not the most advanced. Tips on video making and yoyoing are welcome. First Post yay!

I liked the combo. I guess as far as yoyoing advice… try to use more arm and less wrist on your breakaway. It’ll save you from future wrist pain/injury. ---

Or is there another Farmington in New Mexico… About the yoyoing itself, picture tricks don’t generally score high in competitions. IMO the combo looked the same as the pic trick just with a few pops. ---

IMO the combo looked the same as the pic trick just with a few pops. There’s a Farmington in New Mexico. I probably wouldn’t do this in a competition. Think what you will of the combo, it really is a few pops, and a slack with the pic trick at the end. Thanks for watching and giving advice. Much appreciated. ---

Think what you will of the combo, it really is a few pops, and a slack with the pic trick at the end. Thanks for watching and giving advice. Much appreciated. I gotcha now. As just a picture trick, I like it a lot 🙂 ---
