not bad for a first, but yeah, if u are gonna make a video make sure to edit all the mess up. keep at it you guys I can see a bright 4a future ahead of u btw there is nothing wrong doing 4a with a metal yoyo. u guys really care too much about your guys yoyo. Yoyo are meant to be played. If there isn’t 1 ding on it at least, that means u are not giving your yoyos any love. ---

Yah but if you treat a nice yoyo like crap it isn’t that nice of a yoyo after a little. the happy medium is using a 4a yoyo for 4a and use a metal yoyo for things like 1a and 3a and 5a. Just because yoyos should be played with doesn’t mean you bang nice yoyos around. If you have a ferrari and its a car and you drive cars doesnt mean you should drive it through mud and hail and whatever else will destroy a car. In closing god knows my yoyos hit the ground and walls enough when im doing just 1a. ---

EEeeek! i can see one point where its not good to be overly-carefull of your yoyos when they ARE meant to be played with, but i see NO reason to senselessly ding one up on purpose for street cred. _facepalm_ ---

Oookay so back to the video. Personally, I didn’t car for it. Don’t take offense, I don’t like many offstring styles. But allow me to offer a few explanations. You had location, which was good. There were a couple of interesting enviroments, which I see as a good quality. The tricks were fairly dry, just variations of whip catches for the most part. Mistakes were evident through the whole thing. Edit those out. If you can’t edit, wait to throw out the video. For first day offstring, you guys are good, but work on consistency. Good catch variations though. Interesting concepts, which I think highly of. ---
