You have the same problem as me, you seem to pause between elements from time to time.

Awesome though. Your suicides are amazing.

Man, I remember when you just some shmuck with a yoyo. You were progressing relatively quickly, remarkably quickly, even. It was really great to track your progress. Your website and posts on forums had a profound impact on the community.

Your tricks are legit. Alot of risk in them, and it pays off. That video was as well done as all your others, presenting the tricks cleanly. You’re also a really genuine guy.

And to think, its only been a year.
