Just in time for #5AMay, I’ve uploaded a new [PopCast video](https://youtu.be/5YtEdb6fKxA) all about Astro style. Astro is a sub-style of counterweight play where the player has two weights, one tethered and the other is sliding. This style is also sometimes called Double Dice, which is a sub-style of Astro were both of the weights are of the same size.

I know there are a few Astro counterweight sets on the market, but if you have access to a 3D printer, you can just print up your own set of Mark I or Mark II astro weights [from my Github page](https://github.com/docpop/Astro). These files are remixable and the license allows for anyone to print and sell them. Just send me set if you end up selling some. I’ve also made [this video](https://youtu.be/wQupSLYuWQs) if you are having trouble figuring out how to assemble your Astro weights.

Since a bunch of y’all bought a set of [Bishop Counterweights](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/products/bishop-counterweight-by-doc-pop?_pos=1&_sid=8937bd094&_ss=r&variant=41162776281278) last week, I wanted to bring back this old PopCast video about Astro Style yo-yoing.
