:o Yeah, you have a much better technique than what I was picturing in my head. Awesome!!
So, maybe one more video? Showcasing a blatently dying yoyo being regened back to spinning fast? (Not that I don’t believe it worked, but so we can officially declare this a regen)
will do
http://youtu.be/ySxVOm7971o it really only ups the speed to about twice the speed of a snapstart but i practice all my tricks from a snapstart so its fine, and i only just learned it so i will get better
I think that this is a really cool concept that I never would have thought of! I wonder if it counts as a restart in a contest if the yoyo hasn’t completely died yet. Mind if I email André with that question?
i dont mind, in fact i would appreciate it
Cool shirt.
Just sent him an email with links to the videos. I’ll let everyone know what he says.
That was a lot better than I really thought. I’m a skeptical person so I was gonna be blunt and say ‘No’ without even giving it a chance 'cause it just sounded really stupid at first. That really looks cool, though!
However…there’s gotta be lots of different variations depending on what yoyo you’re using.
I was trying it out with my MVP and given how that yoyo’s weight is distributed it’s almost impossible with that. But I hope I can make it work somehow.
I’ve been doing it on my trident witch has relatively pointy rims, and when i tried it on my flat rimed chaotic it was much easier, id like to try it on my mvp2 but i ran out of pads.
Reading the initial description of what you were posting, it sounded kind of like someone spinning a basketball on their fingertip, and not very doable, but after seeing the video I get it! Its actually really cool looking. Smooth tricks btw, that whole video was nice, not just the regen.
That was crazy.
That was way better than i thought it was going to be. I’m going to try that once i get home today. Also, nice tricks.
I hit my hand wrong and it gave me a bruise…
They said that judges at contests will only deduct points if the yoyo stops spinning completely, so this type of regeneration will not make you lose any points.
good to know, thank you
now if only there were some contests to go to
You can’t convince me unless you can do it with a YYF WHiP.
i gave my only whip to my brother like a week ago, will a popstar do?
I was a bit skeptical about it from the description by after seeing the vdeos, it actually looks a lot cooler than I thought it would. Would brushing the yoyo a few times in succession generate more spin?

it does just a little bit, but probably do to not hitting it right the first time(tried the popstar, its essentially impossible)
