Hey y’all, I’ve been working on a new collaboration with the folks at Rain City Skill Toys. It’s a slimline responsive yo-yo called the “Pop Art” and it’s designed specifically for counterweight play. The yo-yo will be available on YoYoExpert this Thursday, July 9th. To celebrate, I’ve started making a series of tutorials for responsive freehand play. The first two are up now and I’ll keep making them as long as y’all keep watching them.

I just added the rest of the series to this post. So all five episodes are listed. This is a great place to start learning the basics of responsive freehand. ---

I just added the 6th tutorial to this playlist. The other tutorials are mostly for concepts, but this one is a full trick. Check it out here [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/4/b/d4be52799eadf3b506bd5b803894526f86bdd8c6.jpeg "Responsive Counterweight Tutorial #6: Fibonacci Sequence") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFJ1y-nVCJs) ---

7th tutorial in the Responsive Freehand series is up. This one is called Kashakas. [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/a/b/dab6987d7fe50403900f56f0296276030345db07.jpeg "Responsive Counterweight #7: Kashakas") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6-S4i03URE) ---

Back with another responsive counterweight tutorial. This one is a fun aerial maneuver called the Flirt Flip. [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/e/0/5e03037c1310303d46cea98496aee896360a180d.jpeg "Responsive Counterweight #8: Flirt Flips") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11uFPCx1g0E) I’ve heard that this responsive 5A style looks very intimidating, but I hope more people give it a try. It’s really not that bad and you don’t need to already be good at 5A or modern responsive to get started. ---
