Thanks for all the comments directed my way! I would not have felt inclined to share my yoyoing had GregP not held that old folks battle so you can either thank or blame him. ;D Really glad to hear that you are still inspired to carve and share your spinning tethered art, Purplepottamus! I’d give you a major award if I could. =] Its a good time to fix your axle with all these inspiring vids and yoyos! ---

I was bummed we were down to 1, but now all is right in the world! Hehe, nice! My youngest daughter got me one for Christmas a couple years ago. I have also broken one and was really bummed, but she got me another. I should get a couple extra. > [@edhaponik](#): > > love that vid. honored to be referenced (unless you’re friends with ed “too tall” jones and he actually did fix your yo-yo for you). > > …TooTallCard.jpg. > > really liked that a-minus/restart stuff. fresh. Thanks Ed! You’re a big (not too tall) inspiration and I love your vids. I’m guessing that a-minus is the no spin play? If not then A- is pretty rad grade and I’m happy with that. Can I get a star sticker too? ;D ---

My kickflip suicide consistency seems to still be changing a lot. Some days I’ll hit 2 in 3 all day, others I’ll only get 1 in 4. I’ll get it down 100% eventually haha.
