If you don’t have a responsive yoyo, you might be able to make a non-responsive one responsive with too much lube or Vaseline in the bearing. ---

That will work _provided_ it’s not too wide, in my experience. Really wide “responsive” yo-yos are… uh… _no bueno_ ---

That makes me think…is each contestant required to use the same yoyo for the entire two minutes? Some yoyos will make some of those tricks easier and won’t work as well with others. i.e. washing machine is probably _easier_ on a wider yoyo. ---

Our original idea was for the routine to be done with a single yoyo and without clips edited together. I think that wouldn’t be that restrictive, since the yoyo you need to use is responsive after all. ---

So I’m not sure how to interpret that. 🙂 A single yoyo is the rule? ---

Man I haven’t seen that video in a while, it’s what sparked my passion for yo-yoing. It’s funny I can remember seeing Doc Pop doing the matrix as a kid thinking “I wonder if I’ll never be good for enough to land that” haha. I look forward to seeing how all this turns out. 😀 ---

> [@andy569](#): > > never having used one or done a forward pass in my life. I missed this earlier. No forward pass? Come on, friend! Get on the responsive trolley! You’re missing a whole world. Honest to god, flyaway dismounts remain one of the funnest ways to end a trick. Not everything should require a bind. Responsive is good times. ---
