In case any of you hadn’t seen this (I hadn’t!) I finally got an old stock No Jive with the full “Pumping Wood” booklet. I busted out my scanner and scanned it because I enjoyed it so much, and I thought others might too. ![tom-kuhn-pumping-wood-page-1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/7/2/e7223b09e3d0e377e1b79ef400bc80958a655bb3.jpeg) ![tom-kuhn-pumping-wood-page-2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/a/d/5adaa801363892df4645a4bdfbedb572c7234bf8.png) 😍 ---

I should mention I’ve already been a meathead with one of these… another reason I was happy to find some old stock with extra axle sleeves included (they come with 2 extra axles, plus some extra string) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/4/b/f4b97a697af4e087654dfbae7c2c8da6f9966347.png) ---

Thanks @codinghorror awesome upload. I enjoyed the read for sure. I have been wanting to get a no-jive for a while now. And when they pop up someone has snagged them already. But this makes me want one even more. ---

If you fill out the Registration Card and return it, they will send you a post card in the snail mail when new models are released. ---

Here’s another attempt at “scanning” the Tom Kuhn Pumping Wood instruction booklet, from a slightly different version.. I taped it to carpet and did my best! ![pumping-wood-front](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/c/0/5c0ccd5d24638ed842b97d82ecd9cbf302cad235.jpeg) ![pumping-wood-back](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/9/8/798467dca2e5fe4d0ae424c9620ff9b64616ee3b.jpeg)
