I used Youtube’s “annotations” feature to break a trick up into sections. This way you can see the name of each move in real time, along with tutorial links to each move in the description.

I hadn’t seen yo-yoers do this before so I thought I’d share the idea here. Attached is a screenshot of the feature in action, but you can see the actual video on youtube here:

I really need to do a better tutorial for those. I shot a really in-depth tutorial a few years back, but it’s really hard to see the string in it.
