I’ve seen it quite a couple times but I’ve no idea if it goes by a name or if it’s just a freestyle sort of thing, but it looks like the yoyo is suspended in the middle of an X formation of string? A great example can be found on the YYJ Vigilante product page. I’d love to learn a way into this mount if anyone has tips or a tut?

Sweet, thanks a lot, man :] That’s definitely a trick for the stillshot! Perhaps I’ll try and come up with a cleaner way to get into it once I fully understand it.
