For starters, I’m not a pro by any means. In fact, I’m barely starting all over again. Last week, I can barely throw a straight sleeper nor can I consistently bring it back up. I tried doing “walk the dog” and I can’t pull it back up.

When these people asked me to do the trick at school, I responded with “I’m barely starting out. I couldn’t even throw the yo-yo down properly to “walk the dog.”” They just laughed at my incompetence. Now that I can throw the sleepers more straight and pull the yo-yo back better, I’d gladly do the trick for them.

I avoid this one. I’m too precious about sounding precious. :wink:

“Oooooo he’s going to SCRATCH his YOYO” I hear Nelson, Kearney, and Dolph saying…

I usually say no, but then I do the craziest grind i can (usually a thumb to finger to arm grind).
