I seen it on a video for the ‘Jamboo’, the kid is pullin off some sweet tricks and at 0:42- 0:45 he does a trick that makes the YoYo Pivot around the sting in his hand. I have seen many variations of this trick and wanted to know what some of the names where. Please help 🙂

Hi - the trick you saw in that video was called Gyroscopic Flop (see: [YoYoExpert.com - Expert - Gyroscopic Flop](http://yoyoexpert.com/learn/067-expert-gyroscopic-flop.html)).

well good luck 🙂 but its harder than it seems. It is quite hard to get the hang of, but once you can do it, its quite easy to pull off.
