I used to be pretty big into yo-yo and I could actually do a lot of the things in there that involved balancing the yo-yo on the string. It's called cradeling, and the possibilities are endless. Then I broke all of my fingers when I got them slammed in a door and haven't been able to get full movement back ever sense, and I really miss it.

Fun thing to do, I started when I was in first grade. A professional came to our school and had a little convention and we all learned how to do the basic things. From there, I bought a lot of videos and just learned. Trick is to keep the thing spinning on the bar between the yo-yo. And keep it lubed up like mad, so it glides when wind blows it. Oh well, you guys probably don't care. Awesome video and I never could do the elipse and around the world type trips because I would always hit my self in the head....so I stuck to the fancy tricks, kinda like street skating compared to vert.

crazy, this is what happenes when you pack millions of ppl on a small tinney space so they can't do stuff like race quads, play paintball.. they are forced to do stuff like play video games and play with yo-yos.... crazy

I still remember when that Yomega yo yo fad hit the world by storm, I bought a brainstorm (has ball bearings and spring system to make it spin longer) and that thing was sick fun to use, I think I still have it somewhere. Eiffel Tower was my favourite trick.

the brain and the x brain were designed to return on them selves, it actually cut your sleeping time by a good few seconds.


I had both of em, and it was cool that it would return on its own, but it was a ***** when you were doing a trick and it zipped back and smacked you in your hands.

my current yoyo is a cp axel elite

i also own "da bomb"

both are amazing yoyos

[Jack & Coke]

If you could have any yo-yo (regardless of price). what would it be?
