26 Levels of Yo-Yo Tricks: Easy to Complex | WIRED
I have been “good” at yoyo for like 30 years. But I didn’t see much beyond the rocket. Love this break down. Maybe I’ll get not a $500 titanium yo but maybe a $30 unresponsive one.
Every level beyond level 3 feels like level 999 to me
I watched this video for the first time when I started my yo-yo journey. I think I had just figured out the bind. Now I’m all the way up to level 19. Love it.
The bind recovery on the 13 fail example is crazy good

I’m really having trouble with doing the side throw! 😮 Everytime I do it doesn’t spin straight and goes all out of wack! Any tips ?
I have this problem. Change your throw hand grip. It can feel weird but you just throw it. If the lean becomes worse change your grip the other direction
13:00
check the subtitles
lol
What did he say? Translation, please.
22:20 I understood nothing past this point 😭
Had a limited splash ano tom Kuhn SBII back in 2012. Ran into a high school friend. She asked if she could try it. Immediately walked the dog on asphalt.
It’s a good thing she was moving across the country that same week, because I didn’t care if I ever saw her again after that 😂🤣😂😂😂
What’s the music at 0:10
stuck at level 8
Cool!
4 years later, I feel he jumped into unresponsive yo-yoing a little early
One thing he doesnt say here is responsive yoyos are far more cheaper. So idk if it hits the ground. 😊
My yoyo keeps spinning the wrong way bro 😭
Did you know that if you set your yo-yo to the side of your body and then turn around then mount your yo-yo onto the trapeze and then take your slipknot off your finger, then get into the binding motion and then letting him go over the yo-yo before you finish the bind then it will wind back up and then you can just catch it in the air
honestly, i’d buy a titanium yoyo just to walk the dog because of the sparks it’ll make
song name?
