Correction
and, the bottom line is, for the most part they're just for looks.
2.. I had a lot of people ask me do I really need my caps in, do I need to keep them in and if you'll notice a lot of times I'll actually play with my yo-yo, one cap out and one cap in.
Correction
 I have had a lot of people ask me "do I really need my caps in and do I need to keep them in?" If you'll notice a lot of times I'll actually play with my yo-yo, one cap out and one cap in.
3.Sometimes you can do tricks where you actually can balance the yo-yo on the cap or you can do tricks that you'll see in the advanced section where you can grind the yo-yo on your actual thumb just like so and with the caps in, it makes it little more difficult, so I actually remove the caps.

corrected

If I had to pick one trick out of all the tricks I'm going to teach you guys I had to call my all time favorite, it's probably going to be Gyroscopic Flop. It's so cool. What you're doing is actually changing the orientation of the yo-yo, it's spinning sideways, it's turning which way it's going, it's cool. There's two ways to do it. The easier way to do it's actually just from a trapeze. You take your throw hand and you actually just go over the yo-yo like that and by pulling the yo-yo will change its axis and then you can bind it back. Now that's impressive looking but it just kind of looks like you're loosing control of the yo-yo I feel. You really can't go that long with it. Another way to do this where you do have control is actually to whip the string onto the yo-yo and then pull and you'll notice that now I have the two strings coming around and I can control the yo-yo spinning. Basically, you can make this go for as long as you want and then when you're ready, if just look into the side of the gap. You can see which side the strings on to release it. So that's Gyroscopic Flop. Let me show you real quick how this is done. You actually want to make a motion similar to plastic whip. You want to hold the string over your thumb and middle finger like we did for plastic whip and you actually you just whip as if you were doing plastic whip except you whip the yo-yo in midair. So go learn plastic whip first if you haven't already but it's the same motion. You're going to hold the yo-yo up though and whip it. So now I've got my plastic whip kind of, over, I've got my non throw hand thumb and pointer up here. I've got my throw hand on the other side and this is where I grab. I grab this and pull and this is what causes the yo-yo to start rotating around. As it does, you just kind of pull towards one side. It takes a little practice to get the feel for it but eventually you will. Watch from the center here as I take my hand, I pull it, it starts circling and I kind of guide it with my throw hand as I do it. Once again, it just takes practice and timing to get the feel for it. The last step is simply the dismount. When you go around stop, you look in the gap of the yo-yo. My string is on my right; it's on your left since you're watching it from the thing. So I just pull to that side and the string is released by the spin of the yo-yo. If you go just once around it's going to be the other way, I just simply pull to the other side, releases it and that's Gyroscopic Flop.

Ladder Escape Part 1

Try that one more time, Ladder Escape.

You will see there's lot of elements to this, so sometimes even I'll miss one element in the trick.
 
And from this, this is why this allows you to kinda pop the yo-yo in and out and do kind of like the tricks that we were just -- that I was just showing you a second ago.

From there your thumb is going to be twisted, so you want to point it out--point it out, take your thumb, pick that string up and from there you're going to be able to create the Ladder Mount. One more time, for Ladder Mount, I've swung the yo-yo in towards my body, take my throw hand pointer, twist in up and over, put my thumb in here, use my pointer finger until I land the yo-yo on the string farthest from me, untwist, pick up with the thumb and you're there.

CORRECTED

Next trick we are going to do is Thumb Grind Transfer. If you didn't learn Thumb Grind yet, go learn that cause obviously you need to learn Thumb Grind to be able to do Thumb Grind Transfer. Thumb Grind Transfer looks like this. You're popping the yo-yo up, you're catching it on one string and transferring it to the other hand. This allows you to do two things. It allows you keep it going longer because you can only go so far with just one hand, it will slid off. So this allows you to keep going longer and it actually gives you a little more control. Because from there to there you can get both hands in there and control a little longer you'll get more spin time out of it. I find I am able to do it a lot longer when I switch hands. So that's Thumb Grind Transfer. Let me show the easiest way to get into it that I've found. I usually, I'll start from a trapeze when I'm first learning and this time you take your dominant hand and start the Thumb Grind. So start from that, like that, get the feel for it, that's important. You want to be able to do a Thumb Grind with both hands cause last time we focused on a non dominant hand. So from a trapeze once again, bring your thumb into it. Practice getting that solid. Then when you're ready to put everything all together what you're going to do is start with your left hand or your non dominant hand cause mine is my left. I bring my thumb into it, control it, and when it's just about there from your body, it's at a right angle kind of to your body. That's when you take your other hand and place it a kind of switch move as this one coming out you twist your thumb this way and bring this thumb into here like that. The yo-yo will balance and sit around as it goes around and you'll be ready to the trick. So let me show what this looks like one more time from here, put your thumb in, bring your right thumb in, twist around and then you can bind return. That's the Thumb Grind Transfer. Let me show you one more time. Pop it up, pop it up. There's different variations, you'll notice I hooked it in between my thumb. Play around with it. It's not important how you get out of it. Just that you can transfer. That was Thumb Grind Transfer.

We're going to work on the "Drop int he bucket" mount again. If you don't remember what it looked like, it was this move: We brought your hands over, then we brought the string, and you blamed the yo-yo into it. Now, there's a cooler way to do that. It's form a "jade whip". So go learn "jade whip" if you've haven't already. If you have, great. "Jade whip" is this move;what you're doing is combining the two. What you're doing is, you're whipping, like so, but instead of whipping the yo-yo, you actually bring your underneath from behind. It's from your dominant hand side.You bring it underneath the yo-yo string, and pull it into that loop, just like so. So it comes from behind, into that loop, you open it up, and the yo-yo swings around and lands on that center string, just like so. Let me show you again. Then move itself, at full speed, looks like this. It's a really smooth move. That lands it right into a bucket mount. So one more time, as the string's coming over, your hand's coming from behind. Your two fingers, your thumb, and your pointer finger on your non-dominant hand spreads that string open, and then you're in a basic bucket mount. You just have to land it into the center, like so. It's like this. So, "jade whip", you miss with the yo-yo, you bring your hand up, down, open it up, and land it. That is the "jade whip-bucket mount" combination. Practice that, because the next trick that we're going to get into uses this.

The next trick we are going to work on is called Bucket Hops. We are going to use the mount that we used in the last video. If you're having a hard with that mount you can skip it. You don't have to learn it. I just think its a really smooth way to get into things but you can do this trick from a regular Bucket Mount like so. The trick itself, let me show you what it looks like in full speed. I'm going to use the mount I just taught you. It goes like this. You land it over and hit and then you bounce like that. It's a really cool looking trick, it's really fast and with a little practice you can really control the speed, the height, and you know it just makes it really impressive. So, to get into it. Do your Jade Whip Bucket Mount like so. Comes over, you hit, land it in, just like that. The trick itself isn't too hard. What you're doing is you're actually pulling apart your hands at the same time. You use your pointer and your thumb on your non throw hand to pull one way and you use the pointer on your throw hand to pull the other way. This will shoot the yo-yo up into the air. Hops it up and down to the string and just practice doing that. That's all the trick is itself is hopping up and down. With a little practice it will turn into what looks more like Boing Boing move. You can really get it to bounce up and down. If you notice I am using a lot less of my throw hand. It's mostly my non throw hand that's making the action happen. That's all there is to it. So one more time, Jade Whip into a Bucket Mount like so. You hop it up. I believe when this was a compulsory trick in the contest you had to do five repetitions of it. So aim for five, it's a good number. Two, three, four, five, it shows you have control and shoot back out and catch. That's Bucket Hops.
