Yes quite similar to when someone watches you playing a game and you die.

My suggestion is to get good at snap/hand starts, that way there’s little to no time for them to lose interest. I like to practice snap starting in the car.

So do I that is how I got good at it, lol

Don’t eat ice cream while yoyoing, you’ll spill it, you don’t wan that to happen

Always have good string tension, unlike me, or your yoyoing will look alittle less awesome looking, like my yoyoing

Hello zombie thread! =D

Edit: Just realized it’s a sticky, no wonder it zombie’d. =P

Heh. And that was last year.

Don’t ever stop throwing, even if you leave the forums for such a long time.

this is so true. I just learned boingy-boing, and haven’t been a forum regular for ages

don’t throw unless you want to

Thats a good one stephosh ;D

Having trouble getting a knot out? Use a needle to loosen it.

Having trouble with sloppy execution? Play kendama and or responsive for a while, then go back to your Draupnir. It will make a world of difference.

Having trouble getting a knot out? Get a new string (#lazyAmerican)

Have a lot of strings, too lazy to change, grab a different yoyo instead.
First world problem.

Don’t be embarrassed to throw. Most people will be impressed, even if you don’t think you are that good.

This is interesting. I’m going to pay attention to that breakaway tip now.
I’m glad to hear someone else mention not throwing so hard. I’ve been tinkering with modern responsive play and using a light touch is a big part of that style. I’ve found that it can be useful in non-responsive as well.
