“Washing” your Rig

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

As you further venture into the development of newer and more technical tricks, the need to have a yo-yo that spins longer is necessary if you want to further explore stuff which you have never tried before. But some times, however, you may find it difficult to progress into advance tricks because your yo-yo was 1. too responsive, and 2. not sleeping long enough.
