Shop Ground Rules

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

In response to the recent comments made by fellow shop owners and concerned parents, we at Spinworkx would like to set some ground rules for those who wish to play outside the Spinworkx store near the Players Cafe.

  1. Do not play INSIDE the shop.
  2. Bags are not to be left lying around inside the shop, it is unsightly and we are not responsible for stolen items.
  3. No sitting in the middle of the shop, please understand that this is a place of business and sitting in the middle of the store only disrupts the shopkeeper’s work.
  4. Please respect the space of others, do not block the walkways where customers commute.
  5. Refrain from playing near the Dance School, any damages to other shop property will result in severe consequences.
  6. Strictly NO SKATEBOARDING is allowed, skating inside Suntec City Mall is forbidden and thus we would like all of you to abide by these rules.
  7. DO NOT ENTER THE SHOPKEEPER’S AREA AT ALL TIMES.

Please do co-operate with us on this, it’s good enough that we’ve manage to secure a space inside the mall for you guys to play. Should there be further complains, we’ll have to revert back to the old rule of playing at the Sky Garden once more.

Understand that we like the fact that some of you consider Spinworkx as a second home, but at the end of the day do remember that this is still a store, not a home. =)

Cheers!

Axle problems?

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

Oh axles! They are an extremely important part of the yoyo; they are the screw that holds it together. Unfortunately, sometimes they can have problems.  Two of the most common problems are over tightening and the axle slipping to one side.  These two problems can be easily prevented or fixed.
