OK I have been searching and all I can find is white or blue slick 8 yo-yo strings. I am wondering that if I got white if I could use a marker to color it?

I'd give it a go. I'm not finding instructions on how one would do this.

I have been having a lot of fun lately just mostly playing around with Barrel Rolls and Brain twisters. I'm just taking it easy and learning at my own speed. Not competing with anyone. I could try learning to do the MACH 5 next or the Split the Atom that he mentions in the video.

This is split the Atom. It is very different then the Brain Twister but to the uneducated onlooker it looks almost identical.

I'm thinking about making another yo-yo order soon mostly because I need some parts that I don't have. I have worn-out a pair of response pads in one of my yo-yos and probably will be doing so with another soon and I don't have any replacements. Of course I wouldn't mind getting another yo-yo as well.

I was doing MACH 5s today for the first time without much problem other then I was using my Proto Star which is a plastic yo-yo with metal rings. The Mach 5 slows it down to much so you can't get many rotations. With a metal yo-yo it should be much better. Next I will probably move on to Pop N' Fresh.

I just sent for a Magic yoyo T8 Shadow. I've been wanting one for a long time. They are an inexpensive yoyo but hard to get at times and seem very good. I already have there T5 OverLord.

Great video. Good framing and very clear.

I just cracked the secret of INSIDE LOOPS for me. I have been working on inside loops for a very long time. I could usually throw 3 and some times as many as 5 in a row. I was watching some people do them in videos and noticed something. I just restrung a Speed Beetle with slick 8 and tried the different way. I was throwing 5 loops in a row after 5 loops in a row, after 5 loops in a row. If you get it in your head that looping is like a forward pass it can really trip you up. They are not as close to the same thing as they make them out to be.

Cool, it's neat that you have this one figured out.
