I used to have a lot of fun with my yo-yo, I kinda lost interest after a while but I think I'm gonna try it out again. My favorite trick was Split the Atom, it took me a long *** time to learn but it was worth it.

Check this guy out, he has a ton of videos posted on tricks from beginner to pro difficulty.

You know these things were originally considered weapons, right? Well, I guess you do now.

Flick the yoyo down. When it's closest to the floor, pull it back up. Hopefully. It will return to you in one piece.
