If you didn’t know, there’s a style of yo-yoing called counterweight (or 5a) where instead of tying the string to your hand you tie it to a weight which allows for some rather interesting tricks.

Oi thats sick as fuck.
Its kinda like contact poi or something.
Haha yea! There are people who do poi that also yo-yo and they’re much better than I am at this style it’s like watching someone use nunchucks
I can do the basics of poi. I learned years ago but then kind of stopped practicing so I've been slowly dipping my toes back in. Things have gotten much more techie since I last actively practiced. 😅
I can definitely see the skill set translating over to that style of yoyo though. Granted, I'm crap with the yoyo.
One day you should post some of your poi :) it would be cool to see it! Closest thing to a poi trick I can do with the yo-yo is called a tangler. I believe it’s named after a poi trick of the same name. Once I get a bit better at it I’ll post it :)
duuuuuude
Ok
🤙
You make it look effortless.
Thank you! It doesn’t always go this cleanly, sometimes I whack myself with the weight 😂
That’s gangster
