It's been an amazing year.  It was exactly one year ago today that Rethinkyoyo was launched.  In that time, over 65 tutorials were made, dozens of people sent me emails asking for help, giving thanks or offering suggestions, and I've personally made quite a few friends from all over the place.  My hope is that this little project will continue to grow and help more people.  Thanks to all you guys who've posted comments on the videos, subscribed, favorited, and especially talked about the site on random yoyo forums on the web.  I really appreciate all the support.

Hope you guys like the video!  There's old favorites and a few new tricks that I think you'll really like!  Watch out in the upcoming weeks for tutorials for the new tricks and even tricks not shown in the video!

About this trick
I couldn't resist using a yellow string for Pac-Man.  Simple as that.

I never knew "Pac-Man" was spelled that way.  I always thought it was just Pacman... until I looked it up.  I think it looks sort of funny with the hyphen in there, but I had to do justice to the game, you know?

This is one of the greatest picture tricks ever.  People go crazy when they see it.  I would recommend spending quite a bit of time practicing this trick so you can learn how to get your hungry little monster displayed just right.  It's worth it when you have to do a impromptu performance.

About this trick
When you do multiple wraps with your freehand, I would highly recommend wrapping the loop around the base of your throwhand index (instead of your throwhand wrist for only one wrap with your freehand).  This is really the only way to not completely get tangled up.

You know, this trick is probably going to be very difficult for your brain to handle.  It's definitely a challenge to swing the yoyo quickly in small circles while moving your other hand slowly in large circles in the opposite direction.  When I first started learning it, I hit myself constantly.  But, I think---and hopefully you'll agree with me---it's
worth learning.
