I want to learn how to do tricks on a yo-yo. I can already sleep, but the yo-yo I have doesn't sleep long enough to do anything. Is this a good yo-yo?

I'd say it's pretty good, it's usually sleep time for me is around 30-60 seconds. I'd suggest either this or the Yomega Maverick.

Heres the thing, its metal, so you may want to be careful when starting tricks. The yoyo needs to be broken in. I had used it ALOT until it gave me some sleep time. Someone stole it last week but I think i got 40 seconds. Which for intermed is fine for putting 1-4 tricks without reeling back up. At first it will be semi responsive and after a lot of throwing (took 3 weeks for me), the yoyo will be much less responsive so you can practice with unresponsive yoyos. I think it was kinda a jump since it was my first yoyo, but you'll be fine. Buy it! Currently i own a 10 dollar "Whip" complete unresponsive.

This is not a trick board at all. This is meant for long trips and cruising along. It is a great board for the price, but is not intended for doing 'tricks'.

It does not come with much equipment for freestyle tricks. It does not have pegs or a rotor. More geared toward BMX.

My son and I thought it'd be fun to time it for you so we did. lol With a good spin in the shogun steel stadium alone it spun for as long as 3:42! Giving it a few more spins we got varying times of around a 1:30-2:30. But it is a good sturdy balanced bey and my son wins frequently with diablo nemesis. Yes, it depends on the mode & whether or not it was a good spin, but it spins for a while and is pretty tough to beat! It's pretty cool looking too. We interchange the parts a lot in our house though. I'd recommend it. Have fun!

no H. Bauer they don't know anything about riding!!! this board doesn't turn well at all mine did even turn right and I am about 98ibs and have been skating for about 5 years so no not good enough unless you want to go in a straight line. go talk to someone at a skate shop NEVER BUY A BOARD ONLINE YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GETTING AND IF THE REVIEWS ARE CORRECT OR NOT

Be careful with YoYo. Mine did not work at all and no response from seller and disabled website.

It's perfect for beginners. I was a beginner when I started using it. Just be careful. Use proper technique or you'll throw your back out. It took me about 3 weeks to get fully used to them

Yeah I would say it could be used for tricks, but only if you know how. if you get the whip and it isn't working....It isn't the whip it is you. So yes I would say that this would be a great whip, especially for learning, but also for advanced uses as well!

Get up and enjoy yourself. If you like to dance this is the one to start with. Don't worry about trying to do everything at once. Just take your time and build up to the rest. My grandchildren even worked out with me. They loved it. Motivate yourself to learn just one song and dance routine, then move on to the others. Just do it for yourself! I know you will feel much better.

It sleeps for about a minute on a good roll. But I can't get it to "come back" and I'm a somewhat average player. I put it aside sadly.

@cheetah2000, it is a great board if you are around 110 or more. Is gunna feel weird at first but definatly loosen trucks before you ride.

Mine's did. It's a great yoyo. Small and heavy. They have great yoyo's for a reasonable price. My favorite so far is the n12. Have a great day! :)

Works perfectly! Actually, in the beggining it was easier to get it to levitate then when you know what you are doing...my 6 year old niece got it on the first try and then never again. Stand over the base holding the globe by your pals on the sides...look it up on YouTube. Good luck! :D

GREAT yoyo. My grandson loves it, and is becoming very accomplished with it. Took what i taught him and has really added skills.

I will have to ask my husband regarding the "facts" question. However, I must admit that I'm not sure I would buy this toy for my 4 year old son again. It's difficult for it to transform. My husband has to do it ever time. And it doesn't really move on it's own. Just says things every now and then. And they are somewhat difficult to turn off. If you have any of the other Switch N Go Dinos - in comparison, this one fails. It's much more flimsy, etc. I know it's a spendy purchase. My son wanted Jagger too, but I convinced him to go a different route. He just doesn't play with it all that often. I will have to ask my husband regarding the "facts" question.

yes, kids like to practice tricks with it...it's a good board for a beginner.

It's heavier than a regular Frisbee. There may be better options to learn with, based on that, but not sure. Junior highers, high schoolers and adults enjoyed it, but I've not seen someone younger or new to throwing a Frisbee try it.
