Yo-yo Spotting: The Walking Dead

By

The latest episode of The Walking Dead had a neat little surprise for us yo-yo nerds.

At the end of the episode, Tara (Alanna Masterson) is seen doing a few Gravity Pulls!

Earlier in the episode, Tara, checking the world’s muddiest backpack for valuables, says: “You’ll never believe what’s in this bag!”

See that mud ball? That's how real survivors carry their yo-yos.

Cabin Tutorial – Hi, I’m Michael

CLYW drops another Cabin Tutorial, and they just keep getting weirder and weirder. This original trick from Jensen Kimmitt is pretty intense…there’s a lot going on and even the slow-motion breakdowns don’t make it look any less daunting.

Yoyo used is the Sasquatch by CLYW.
