http://yoyonews.com/2014/06/09/duncan-magnetude-counterweight-set-winners/
5A is by far the best style pretty much a way Of life .I llllloooooooooovvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeee it.
Because DD works on both yoyos AND girls.
5A will always be the number one style for me. Even after Getting a scar above my eye from practicing a trick (Got it eventually) Definitely the style I’m most passionate about, now I just need a great yoyo to advance further. The Magnitude could definitely do that for me.
I Love 5a Because Its Swag!
Crap there are a lot of people!
I didn’t love 5a until recently. My 1a had lost it’s spark for me and I wasn’t learning anything new. Then I started working on 5a and a whole new world opened up. That’s all I’ve been throwing for the past month and I can’t get enough of it.
Not many people realise this but 5A in fact joins up all the other styles of play into one. It develops the 1A style by lettinng you improve those tricks you already know and by making them even more complex but worthy of doing. For 2A it gets the tricks used there of loops and uses them but with the counterweight making it seem magical in a way. The idea of 3A of the difficulty and the two strings going everywhere as well as keeping an eye on two objects is shown again in this. You are keeping track of two moving objects constantly and having to be careful that these don’t mess up the trick by the strings doing a knot. Last but not least the thing about 4A of having a sense of freedom of the yoyo being thrown in the air is also achieved in 5A as you don’t in fact have the yoyo tied to your hand and you’re able to throw it and catch it which reunites that characteristic. 5A is a style which has the other styles in it that’s why I like it so much.
Though I’ve spent less time practicing it than I should. I’ve always enjoyed playing it
5A is AMAZING and is definetely a style I’m trying to improve on. Where I’m from Yo-Yoing isn’t very big, just a couple of us who are actually into it but hopefully it will catch on especially when people see how awesome, swag and hipster 5A is!.
It is a nice change of pace from 1a every once in a while, since it allows different trick opportunities.
But the best part is playing 5a out in public. People will ask, “Hey, why is that dice thing on the end of your string,” and I’ll say, “Because of THIS!” and then proceed to blow their mind with a 360. That feeling is so much fun.
I like 5A but sometimes I hate it.
Being someone who mainly throws 1A, 5A is a refreshing way to yoyo. Along with adding a counterweight, there are so much different varieties of tricks that are possible.
Along with that it is fun to know that it was only introduce a little while ago and there is so much innovation taking place in this new style of play.
I enjoy 5A, it’s opened new doors for my 1A routines, but I wouldn’t say I love it.
I love 5a because it’s fun! ๐
ive used erasers, legos, and anything else I can to use as a counterweight for my throws because im just addicted to 5a. steve brown the guy who is apparently credited for making 5a something is great a little bit crazy, but great. make my birthday(its on June sixth) awesome and give me a new throw please. ๐
I love 5A because when random people see you it changes from a face of wonder and amazement to a face of fear of getting hit in the face by this โweaponโ
I love 5A because it is so exciting and every one’s style can be different and you can also use concepts from 1A, 2A, 3A, and 4A
I love 5a that I want to learn how to do complex tricks with a 5a yoyo.
I like 5A because most people have never seen modern yoyo tricks, let a lone counterweight tricks. You can use almost anything as a counterweight and the aspect of mixing it up is fun.
I love 5a so much, that I got into top three for 4 years, on Russian Nationals, and then got first place,
I love 5a simply because it’s unique and different. I love every style of yoyoing , but 5a is fast and furious and looks amazing to anyone watching. Adding the dice to the end of the yoyo opens up a door of endless possibilitys and creativeness that can be explored and used to create the most wicked of tricks. It takes an exorbitant amount of concentration to be able to watch both ends of the string and create a flawless smooth trick without getting any knots. I love the challenge 5a creates with my mind to test me everyday to come up with bigger and better tricks and that is why I continue to love 5a.
I love 5a for two reasons: First it is so much easier to throw at work. My boss pops in a quick bind and I can look like I’m working. Second reason is my 8 month old loves watching my throw and seeing his face try while he is trying to watch the yoyo and counter weight is amazing.
I love 5A so much that I can’t spend a day without playing with my counter-weight’d yo-yo.
i love 5a very much

When steve Brown created 5A, he changed yoyoing forever. He was the Orville Wright of yoyoing. he was the henry Ford. The Thomas Edison. The Albert Einstein.
He opened a door that allowed a whole new type of yoyoing. He made it possible to not be tied to a string and to let go and lt the yoyo fly. This, in ny opinion, was the most important discovery in yoyo history. Thank you steve Brown.
5a is such a wonderful thing
every new trick makes my heart sting
so much that its a wonderful thing
yet, ive yet to learn bee sting.
Oh man it messed up the heart that was supposed to be

That much
I love 5am because it got me into yoyoing going on the duncan website I found the freehand yoyo and this began my ceasles quest to find a freehand which I did then I watched the video included with it with Steve brown teaching the tricks and demoing the yoyos bit I gave up because I sucked and couldn’t even do around the world but then I picked up my freehand and metal zero years later and started learning I learned rock the cradle around the world and finale i learned how to do my first 5a trick windmill and I was hooked and now I am really putting in the effort to get good at 5a
5A is more challenging.
I got a lot of love marks to prove how much i love 5A!
I love 5a because it is an outlet through which i can express my style in an innovative way. Because 5a is a less pursued style than 1a, and it has multiple facets for creating tricks it offers much more space for inventing and expressing ideas. When i get bored with 1a which is my main style 5a is my next option for playing yoyo. It is a strong right arm in my yoyoing career, which is why i love 5a
5A is definitely more fun to watch than 1A, but it’s also that much more challenging.
Why do I love 5A? Hmm well I love 5A because I love to get hit with a rock hard dice, I love getting bruised from counterweight hits, I love breaking ceiling fans lights and I love to drop my expensive yoyos on the ground and let them get chewed up (then I grind on my arm). That is why I love 5A!
I like 5A because it allows me make new rules, and subsequently break them.
I don’t do much 5A, but this whole 5A May has got me extremely excited to work harder at other styles. Seeing what actually happens through a tutorial gives a new insight on how one can manipulate the toy and life as a whole.
Because you haven’t lived until you miss a 5a trick and the throw runs away into the girls bathroom.
I love 5A because she has a great personality, wonderful hair, and a fab body. I’m actually thinking about proposing soon.
Hate 5a and those vids are just…. Well as i can get a yoyo for free i like 5a i mean i hate it but oh well its free yoyo still hate 5a but hating 5a is just a great feeling cuz the stupid dices are fu*king me up everytime and hit me in the face so yea i hate it ๐
I love 5a because it surprises people. When I am throwing in public, I sometimes stick a counterweight on there, do some 1a tricks, then all of a sudden I throw the counterweight, and everyone’s like :O How did you do that! So fun.
I like 5A a lot, because it’s kinda risky as the yoyo and the string are completely unattached to you and it opens up the door for a variety of tricks.
5A is the best because you aren’t limited you can do almost WHATEVER YOU WANT!!!.
I like it pretty great. I’d love to be able to get into it more so that I can expand my mastery in yoyoing. Also, learning the tricks is also fun, because it gives me a new outlook on how to do yoyo tricks (coming from someone who does almost nothing BUT 1a. ) it’s a very interesting style that I like to mess around with and I plan on getting into it more and more. I do indeed LOVE 5A ๐ <3
I love 5A. I’m not very good at it, but I keep trying and just learned Bee Sting. Next up is Helicopter. I will continue to learn because 5A is just awesome.
5A is great. I’m no darn good at it, but I love trying.
5a give you the ultimate freedom of play. 5a us unique because it literally can use elements from all styles of play. 5a gives you many options to do complex body trick that swing around your legs and arms. Whenever I meet a dead end I allways come to 5a, many of my trick elements in 1a are inspired by 5a tricks, this can help create new exciting trick know one has seen before. In conclusion, I love 5a for its creativeness and diversity of tricks.
I love 5A because i learned 1a with a counterweight in my hand. So i never remeber a time in my yoy career where i wasnt doing 5a.
i love 5a as much as the dice loves to spin around and miss the hands
I love 5a because after the stress of preparing for my state contest and getting it done I started to have a sour taste with yoyos and when 5A May came i gave it a try and yoyoing felt fun again. It even gave me more ideas and love for 1a in the process.
#5aMay 4 lyfe
5A is the most beautiful style!
creativity at it’s highest level, most specifically 5A Double Dice ๐
5a looks so much more unique than any other type of yoyo play.
Because 5a gives the opportunity to throw/play left handed without feeling so right hand dominant.
It also makes teaching the left handed so much easier
i love 5A for the challenge. That uncomfortable feeling of not having anything attached to your hand.
I really love the fact that a toy as old as yo-yo can still change and evolve through peoples passion for the sport. I love 5a because it adds a whole new element that would have never come to pass without true passion for yo-yoing and innovation.
I love 5A with a passion as it brings about a freedom for me that other yoyo styles cannot. Plus, its sparkly and sexi. ^ ^
Im really enjoying 5A even though I just started experimenting with the style. Ive already dropped the yoyo 3 times in two days, very promising. Thanks for all of the inspiration, I sincerely appreciate it.
I love 5A more than I love math, and I love math a whole lot.
Freehand is my favorite style of play and my first yoyo was the Duncan Throw Monkey which made me interested in Freehand. Further more, Takeshi Matsuura was the first professional yoyoer I ever watched. So basically ever since I started yoyoing I have had an interest in this style of play. I am not as good as some people but I will work to master 5a.
I love 5A because of Jacob Elliott
I’ve never done much 5A but would love to learn with the Magnetude!
Woohoo love 5a.
Almost, but not quite, as much as 1A. XD
I love it enough to endure the pain of hitting yourself and keep playing.
I really love how challenging the 5a tricks are and I LOVE Duncan PERIOD… the magnetude looks amazing and I’ve really been wanting one bad… if I were picked I would be very greatful and appreciate it so much… you guys rock for doing these contests
I…ouch…love….ouch ouch…..5a…OUCH!
5A seems pretty awesome! I’ve been trying real hard to improve my 5A game and this would be a cool thing to try out!
I’m horrible at 5A but I love it as a style because it is so different then any other style and I love that you can do tricks thy are otherwise impossible. I also love it because of the focus needed to move two objects in space instead of just one.
Love the style need to practice!
Trying to learn 5a. It is crazy hard but a blast.
I’m a fan a 5A. I need to practice a lot more to be any good at it. ๐
I love 5a because of got poisoned by jack ringca, seriously.
I love 5a so much
I had to write a bunch
About the free magnitude
From Steve the dude
The man from yoyonews
5a is a game
Its definitly not lame
Jake won nats
So ill send my congrats
I love 5a
I get all the fans
Even the ones with hardcore tans
5a is fun when the dice hits your arms
Your hands
And your 5a fans
I like 5a for the reason that it is almost like Exhibition Drill in my view. The way the yoyo can spin around the body and fly up almost makes it look like rifle exhibition
I can not tell what I love about 5A, but, I would love to learn 5A.
I’d give this a kind and loving home!
I love 5A. But I gave my counterweight and a yoyo to a friend who wants to learn how to yoyo.
5A rocks because you can use magnets ๐
Although I’m a beginner at 5a I really love it! It allows me to do things that my mind conjures but 1a doesn’t allow, its a different form of creativity to me and I live every second of it I think the limitations of 1a are great but 5a has tons of awesome tricks that wow everyone, 1a to me is so cliche and everyone knows a yoyo with a string you wrap around your finger but 5a wows everyone and gives you a chance to be different innovation is key and that’s why I love 5a
I like counterweight play it is very coo looking
Love 5A, love tutorials, love all 5A tricks. I just don’t have a really good 5A throw. If I did, I certainly would be throwing all day. Right now, all I have is a YYJ Surge. This is my big chance.
5A is cool
I’m being introduced to 5A and with great enthusiastic players like Takeshi Matsuura here, new tricks are being invented 24/7.
I’m really tired of 1A and 5A is my all time favorite style, but I’m not all that great, but I still love it.
May is the best, 5A all day
I like 5a because most tricks figured out by advanced players tend to be made out of elements that are undiscovered by other 5a players. That means that everyone who plays 5a long enough will end up making something fresh. 5a is an awesome style that is The best string trick style besides 3a due to their undiscovered natures make them a mystery to yoyoers and non yoyoers alike.
I’m pretty me to 5A but this may was a blast!! Duncan is an all time favorite company and I’ve always been super interested in this yoyo. I love 5a so much it’s going to be 5a everyday!!
Who needs suicide knots. 5a for life!
I love 5A because it opens up a world of opportunity, as soon as you know the basics you aren’t restricted to having the yoyo attached to your finger. And then you can take it to the next level with magnets! Freaken magnets!
Just thinking of the possibility makes me drool, my mind is going wild.
I simply do not ever play with a yoyo without a counterweight attached. Ever, it has been since 2007. I have no callous for a slip knot on either finger. Thats how much I love it. When I play 4A I use a counterweight as well as 3A, and even 1A.
magnets how do they work?
Woof woof
I love 5A because it makes my kids laugh when I drop it and the yoyo disappears across the room chased by a dice that eventually catches it and a noisy fight ensues.
I love 5A because who doesn’t love watching Takuma’s insane helicopter and grind tricks?
I love Steve Brown
Everyone loves it ! Who doesn’t ?
I love 5a it’s fun and helps me pass the time when I am not doing anything or learning new move’s
In all honesty, I don’t play 5A, but magnets seem cool, and cool seems Asian, as I am Asian, I must use magnets, if not I will bring great dishonour to my famiry. AHHH!!! IT’S GORZIRRAAAA!!! (I loved that movie.)
I’m not good at 5A but all those 5Amay videos, tutorials, freestyles made me loving it and convinced to improve in this style! After this month I’ll definitely do my best in 5A!
(lol to the kilometric comments xD)
I don’t know if I like playing 5A since I didn’t try it yet, but I know it looks cool! However, if I win one of these, I’ll be able to give it a shot myself ๐
5a just looks cool ๐
Cuz’ dice are cool, yoyos are stupid…
5a May has been great because of how many major players came together to make it happen. All the tutorials, interviews, trickcircle tags and promotions make it great, but the really great thing is how much I and others have progressed this month. If every month was dedicated to a particular style, or to even a specific trick component, that would be an invaluable resource for the community. After maybe 3 months there would be so much contribution, it would practically publish itself. Thanks so much for bringing it to the masses.
5a, Specifically Double Dice, has always been my go to style of throwing, It is a relaxing style of play that opened up an entire realm of new tricks for me when I became confined by the slipknot loop. I went through various transitions of throwing throughout the years of from the slippery eel, to moebius. into standard 5a, and then finally into double dice. Unbound from the basics and relearning to simply let go, the first trick I learned was an Aerial and it simply showed me that the dice never had to be confined to my hand, I was able to utilize the dice in a manor that was close to Poi spinning, and it became my favorite concept in the yoyo realm, then one day, inspiration came in the likeness of Iskandar Shah, an Amazing double dice player who destroyed everything I knew about incorporating the single die 5a style and added a new element of the play for me (Now I now he was not the first “Astro” player, but definitely my favorite throughout my research into the style) – I began my journey into double dice with frustration of that new element, and now the sliding die is second nature. This magnetude looks to be yet another realm of possibilities. I would love to own one and would love to see what could be done. ๐
As a poor college student, it can be hard to get the throws that can really up my game. That’s why I love these giveaways you have, it gives some hope that a person can have the opportunity to fully appreciate all of the styles of yoyo play available. Sob story aside, magnets bitch!
5A is one of those types of yo-yoing that people can just relax and play. It is not really how difficult the trick you do, it is that when you hit it, it feels like you won a million dollars. When I first started 5A i new that it was going to be hard, but that i would have fun. That is why i love it so much today.
No matter how many times it causes me to scuff my yoyos I will still love 5a.
In fact,
I’d catch a grenade for 5a (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for 5a (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I’d jump in front of a train for 5a (yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know I’d do anything for 5a (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for 5a, baby
But 5a won’t do the same
I really like the fact that 5A adds a whole new set of coordination skills to throwing – for example keeping the counterweight moving on an arc while controlling the throw through a trick with the n.t.h. It’s pretty neat.
Best comment here though has to be Jake Elliot’s. Pretty tough to beat that, it really is a good effort!
i love 5a as much as the string loves to wrap itself around the bearing.
5A is where it’s at. Endless creativity without crazy sting tension. LoVe It!
I just love 5a!!
I love 5A, because I can let go!!!!!!!
I throw 1a for 10+ years, and I can create and do a new trick in a heartbeat it seems. The thing is that in 5a I have those moments where I do a trick for the whole day and it still isn’t smooth. I missed to have chalenges like this in yoyoing.
So the short answer is -because I suck in 5a-. And also Magnetude has some unique possibilities that I would like to see in action already.
I felt lost in 1A, I had OK tricks but nothing special. I’ve never been able to rank high at contests… So I started 5A just to see if I can achive something or create something unique, but hell no! I was really bad in 5A, I had no idea how to find out a good trick… I thought I’ve allready worn out, I was about to stop. One day I saw a video of Iskandar, I was like, WOW this is something I’ve never seen before. I’ve tried, I faild a lot of times but DD was the first type of yoyoing which made me want to continue playing even when I feel like crap! I know it’s not the regular 5A stuff, but that’s why I’m still part of this great community ๐
I hate 5A, I hit myself too much. Still I want this yoyo so I hit myself while I play 1A.
5a is the bee’s knees! :)! Definitely brings yo-yoing closer to that Bruce Lee playing ping-pong Nunchaku Ninja Funk Ohpaa Fundam style. With the magnets it’s gone Space age NASA science. Hard like math.
Because we can gamble with the dices.
http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyg0caN6H01qlfcheo1_500.gif
I guess counterweights are cool.
id love a chance to incorporate the magnets
5A is clearly one of the easier styles to become proficient at, but one of the hardest to make look good. Decent 5A, and more importantly good looking 5A, is rare now.
I played 5a before 1a as my first Yoyo was a Duncan metal zero
If it wasn’t for 5a I wouldn’t be playing 1a. The first Yoyo I bought was a Duncan metal zero and the counterweight went on straight away even before my first throw.
CHANCE TO INCORPORATE THE MAGNETS…
For me 5A is the most coolest style in the 5 divisions. When I first see this style is like Im seeing a butterfly. Haha! It just cool ๐
awsome
5a is the coolest style in yoyoing. Zero doubt. I mean, even if I’m not good in this style I can feel the freedom of playing with a yoyo that spins not connected to my hand as in 1a 2a 3a (4a hasn’t the string connected), and this doesn’t mean that you haven’t control on your moves: your tricks can reach another level, another grade of freedom! and would you forgot the freestyle of David molnar during eyyc2014?!?! it’s one of the most breathtaking things I’ve ever seen! definitely 5a is the coolest style! no doubt!
My love for 5A is like digit of ฯ: infinite and non-periodic <3
(and of course Steve Brown is my hero xD)
this one doesn’t count! ๐
I started this year with 5a and I am so excited about the myriad ways that this division and can thus say thank Steve Brown you’ve learned us 5a.
Yoyonews already hooked me up proper this month, plenty of freehand vids and a new throw.
5A2k14 son!
5a is one of the coolest styles. i feel it suffers a bit due to contest rules and things that are fairly obvious. but it’s worth learning and worth enjoying to every player and person! 17th at nationals aint half bad i guess!
I love 5A b/c it allows you to show another side of your yoyoing, whoever came up with it must have been a genius.
5A is my passion, it is also my main division. I love 5A, it makes me think of what gravity defying trick i can do using a yoyo which is not attached to the finger. Imagine what trick i can do using MAGNETS!!! I love duncan and i also love 5A!!!
5a rules cause putting suicide knots on your finger is for suckers.
I want to keep it because I want to try a hub stacked yoyo
And I love 5a because it was always a fun way to play a yoyo once I’m tired of 1a
I want to try my luck at 5a since it looks fun
That is not the reason though, I love 5a because there are so many ways to create tricks and to just have a fun time
I love 5a, I just need to do it more and learn more. I remember when I first started yoyoing I learned from the How to be a yoyo ninja tutorials. I love those guys! I think 5a is something everyone should give a go. During May for November, I don’t care, just go try it! (Btw, Steve, your awesome for doing this and I love yoyonews!)
I love 5A because it adds a plethora of new possibilities to yoyoing. It makes it that much more of a creative outlet by adding a whole new dimension into tricks
Here’s why I love 5A. Freedom. Freedom to let go, freedom to take a trick and just add an extra element to it. I love 5A because it makes me want to break the rules, much like the original mentality for when it hit the community at first. It makes me think about tricks differently, makes me actually admire the bruises I get on my knuckles, and find myself in awe when I land something so amazing. 5A is an extension of who I strive to be. It makes me want to be a better player. I mean, what other style gives you the creative mind to look in a store and think “that item could make a cool counterweight.”?! 5A can.
Also, it is the only style I’ve played that hasn’t hit me in the groin (yet).
Truth is, I haven’t really givin 5A a chance, but I just reacently have been wanting to get into it. What better way for me to do so then with one these… ๐
I love 5A so much that I have broken most of the glass objects in my house, and continue to break more.
for my game 5a is a challenge because you have to look for the exits and entrances to the counterweight and try not to give you a punch in the face more than anything is my most favorite game and give everything 5a that create and Believe to have the yoyo without sugetar hand wing counterweights duncan not say they are pure quality friends
5A and me have always had a love hate relationship. when I first started yoyoing I played using a counterweight not because I was interested in doing 5A tricks but because as a noob tension was really hard to get out and a counterweight made it easier. as I got better the necessity for using the counterweight to fix tension was less necessary and the fact that the yoyo would come out of my hand and break things did not help, so I took alot of time off from 5A. today I have learn to love 5A. I feel like my whole body is in the trick when I do 5A tricks. everything about 5A has made it my favorite style from the options opened with the counterweight to the throwers involved like Tyler Severance and Jake Elliott.
I love 5a enough to play until my knuckles bleed
5A is great, and very under-represented at yoyomuseum.com. Let’s fix that ๐
I love watching 5A and now I want to try it!
Because 5a is COOL.
5 is my favorite number. A is the first letter of my name. My birthday is in May. Coincidence? I think not.
5a is the hardest style I’ve tried. I don’t know how the pros do what they do.
I used to solely do 1a and 4a, but I just started doing 5a thanks to watching all the tutorials for 5a May and I am having a blast (just landed Tangler!!!!!) I love 5a because there is no strings attached “pardon the lame pun haha” and it opens all sorts of new tricks. I’m still learning , but everyone on my college campus stops with a confused look and asks questions about why there is a dice on my throw haha. Seems to draw a lot more attention than 1a, which gets people interested in yoyoing! Thanks guys!
but i do think steve brown has an awesome beard
honestly i never even tried 5A yet, and probably never will unless i win, so there’s that
I just started learning 5a this month and love it so much that I have sent 2 yoyos flying down the street and didn’t give stop there. Im going for a 3rd lol
5A gives one the option of doing tricks that would otherwise be impossible, it also teaches an entire new level of control, as well as resembles many Diabolo tricks to me. I have Diaboloed 7 years, and my 5A is highly inspired by it. Which in turn, makes 5A ridiculously fun for me! I loved the Magnitude when I tried it. I hope I can land one!
I love 5A because it is fun and feels more open and divers than other styles.
Forget traditional. 5A is a revolution. It’s revolutionary. It is free, no strings attached, a definition of a yoyo. Spinning your troubles away and feeling free ๐
I love 5a since you can make the yoyo free as a bird
What’s not to love! I’ll never forget that first video (yes, young people, a video) “How to Be a Player” that included 5A. I went straight out an bought a Duncan freehand, the original one and the best. (If only I had bought a few more. : )
I always loved the part where they did 5A in a playground and they had the yoyo rebounding off play equipment. Very cool!
I love 5A as though it was part of an algebraic equation where A equals 1,000,000,000 making 5A equal to 5,000,000,000.
I love 5A because it has no strings attached. You can leave it for years, and come back to play like day one. The best things in life work that way. With no strings attached. To you that is
I love 5a because it gives me something different to look forward to every time I pick up a yoyo!
I love 5A because there are so many possiblilities with a counterweight!
5A is the best style because I somehow get more bruises…sometimes I think I’m a sadist.
5A creates so many more opportunities. The counterweight allows much more involvement of the non-throwhand without requiring quite the level of dexterity as is needed with 3A. It also creates a great contrast in many flourishes for the counterweights are often going in opposite or complementary motions to the yoyo. Finally, it lets the yoyo become much more free to the point where it is sometimes becoming close to 4A. 5A is the ultimate combination of 1A, 3A and 4A; hence, it also presents a unique and splendid challenge.
I love 5A because it makes me happy!
I only love 5a medium.
I love 5A because it frees me from the restrictions of all the other styles of yoyoing.
I love 5a more than Watching Reading Rainbow with Levar Burton!!!!!……OK not really, but 5a is still pretty cool.
I love 5a so much I once spent a months pay for a visit to California for less then two days yoyoing in Chico
I love the dice!!! the Yo-Yo and the 5A !!!!
I love it because I can play with balls on my string
I love 5a enough to keep going at it even after traumatizing myself with an accidental 5a nut shot.
I love 5A because it is one of the best to watch.
love 5A May
I love 5A because Steve Brown created it.
Im not that good at 5A but I 5A May
I love it enough to become national 5a champion.
Nothing better than hitting a clean aerial or bee sting! 5A is my new passion! I hope to compete at my state contest next year and take home a medal! Also, magnets! WHAAAAT?!?!?!?! MAG! NETS! Honestly, I’m just gonna use the counterweights for hagning macaroni pictures on the fridge if I win! Macaronayyyyy! ๐
I love it
