CLYW team member Andrew Maider kicks off the new YoYo Trick Theory video series from YoYoExpert! Filmed during the 2016 US National YoYo Contest, this video showcases tricks from Andrew and a few other players and sits down with Andrew to gets his thoughts on modern trick theory and construction. Every player approaches yoyo play differently, and for a new player it can be pretty hard to figure out which direction you want to head in. A series like Trick Theory gives you the opportunity to hear from your favorite players about why they do what they do, and help you determine the direction that you want to push your own play. We’re pretty excited about this series, and can’t wait to show you more!
