I have been looking for a video like this all day. You sir are amazing to do that yo-yo. (The the duncan imperial is not a bad yo like some think.) I can only do stuff like rock the baby or loop da loop on mine. I can not believe you are able to do the trapeze and or double or nothing like tricks with it! Amazing! I am going to practice with mine and not dare pick up a yo yo jam yo with out being able to do the trapeze at the least on this yo now. Hats off to you!
If your duncan imperial won't sleep, you have been spoiled by ball bearing yoyos. I learned on an imperial. ALL OF THEM WILL SLEEP! He did not mod this. He is just good. As for tubeo98, duncan imperials are not crappy. Unless you are nine years old growing up in the midst of high tech yoyos. Doing all of this on a fixed axle is infinitely more impressive than on a ball bearing.
Never EVER underestimate the Imperial or Butterfly. I still remember playing with my Butterfly on Christmas morning. How quickly I turned my back on it then, tsk tsk.
Hey i think your video is pretty amazing!,i mean its like a 3 dollar toy but you make it looks worth alot more! did you happen to put any mods into it? i have the same kind!
hey, sorry... that's just a bow and arrow trick i made up 10 years ago. there are a lot of robin hood tricks, but that one's great for scaring kids. ;)
i have finally reach the level of skill to do that kind of stuff with a butterfly and you DONT need to mod it, just plenty of time with nothing else to do!
Practice. You get the feel for it.... On a throw, youll use your throwing finger as a sort of shock absorber, and by dulling the "landing" of the yoyo on the end of the string, it will sleep.
Unfortunately, the imperial or modified shape is necessary for looping; essentially, it has to have a thin profile and come back when tugged. Concave or wing yoyos are designed to be ultra-stable and long-spinning for string tricks, which means that they don't loop well. Plus they're usually heavier. It is possible to do a regen (where the yoyo loops out once into another sleeper) with a wing yoyo, but not multiple loops unless it's pretty narrow and you're really good.
i'm going to take that as a compliment... but it's the belief that doing cool stuff on an ordinary fixed axle that keeps folks chained to the idea that the need a bearing to yo-yo well.
Actually I take back my comment earlier my first yoyo was a duncan imperial and I used it so much it turns out it was doing 1/10th of what it could actually do I bought a new one and its not bad
acting like an bad comment :P-arent you old to play with a yoyo na just kidding i got you vid URL from yoyonation cool man i cant do most of the tricks with a looper

no dude. just a stock imperial and years of practice.
honestly, i'm embarrassed at how mediocre this is watching it now. i should do a new, improved one.

But how did you make the duncan imperial stay on your string and spin for that long? I have a Duncan Imperial and I can barely do pop the clutch ;l
