Thumb Mount (Chopsticks Tutorial)

Lesson 1: The thumb mount. Invented by Kohta, greatly expanded by Jason Lee, Spencer Berry, and many other yo-yo pioneers, and the foundation for modern chopsticks style.

Okay, so this mount is mostly just practice. But hey, it doesn't hurt to do a tutorial anyways... and now you'll know at least two directions to go with it.

When your first starting to wind it up just stick your finger out over the gap. Wrap the string around a couple times, over your finger and the yoyo. Once you have wrapped it about 5 times pull your finger out of the loop. The string should catch and shouldnt just slide. Hope this helps!
