    Thanks for sharing Mate,
    but when you spinn the bearing after clean it you risk to damage it because the bearing is not lubricated,is better if you use some sourse of air instead
    ! So thks for the videos again!

    One thing you could talk about is the difference between on stage tricks and off stage tricks

    What bearing were you cleaning? Looked like a concave 10 ball. I've been looking to try some out.

  • @shibaa3015

    where did you get the green yoyo? and how much did it cost?

  • @verenafichter5476
    @verenafichter5476 Před 5 lety

    Lighter fluid in it then light it on fire and spin it. The fire leaves a residue that makes it dead silent

  • @mikepulliam8211

    hello brandon
    im 13 and kinda suck. how good do you have to be to compete in a local contest. common tricks for me are matrix, rewind and a few easy green triangles. plz respond

    • @patrickthegreat8559
      @patrickthegreat8559 Před 7 lety +1

      if you can do all of those very fast then you could possibly compete, also what throw are you using

      did say you are using an atlas? put a konkave or boss rage bearing (i pref the boss rage you can get it from g2 for about 6$ usd) on that thing with some kitty 1.5 string and you're good to go for equipment

  • @olliejacques8825

    Do you deshield both sides?

  • @zhekai7586
    @zhekai7586 Před 9 lety

    What do you do with the lighter fluid after you cleaned the bearing?? Throw them away or keep them to clean the bearing when you need them the next time round?

    • @IQB4Fun
      @IQB4Fun Před 8 lety +1

      +zhekai 05 Throw it away, it has some of the stuff you took out of the bearing in it, and you don't want to put that stuff back next time you clean your bearings.

    • @tedphua8348
      @tedphua8348 Před 8 lety

      throw it away. The fluid will have the grease and dirt in the bearing

    does shielding and not sheilding affect the bearing

    • @stevenr.s9718
      @stevenr.s9718 Před 7 lety +1

      shielding the bearing will generally make your bearing not as easy to be dirty no shields is a bit more easy to be dirty

  • @davidporter3456
    @davidporter3456 Před 9 lety

    Brandon. I have had a cheap Henry's Lizard yoyo for 6 months, got a Sage at christmas (the bolt snapped so it is unusable) and i am wanting something new (with my sage, i did turn it unresponsive). If i can't fix my sage, what would be the best for me? I know basic binds, split the atom, ripcord and boingy boing (my best 3 tricks) and live in the UK.
    Please try and keep your suggestions under $75, £50
    Thanks, David

  • @ryanc2911
    @ryanc2911 Před 9 lety

    So you change the pads a week before which would be your main practicing time for that competition, but wouldn't it be better to change the pads the day before the competition?

    • @dedgar6161
      @dedgar6161 Před 9 lety

      based of the stiffness of the pad,and the materiel, you will need to take time to break in the pad. Some pads are easier to break in than others.

    • @thebrandonvu
      @thebrandonvu  Před 9 lety

      ryanc29os Yea what Edgar said. Some players I know for instance Vu Ho, changes pads right before the competition. I prefer to break them in a little, a snaggy yoyo is the fastest way to get your string jammed and get a knot.

    What do the shields on a bearing do

    • @rodthekid1111
      @rodthekid1111 Před 9 lety +1

      They're supposed to protect the inside of the bearing, but many people prefer just not putting it back on

  • @sethperkins5514
    @sethperkins5514 Před 9 lety

    I use paint thinner instead of lighter fluid

  • @superiorpeep9822

    What does reshielding bearings do?

    • @thebrandonvu
      @thebrandonvu  Před 8 lety

      +Superior Peep Preventing dust from getting inside, but I rarely do it.

    Do u have to re shield the bearings

  • @alfredopratico
    @alfredopratico Před 9 lety

    So for competitions you use premade pads, not silicone home-made ones?

  • @yoyoing4718
    @yoyoing4718 Před 7 lety

    Do you have to clean the bearing on every style of play 1A to 5A?

    • @thebrandonvu
      @thebrandonvu  Před 7 lety

      Generally you should clean your bearings when they start acting up. 2a Yoyo bearings can stay heavily lubed, but every other style requires a regularly maintained and clean bearing.

    • @yoyoing4718
      @yoyoing4718 Před 7 lety

      The Brandon Vu 2A yoyo bearing will have to be replaced at some point right?

    What happens when you get a knot in the bearing and the string is wrapped around the bearing on stage

    • @stewartbrown1617
      @stewartbrown1617 Před 9 lety +1

      The material, the feel, thickness ect. Like different flavours of ice cream, depends on ur taste👅😋

  • @yoyoing4718
    @yoyoing4718 Před 7 lety

    Is it better if you just buy a new bearing than lighter fluid.

    • @thebrandonvu
      @thebrandonvu  Před 7 lety +1

      All bearings need maintenance from time to time. You really need both eventually. You'll need to buy new bearings as you're old ones die, and you'll need to clean your new ones to keep them running smoothly.

    • @yoyoing4718
      @yoyoing4718 Před 7 lety

      The Brandon Vu ok thanks

  • @largeface404

    How long do u put the bearing in lighter fluid

    • @thebrandonvu
      @thebrandonvu  Před 8 lety

      +Large Face Doesn't take long, maybe 30 to 45 seconds.

    • @largeface404

  • @timothyangtuaco9464
    @timothyangtuaco9464 Před 9 lety

    Why when i lubed my bearing it became slightly responsive and it spins slower?

    • @thebrandonvu
      @thebrandonvu  Před 9 lety

      League of noobs Kha zix That's what happens when you lube it too much. Lube in moderation. It will eventually spin back to normal with a bit of play, but next time lube your bearing less.

    what are the yo-yos you use at competitions

  • @elvisxavier1487
    @elvisxavier1487 Před 8 lety

    will water work instead of lighter fluid

    • @scrap8760
      @scrap8760 Před 8 lety

      no, lighter fluid dissolves the particles in the bearing so they can exit cleanly. Water might just break the particles into smaller, clingyier particles making the bearing worse.
