Mark McBride, author of "The Yonomicon" and inventor of 3A yo-yoing, discusses the pivotal transition from fixed axle to transaxle yo-yos, which allowed for longer and more complex tricks. He emphasizes the importance of cataloging tricks by breaking them down into fundamental components, introducing holds, moves, and a notation system in his pioneering book on yo-yo theory.

The conversation explores adopting a "skateboarding mentality" in yo-yoing, encouraging players to embrace failure and foster creativity. Topics include the evolution of yo-yoing over the past 25 years, the development of new tricks and divisions like 3A, and the significance of symmetry and documentation. They discuss how originality emerges naturally through dedicated practice and the influence of other art forms on yo-yoing.

The evolution of 3A is examined, including the yoyos used and the concept of the "five houses of 3A," illustrating how competition trick selection shaped the style's direction. The importance of style, flair, and the early role of contests and clubs in building the yo-yo community is highlighted. Emphasis is placed on grassroots organizing, encouraging individuals to create events and clubs independently without needing permission or significant funding, thereby enriching and expanding the community.
