Multimedia presentation by Steve Mellon and Bob Batz Jr.

The graffiti on the wall says "Spin City." The room is called the Spinning studio. The participants are members of YoPittsburgh and their technique bears only scant resemblance to what their grandparents may have attempted during the yo-yo fad of the '50s.
In this multimedia presentation, teenage members of YoPittsburgh demonstrate yo-yo tricks like the forkmount and the magic triangle.
Just don't ask them to "Walk the Dog."
