To be honest if you have to ask then I would take it to your bike shop. Unless its a high end gyro with the London mod (€200+) then I would personally run a long linear cable.

Does the Verde Theory 2008 BMX have a Gyro?
No. The Verde Theory is a BMX bike for riding on a track. A Gyro would only come on a Freestyle bike made for trick riding.
Do you have to have gyro tabs on you bike to be able to have a gyro?
They do not have to be attached to the frame but yes you do need them. When you buy a gyro kit for a bike it comes with a plate that has tabs on it. Unless it is an integrated frame, meaning the headset is two cartrige bearings down inside the frame, if so a gyro will not work without the tabs mounted to the frame. Hope it helped. :)
Are mountain bikes better than freestyle ones?
Depends on what you want from your bike. A MTB is likely to have better riding characteristics than a freestyle bike, important if you want to cover any distances with your bike. But if you only want to ride at skate parks, then a freestyle bike is probably the better choice.
Is it impossible to take a gyro brake set on a bike off and put it on another bike?
Depends on the gyro and the frame. Some gyros are meant to work with tabs welded onto the headtube of the frame, some have the tabs as part of the press-fit headset cups. You can't put a gyro for welded tabs on a bike that hasn't got them.

What makes the front part of the bike spin 360 degrees?
a gyro which is also called a detangler... it surrounds the stem and stops the cables from tangling when doing a bar spin :)
Can you do a barspin with BMX bike that has back breaks?
Not unless you have a detangler/gyro fitted. Without one, the brake line would either snap or stop the bars from turning.
