Throwback Delight
4/5/11
Somehow, I managed to make up a new trick out of an Iron Whip, an Arm Grind, and ending in a Green Triangle.
Ridiculous.

Aesthetic Triangles
4/4/11
Happy National Yo-Yo Day! In Japan, anyway.
I took my Aesthetic Mount from 1/11/11 and converted it to sidestyle, then started messing around with it. Came up with this. It’s kinda fun. I like it. 🙂

Shoulder Slide
4/3/11
I’m a fan of tricks that slide, and I don’t think there are nearly enough of them.

Subtle Penguins
4/2/11
I often delight in creating the smallest of tricks, so small they go almost unnoticed by even other yo-yo players. Tiny little adjustments that look like nothing, but feel nice to me.
Those might be my favorite tricks. Tiny jokes that I wrote just for myself, to remind me that it’s just a toy, even if it’s been a job for a decade and a half.

This trick is so much harder to hit consistently than it should be.

Nunchuck Flourish
3/31/11
This is a very subtle flourish on a standard Nunchuck that I’ve been messing with lately. It’s odd, but adds a bit of flair. The key is to pull your catch hand to the right of the yo-yo and allow the counterweight to wrap around your finger there, then raising your arm and letting the counterweight hit your shoulder to reverse and slide back to your hand. It’s more intuitive to do than to explain.

Hoof & Mouth
3/30/11
My buddy Chris has been doing a “Daily Sketchbook”, posting pics of the critters that he draws for his fans and collectors….much like I’ve been doing with these tricks. So we decided to partner up for maximum cross-awesomeness.
Enjoy. 🙂

…and in other news, I’m continuing my crusade to make yo-yo tricks look more like juggling. Just a little something I cooked up today while messing around with more body moves.
Song is “Skulls” covered by Gunmoll. This is a rare recording that was only available on some burned CDs that the band gave away to fans on a short Japanese tour. It’s awesome.
