Indecisive – Jake Bullock
3/5/13
“An old 5A trick/combo I have since modified with some inspiration from Drew Tetz and Jonrob: The ending bind is something I remember Jonrob messing around with a few years ago, I think my version is different because I catch with my left (non throw) hand. It looks like I can’t decide what I want to do, so I named the combo “Indecisive”, but I really totally know exactly what I’m doing.” – Jake

There’s Always Money In The Banana Stand – Adam Brewster
3/2/13
“1st of a series of tricks inspired by the T.V. series Arrested Development. (Is that even allowed as a source of trick inspiration?) Anyhow, I really like ‘Around-the-World’ when in tricks, and any excuse to throw a behind the back on in the middle of a combo is fine by me. Also always a fan of direction changes and the yo-yo catching an in-motion/fluid slack mount.” – Adam B.

Havoc – Spencer Berry
“This is another legacy trick from 2001. It debuted on my first website, Phalanx, in a video called Primus (youtube.com/watch?v=jGZogyD371Q).
It originally was going to be a collaboration trick between myself and Rob Reeves, but after the mount and that first hop, we went our own ways. It is one of the destruction tricks, alongside Cataclysm and Enigma.” – Spencer

Steve Brown Hates Tech 5A – Jake Bullock
2/26/13
“Steve Brown used to hate on “technical 5A” because he is a cranky curmudgeon and thinks 5A should be more like juggling 😉 I’m not that into juggling. But I really don’t blame him because that “style” of technical 5A got out of hand for awhile there (see my video “Tosscore”, a tech 5A classic, but a little over the top).
Tech 5A to me basically means the focus of the trick is more on counterweight movement than yo-yo movement. This can be good or bad. Traditionally, an ideal 5A trick or combo should have both the yo-yo and counterweight moving at the same time as much as possible. In this trick there is a lot of complex dice movement, but the yo-yo is mostly sitting there. In comparison to tricks of legends such as Rafael Matsunaga, Miguel Correa, and of course Steve, this is probably quite boring and not very visually entertaining; but it hadn’t been done, and someone had to do it so I did. I am proud of it and consider it worth learning, if only for the dice stalls, which I am quite proud of and know have more possibilities to explore. The ending “dismount” where the counterweight pulls the slack into the yo-yo is now a fairly classic 5A move that I have seen several variations of, I am not sure if it’s entirely original.” – Jake
