One-handed tricks: a must for the repertoire of any yo-yo player who enjoys a beverage while playing.

Split Bottom Redux

I love this trick. Why? Because it’s a Split Bottom Mount that you suicide into….a Split Bottom Mount.
IT’S COMPLETELY USELESS. THERE IS NO REASON TO DO THIS TRICK.

Day 232 – Stuttering Laceration
8/20/11
There are a TON of weird 1A “filler tricks” that follow the “do something simple with the yo-yo and do something big and useless with the string” formula. Now that I’ve filmed and edited it, this trick actually looks really familiar.
So, there’s a decent chance that someone has already done this and today I “made up” a trick that already exists.
But it’s what I made up today. So if this is your trick…sorry, bro. My bad.
Yo-yo used is the Avant Garde by YoYo Factory.
Song is “My Weakness” by A Place To Bury Strangers.

Tap Out
8/16/11
This is a really hard trick to smooth out…because from the angle of the player, you can’t actually see most of it. Weird.

When you’re done ogling my friend Angela, note the excellent use of pocket squares in all shots of men wearing suits. They’re an accessory that is often overlooked and seriously underrated.
