This feels awkward, but I imagine it would be a lot smoother if I wasn’t so clumsy.

In The Shadow of Hankus Aurelius

I’ve been really fascinated with this one counterweight trick that I saw Hank Freeman do, and decided to take the concept and expand on it. Came up with two variants….this is one, you’ll see the next one tomorrow. I’ve never really fussed with wraps in any style of play, so this is an exciting departure for me in to new territory.

I’ve always really enjoyed doing anything that requires you to drop the yo-yo and then haul ass to catch up to it.

I remember trying to do something like this a really long time ago on a semi-responsive original Freehand.
I also remember smacking myself in the face a lot.

I do love it when I start playing and come up with something immediately. Makes me feel like a low-level, special needs superhero or something.
