Archery Kickflips – Ed Haponik
11/15/13
“This trick combines two of Drew Tetz’s concepts, the 3-fingered Archery Trapeze hold and a Kickflip Suicide.”
Yoyo used is the SPYYxTMBR eh.
Song is “Seperator” by Ex Cops.
Mystic Dumps – Ed Haponik
11/5/13
“Magic Drops are generally used to go from a Trapeze hold directly to a Man-and-His-Bro hold. Well, MYSTIC DUMPS use Drew Tetz’s Dumptruck-regen concept to bring a Man-and-His-Bro stall directly to a Trapeze stall. So, BLAM. (Getting 3 in a row actually does take a lot of control.)” – Ed

Measured Hop – Steve Brown
5/11/13
“Came up with a trick today, turned out it was an Ed Haponik trick already. Went back to the drawing board and ended up with this oddball that started with a Tape Measure (inspired by Ed, who was inspired by Jon Gates) and ends with a null hop (inspired by Drew Tetz). I like twiddling with other yoyo players styles sometimes.” – Steve

Nap Time – Steve Brown
4/25/13
“Based loosely off a totally inappropriate (but hilarious) trick called “Robert Downey Jr.”, but with less Steve Brown and more Drew Tetz. I swear, that makes sense to someone. Besides me.” – Steve
Song is “Easy Living” by The Sights.
Yoyo used is the Velocity by YoYoFactory. (With a wood axle!)

Frustration – Steve Brown
“I’m pretty sure the only possible function of this trick is to irritate the living sh*t out of me. I might impress Drew Tetz. Maybe. But mostly, I think it’s just going to haunt me and remind me that since I gained all this weight, doing anything behind my back is a lot harder than it used to be.” – Steve

Song is “The Overweight Lovers” by Karl Hendricks Trio.
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
Song is “Know Her Name” by the Pow Wows.

Handcuffs – Jake Bullock
2/19/13
“First did a variation of this trick in a 5A video battle against Drew Tetz entitled Drake Bulletz. Drew won the battle, but that’s because his 5A is on another level. Just double wrist wraps with the counterweight and yo-yo. Very difficult to hit clean and uncomfortable to perform. Handcuffs are also uncomfortable to wear, thus the name.” – Jake
Song is “Tachi Agare” by Nomad.
