YuukYuuk – Spencer Berry
2/20/13
“I’ve done the 1.5 pop to effortless whip component of this trick for many years. Usually when I show it to a yoyo player, they know it as a Yuuki Spencer trick. It looks slightly puzzling if performed with minimal hand movement.
So I added a gunslinger type move and repeated it. And as per most of my basic hold repeaters – there is a lot of room to tweak it out in your own manner (pinwheel one spot, pop in another, alternate sides, whatever kind of hand movements you want to center it around). This is a feel good trick and not as difficult as some of the variations I’ll be practicing for later in the year.” – Spencer
Song is “St. James Infirmary” by Cab Calloway.

Rogue – Spencer Berry
2/13/13
“Rogue was a quick fire sequel that came right after Wonder Woman in 2001. It has a similar style and pace.
The most notable component is probably the Magic Drop to Spirit Bomb move, which I was quite proud to discover. When I took this trick to the Spindox club, Paul Escolar showed me Yellow Airplanes, which was brand new at the time. Yellow Airplanes has the same Magic Drop in it.
This coincidence stifled my desire to record this trick and I moved onto to other tricks. Somehow, I have remember this trick for all those years, and now it shall see the light of day.” – Spencer
Song is “Easier” by Grizzly Bear.
Yoyo used is the 4mm YWET by Anti-yo.
