Robster Mousse – Steve Brown
10/13/11
The first bit I stole from Andre Boulay, the second I’m sure you recognize. Toss it to one of my ever present thumb mounts, and finish with my “Robster Craw” suicide that was a product of those brief few weeks when I decided that suicides where the only thing I wanted to work on so I made up two dozen of them.
I filmed just the Robster Craw suicide but it looked super boring just sitting on video all by itself, so I built this combo of “crap you probably don’t want to try and hit consistently on stage” around it just to irritate you.
You’re welcome. 😉

Bundle Combo
10/12/11
The first bit is an old trick I made up back in 1997 called “Buddha’s Bundle”, which then pushes out to a weird and kinda hard to hit thumb mount thingy that you throw up and behind everything to land on the front string for the triangle.
Expect a lot of knots. It looks uncomplicated but…expect a lot of knots.
Song is “Untitled Track 4” by Rivals Schools. It’s from an unreleased album that’s been floating around for a few years. No idea if this song every actually got released anywhere.

Mark Mont’s Weave
10/11/11
REAL TALK: Mark Montgomery shaved his head just to get rid of that awful weave he had. That’s the last time he goes to one of those discount beauty schools instead of his regular joint, that’s for sure.
And the irony? It didn’t look half as bad as my pajamas.

Hey Papi
10/8/11
See, when all these people are dogpiling me on message boards and saying I don’t deserve this award or I’m not as good as this other player or who the hell does Steve Brown think he is, there’s one thing they don’t realize:
I don’t care. Because at that very moment, which is incredibly important to them, my kids are saying “Hey Papi” over and over and over and over and over again because they want a cookie or a sandwich or a toy or to go to Chuck E. Cheese or they want to know where ninjas come from or what dinosaurs smell like or why eggs are white AND yellow on the inside.
Just a little insight into what happens in my life in between these tricks you’re seeing. People talk shit, but they can’t possibly match the volume of my children…hence, they lose.

I’D LIKE TO OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCE THAT I’M JOINING THE CARIBOU LODGE TEAM!
Ok, not really. 😛 But I did get this great yo-yo in the mail today from Chris Mikulin, owner of CLYW. Had a really nice time playing with it, so I thought I would throw him some love with a big ‘ol CLYW logo for today’s video. Thanks Chris & Jensen!

Almaty Shuffle

I really love cross-armed anything in yo-yo tricks. Always feels so nice….like mixing yo-yo tricks with a good stretch.

I should film this from another angle so you can actually see the string segments…it’ll make more sense that way. But I’m sick and exhausted so this will have to do.

Hanging Coffee
9/30/11
I’ve been twiddling with this combo for a while…it combines elements from two earlier tricks, but for some reason putting them together like this is just really addictive. So, after a week of debating, I’m just going to put it up here since it’s fun and it’s what I kept doing all day.
Song is “The Best Stomachs” by Deadsure. They appear courtesy of No Idea Records.
