I love using both hands to stop or manipulate the yo-yo…and in spite of how long I’ve been doing tricks like this, I still rarely ever see them. I think that might be while I still keep going back to them…because in spite of the massive volume of tricks out there, this still feels like “mine”.

People often ask me “How do you make up tricks?” and my answer is usually “Start doing a trick you know, and intentionally screw it up. See what happens, and go from there.”
So many mounts have at least two string segments sitting there and you’re only supposed to hit one. Yet we all hit the double sometimes when we aren’t paying attention. So, I just hit the double, and nothing but the double, and kept going with it.
Song is “New Math” by Drive Like Jehu.
