Day 232 – Stuttering Laceration
8/20/11
There are a TON of weird 1A “filler tricks” that follow the “do something simple with the yo-yo and do something big and useless with the string” formula. Now that I’ve filmed and edited it, this trick actually looks really familiar.
So, there’s a decent chance that someone has already done this and today I “made up” a trick that already exists.
But it’s what I made up today. So if this is your trick…sorry, bro. My bad.

Tap Out

This is a really hard trick to smooth out…because from the angle of the player, you can’t actually see most of it. Weird.
