Suicide To Split Bottom
8/8/11
I was REALLY in to suicides for a while, and spent a month or so figuring out how to suicide into and out of pretty much every mount known at the time. This is one of those.

Kwyji? NO!

I think the name is cooler than the trick. Just a little thing I was twiddling with today.

Dos
8/2/11
This is one of those “nothing” tricks…as in, it’s something that the only purpose of the trick is to get out of it.
I’ve always liked catching on double strings…it’s something we all do by accident, but doing it on purpose feels so liberating. “Oh yeah, conveniently wide yo-yo? I’ll show YOU!”
Song is “Heartbeat” by dos.

High School Haircuts

An old friend of mine from high school posted some pics recently that reminded me of just how hilarious and awesome we all were when we were younger and didn’t have mortgages.

Roto-A-Matic

OK, so….do you remember those blow-molding toy machines they used to have at museums and amusement parks? You put in a buck worth of quarters and it actually blow-molded a small, shitty toy right in front of you and then dropped it into the chute, still warm and soft? And it was something like a brontosaurus or Abe Lincoln or some other similar subject…sculpted horribly but still amazing because it was made right before your eyes?
My friends at Rotofugi have one of those machines sitting in the corner of their store, and are working on restoring it so that they can make molds of modern sculpts by designer toy artists and give people a chance to relive their childhood with something a little more current and awesome.
I made up this weird Mach 5 variation because I was thinking about that machine and it’s name…Roto-A-Matic.
Song is “Hotel X” by Inquisition.

I’m going to keep starting off tricks with Yuuki mounts until he crawls out of his cave and tells me to knock it off.

Pause For Alarm
7/20/11
I actually came up with this tonight while doing yo-yo tricks for my kids’ bedtime story.
A few years back I found this great children’s book called “Slim & Jim” where the main characters are a mouse and a rat who are really good at yo-yo tricks. The kids are finally old enough to dig the book, and they want Jenni to read it while I do all the yo-yo tricks that are mentioned in the book. So during a lull in the story where I wasn’t needing to narrate the tricks, I twiddled around and came up with today’s trick.
Check out the book (available here: http://goo.gl/OvHJO) if you have the chance. It’s great for kids…or for obsessive compulsive yo-yo collectors. 😉
Song is “I Know I’ll See You” by A Place To Bury Strangers.
