Ky Zizan – Total Recall
10/5/13
“Here’s a guest trick from Ky Zizan, paying tribute to one of the most ridiculous parts of one of the most ridiculous movies of all time, ‘Total Recall’. The original, of course.” – Steve
Yoyo used is the Split Decision by Werrd.
Song is “Evening Redness” by Wreck and Reference.
Hardflip Suicide – Ed Haponik
10/4/13
“Found this while playing around with fixed axle concepts on unresponsive yo-yo’s for my Fixed Friday column. Similar in effect to 3D Drewicide, but also totally different. If you watch the slow-mo carefully, you’ll notice a late rejection right before the catch which gets rid of the initial mutation.” – Ed
Yoyo used is the EightySix400 by Werrd.
Song is “Lodestone” by Waylon Thornton.
Mortal Pongbat – Jacob Jensen
10/3/13
“One of my older tricks, and still one of my favorite reveals. I wanna say this was originally inspired by a Doc Pop trick, but I can’t remember what it’s called.
The name comes from a rather silly computer game from the Classic Mac days, of which the stated objective was: ‘To win. And blow the crap out of your opponent while doing so.'” – Jacob
Song is “5” by Prism.
Yoyo used is the Irony JP by Werrd.

Varial Kickflip – Ed Haponik
10/1/13
“This came RIGHT out of Drew’s trick, Shuvit Suicide, in which he used a twisted up Trapeze to swing a Suicide loop around laterally. I’ve never seen anyone do something like that, so I tried to apply it to a Kickflip and change the catching hand at the same time. On a good day, you can really get the yo-yo spinning with that diagonal tre-flip kind of motion, but it’s not easy. Regardless, it’s neat to go from a Trapeze Stall to a Man-Bro Stall through a suicide.” – Ed
Yoyo used is the No Jive 3-in-1.
Song is “Coffin Nails” by Waylon Thornton.
One And A – Steve Brown

Dodgy Video Quality – Darnell Hairston
“I named this trick for the jerky movements that reminded me of when old TVs would go on the fritz and the picture would jump. Not for the actual video quality of the video, dodgy though it may be.” – Steve
Yoyo used is the Puffin by CLYW.
Song is “Advice (Instrumental)” by Mported Flows.
The Double McGuffin – Jacob Jensen
9/26/13
“I originally got the idea of a pass-through whip from Eric Koloski, but I never saw anyone do the pass-through without somehow supporting the yoyo with the non-throwhand. So I did.” – Jacob
