Oh, don’t make that face…we all played with AstroJax for a minute there. This trick is based on another trick from a similar toy called Monkey Knuckles, that was introduced to me when I still worked at Duncan.
Song is “Haircut” by Flanders. They’re an old local band from Tallahassee, FL that were active when I still lived there, back in ’96 or so. Not sure if they ever put out an album other than this one, but I always loved this song. Plus, I had a crush on their singer. She was adorable.

Sorry for the lame trick name, but I really couldn’t think of anything else. It’s been a long day already.

This is what I was trying to hit yesterday. It’s a long was from smooth and consistent, but it’s still pretty awesome.

This is a “payday” trick. When I do shows for non-players, I end with this trick and it kills ’em, every time. There are yo-yo tricks that yo-yo players love, and there are tricks that get you paid…this trick gets you paid.

This is just the very beginnings of a trick, but I like where it’s going so I’m sharing a little early in the process. Fully expect to see this beginning mount turn up again later…

Today’s trick is less a “trick” and more of a nice linking move to use to transition between a trapeze mount and an under mount. It feels good, and takes up a fair bit of space…which is always what I go for with counterweight tricks.

Sometimes, I make up tricks just to look good on stage. I don’t care how hard they are, I don’t care if other players like them…I just want them to look big and good on stage. This is one of those tricks. Crowds love it.
