Stickball – Steve Brown
5/3/13
“The problem with excessive catching hand counterweight fiddling around is that it’s really not impressive unless you’re the one doing it…it’s so small and subtle and barely changes the way the full trick looks. Everything looks like a weird Beesting, no matter what you’re doing in there.” -Steve

Let’s Get Small – Steve Brown
4/21/13
“Yesterday I was making jokes about how small people’s tricks were getting. Today I decided to make an actual trick to make fun of it. I’m pretty sure this is literally the smallest possible string segment you can get away with…the yoyo actually has to hit my fingers just slightly in order to get into the mount before the counterweight is released.” – Steve
Song is “Courduroy” by The Wedding Present.
