This is actually just the mount for a new trick I’m working on, but the rest of the trick isn’t done. Plus, this is stupidly hard to hit consistently.

Wolff Shuffle
7/14/11
So named because it was created in my buddy Eric Wolff’s living room. Hello, Chicago!
Song is “Nowhere To Wait” by Wugazi. Yes. It’s a Fugazi / Wu-Tang Clan mashup album. You can download it for free from the link below. It’s amazing.

Everyone has that one trick that is always the first thing their hands do when they pick up a yo-yo…their default trick. This one is mine.

I’d Hit That

I was going to call this “Slapbacks” after the club juggling trick that inspired it, but I decided to be lewd.

I love snap-starts. Hope I haven’t done this one already.

Happy 4th of July! Here’s a simple variation on a Nunchuck Shoulder Throw where you cross it behind your back to catch with the opposite hand. Simple, but nice.

Serpentor

Another new trick from the “snake mount” that I made up during this project. It’s shockingly difficult to get the swing of this. Hell, it’s really hard to explain it even, since I don’t actually totally understand why it works sometimes…but not all the time. Good luck with it, though…feels really smooth when you hit it.

This is my attempt to get into the more modern counterweight stuff that I see from players like Miggy, Tyler, Jon Rob, etc. I really hope it’s not just one of their moves, but I suppose that’s entirely possible. In any event, it’s new to me and I came to it honestly. That said…it’s a sidestyle reversal that starts like a Yuuki Slack….I’m not exactly diving deep into the creative well here.
Song is “百錬ノ鐵” by 鐵槌. I wish I knew what that meant in English.
