Doc Popinski – Rafael Matsunaga

Wishy Washy – Dimi Nur
9/29/13
“I use to play a lot of Single A and when I started crossing over to 5A, I wanted to do 5A tricks that were originally from 1A, so that’s where Wishy Washy was born. It starts out with a simple 5A repeater (one of Steve’s early 5A repeaters) and ends with a 1A trick that most you guys might remember with a 5A twist.” -Dimi

Patent Speak – Jacob Jensen
8/22/13
“If someone wanted to learn Eiffel tower, and the only learning resource they had at hand happened to be a description composed of the extravagantly abstruse sort of technical terms found in patent documents, this is probably would they’d end up doing.” – Jacob

I Owe You, Jason Lee – Steve Brown
Another “Figure 8” inspired trick. Keeping it intentionally simple to focus on the circular movement. I really like the drop from the 1.5 to a trapeze in the second rep of Figure 8….subtle and small, but it feels nice.
Song is “Joe Versus The Tornado” by Army of Ponch.
