Nunchuck Flourish
3/31/11
This is a very subtle flourish on a standard Nunchuck that I’ve been messing with lately. It’s odd, but adds a bit of flair. The key is to pull your catch hand to the right of the yo-yo and allow the counterweight to wrap around your finger there, then raising your arm and letting the counterweight hit your shoulder to reverse and slide back to your hand. It’s more intuitive to do than to explain.

Some days I look at the clock and think “Oh man, I gotta film a trick today. I think I want to make a new one”. And then I get up and play until I’ve come up with something new. Then I go outside and film it.
That’s how I end up with weird and stupidly hard things like this trick. It took me 3 tries to hit it, then I got out the camera and it took me ten minutes.
Never underestimate how much harder something can be made by cold and wind.

Just something I came up with today while I was fiddling around after realizing “Oh crap, I haven’t filmed a trick yet today, I better make one up!”

Chase ‘n’ Squirrels
3/16/11
Today we buried one of our dogs, Chase. He was 11 years old, and his health has been declining for a while now. He hadn’t kept any food down for a couple of days, and yesterday he could barely walk…so we made the decision to bring him in to the vet today and have him put to sleep.
Last night he curled up in bed with us. In the middle of the night he got out of bed, laid down on the floor next to Jenni, and went back to sleep. He didn’t wake up.
He knew it was coming, and he knew it was time. We’ll miss him a lot, but we buried him today in the backyard so he could keep on giving those squirrels hell.
Miss you, handsome. I made this trick today, just for you. It’s damn hard to catch that loop at the end, but it’s worth chasing…just like those squirrels.

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.

When “Triple A” yo-yo play hit the scene, the very first thing we did was try and just adapt all the tricks we could already do. I, of course, went right for the hard ones. The very first Triple A trick I created was Assisted Suicide. I’ll get it on film eventually. But this is one of the first wave of adaptations I made from regular string tricks to Triple A, and still one of my favorites.
Song is “Mentor” by Torche.
Yo-yos used are Die-Nastys by YoYo Factory.
