Magnet Bind – Jacob Jensen
7/25/13
“A goofy bind that works on low spin and bends in a manner suggestive of being pulled off-course by a magnet. Since I go into a backhand stall, I tag a similarly goofy isolation pull-start on the end, then a not-terribly-goofy frontstyle bind to get it back to the hand.” – Jacob

The Kirby Complex – Jacob Jensen
“This trick demonstrates basic use of an ephemeral traveling loop. The loop is generated by the non-throwhand and travels along the string, and the yoyo intercepts it to form a GT. I drew inspiration from Doc Pop—not from any particular trick he did, but from his approach. As for the name, it has nothing to do with vacuum cleaners or video game characters, it was merely a phrase that was going through my head when I was developing the trick.” – Jacob

Chasm Crossing – Jacob Jensen
7/11/13
“This trick illustrates use of a crossing double upright slack throw, and is something of a sequel to Mighty Mousse.
Inspiration came from watching Spencer Berry’s video Debt in Knowledge, and the name is a nod to that.” – Jacob

Mighty Mousse – Jacob Jensen
7/4/13
“This trick illustrates use of an upright slack throw. When I built the trick, my focus was on the vanishing axle loop illusion immediately following it, and the slack bit was just a way to get there. It took someone else pointing it out before I even really noticed what I’d done.
Inspiration came from some of Paul Escolar’s tricks, and the name is a direct reference to him (“the spiky-haired freak”) as well as the way the slack loop seems to defy gravity a bit.” – Jacob

Bottomless Pit – Jacob Jensen

“This is a sequel to The Pit and the Pendulum, using the same one-handed friction repeater concept, but with a rotary rather than reciprocating result.” – Jacob

360 Freegen – Jacob Jensen
Date
“One of my favorite freegen variations, and also the opposite of how most people do freegens (bind, throw it up in the air like it’s made of scorpions, and catch it after it’s done unwinding like it’s an aerial). Ironically, *because* contact is maintained throughout the whole trick, it’s as finicky as it is rewarding to land. This freegen works best with a particularly slow spin, which is why I usually thumb start into it.” – Jacob

The Pit And The Pendulum – Jacob Jensen

Push The Button, Max – Jacob Jensen

“This was a trick I came up with while missing Nats ’06 due to car trouble. One of my first original tricks, and one I still feel is among the most ‘elephark’ tricks I have.” – Jacob
