Flip Flop
8/5/11
I wish I was better at making tricks that are left/right symmetrical like this….they feel so nice!

Dos
8/2/11
This is one of those “nothing” tricks…as in, it’s something that the only purpose of the trick is to get out of it.
I’ve always liked catching on double strings…it’s something we all do by accident, but doing it on purpose feels so liberating. “Oh yeah, conveniently wide yo-yo? I’ll show YOU!”
Song is “Heartbeat” by dos.

The version of this that I came up with first alternated from the left hand to right….so it’s an ambidextrous trick that moved way slower and looked a little awkward. So I cut out the hand-switching and it smoothed out pretty quickly. I think it’s a nice transition, and I’m also working on a version that wraps around your wrist, so I’ll probably tweak that out a little and film it tomorrow.

Where’s Yuuki?

I’m going to keep starting off tricks with Yuuki mounts until he crawls out of his cave and tells me to knock it off.

Hitting this trick smoothly is way harder than it should be.

Wolff Shuffle

So named because it was created in my buddy Eric Wolff’s living room. Hello, Chicago!

Bottomless Mount
7/11/11
My wrists have been killing me for the past week, hence the late tricks. This just a flourish for a bottom mount that repeats nicely…and doesn’t hurt my wrists.
Song is “How It’s Done” by The Dwarves.

A Circle And A Triangle
6/29/11
Today, I had absolutely no ideas. I spent a couple of hours grinding through, and had nothing. Trixie came running over at some point and said “Papi, make a trick that’s a circle and a triangle.”
I stopped for a second, and remembered that kids are the smartest, and most creative little monsters on the planet. So I took a deep breath, threw the yo-yo, and immediately just did this trick.
Thanks, Trixie. Papi loves you.

This feels awkward, but I imagine it would be a lot smoother if I wasn’t so clumsy.

A little thumb mount adaptation of an old Taka trick from the “Kickin’ Tricks” video. Feels nice to repeat.
