Steve Brown Hates Tech 5A – Jake Bullock
2/26/13
“Steve Brown used to hate on “technical 5A” because he is a cranky curmudgeon and thinks 5A should be more like juggling 😉 I’m not that into juggling. But I really don’t blame him because that “style” of technical 5A got out of hand for awhile there (see my video “Tosscore”, a tech 5A classic, but a little over the top).
Tech 5A to me basically means the focus of the trick is more on counterweight movement than yo-yo movement. This can be good or bad. Traditionally, an ideal 5A trick or combo should have both the yo-yo and counterweight moving at the same time as much as possible. In this trick there is a lot of complex dice movement, but the yo-yo is mostly sitting there. In comparison to tricks of legends such as Rafael Matsunaga, Miguel Correa, and of course Steve, this is probably quite boring and not very visually entertaining; but it hadn’t been done, and someone had to do it so I did. I am proud of it and consider it worth learning, if only for the dice stalls, which I am quite proud of and know have more possibilities to explore. The ending “dismount” where the counterweight pulls the slack into the yo-yo is now a fairly classic 5A move that I have seen several variations of, I am not sure if it’s entirely original.” – Jake

Sick & Bent – Steve Brown
“I’m really fascinated with throwing bends and plane-breaking moves into tricks lately. This is part of my ongoing experimentation with making yoyos do things that don’t involve straight lines.” – Steve

New Website for 365yoyotricks.com!
Hey everyone! Check out the new site for 365yoyotricks.com! Huge thanks to André Boulay from YoYoExpert.com for hosting and helping set up the new WordPress site.
All of the original posts have been imported, going all the way back to the first season in 2011. I’m slowly but surely getting everything re-labeled, but in the meantime all of the tags are intact and the search feature works GREAT. I’ll be relabeling all of my tricks from 2011 by play style, as well as adding tags so that it’s easier to find specific types of tricks by searching for suicide, fixed axle, stalls, etc.
It’s going to take me a while to get two years worth of tricks labeled properly, but please keep checking back for your daily trick and feel free to root through the archives, comment on old tricks with additional trick info if you have any, and just generally enjoy the fact that you can actually search the archives a lot easier now. 🙂
Also, expect to see more posts from this year’s roster of players about their plans and events they’ll be attending…everyone has a login and has been given free-reign to pop in and run their mouths about whatever they’re doing.
Welcome to the new 365yoyotricks.com…thanks for all your support!
