This trick was inspired by watching my friend Jay doing some really interesting juggling body moves with a set of juggling balls that he absolutely hated. It was pretty amazing to watch someone create tricks that were completely equipment specific, purely as an exercise in creativity.
Song is “No Tomorrow” by Twelve Hour Turn.

An old and very early counterweight trick, and a guest appearance by the insanely talented Jonathan Richman. Thanks, Jonathan!

This is another little gem from my 2007 Worlds routine, although I can’t remember off the top of my head if it actually made it in the routine or not.

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.
