Onwards To Mayhem #dragoncon
9/5/11
You can have a loop and drop it, and try to catch it. Or, if you’re a sadist like me, you can have a loop on the string with a reverse spin and actually toss it UP, and try and catch it….
This is a really great example of how I can take a trick I already know how to do and make it harder for myself without making it any more appealing to anyone.
I spent two hours today working on this trick, then I realized it looked almost exactly the same as an easier way of doing the trick.
Then I worked on it for another half an hour.
What the hell is wrong with me?
Song is “Debbie Gibson Is Pregnant With My Two-Headed Love Child” by Mojo Nixon + Skid Roper.

Two things:
1. My son started the 1st grade today. Never have the glory days of my youth looked so very far behind me. It’s a whole new kind of joy, though, to see him just getting started. I’m loving every minute of it, even if it does make my grey hairs seem just a bit greyer.
2. If you turn on any recording device, my children will immediately demand your attention. Unless, of course, you’re actually trying to record THEM…in which case they will either stare at their feet in silence or leave the room.
Song is “6,000,000 Dead Punks Can’t Be Wrong” by Jacob Borshard.

Split Bottom Redux

I love this trick. Why? Because it’s a Split Bottom Mount that you suicide into….a Split Bottom Mount.
IT’S COMPLETELY USELESS. THERE IS NO REASON TO DO THIS TRICK.

Suicide To Split Bottom
8/8/11
I was REALLY in to suicides for a while, and spent a month or so figuring out how to suicide into and out of pretty much every mount known at the time. This is one of those.

I spent 3 hours working on something else that never panned out, and came up with this in about 2 minutes.
Creativity is a weird thing.

This is actually just the mount for a new trick I’m working on, but the rest of the trick isn’t done. Plus, this is stupidly hard to hit consistently.
Song is “Jackson” by Panthro U.K. United 13. They appear courtesy No Idea Records.

I know it’s an unnecessarily complicated way to get a yo-yo ready for a suicide but hey…why make things easy?
Song is “Holding Back The Year” by Lou Barlow.
Yo-yo is an original Steve Brown Edition 888 by YoYo Factory. Probably about time to do another signature metal, huh? 😉

Suiciding out was the new looping out before fancy binds were the new looping out. Which means suiciding out is the old looping out, just after looping out became the old looping out?
