Robster Mousse – Steve Brown
10/13/11
The first bit I stole from Andre Boulay, the second I’m sure you recognize. Toss it to one of my ever present thumb mounts, and finish with my “Robster Craw” suicide that was a product of those brief few weeks when I decided that suicides where the only thing I wanted to work on so I made up two dozen of them.
I filmed just the Robster Craw suicide but it looked super boring just sitting on video all by itself, so I built this combo of “crap you probably don’t want to try and hit consistently on stage” around it just to irritate you.
You’re welcome. 😉

Bundle Combo
10/12/11
The first bit is an old trick I made up back in 1997 called “Buddha’s Bundle”, which then pushes out to a weird and kinda hard to hit thumb mount thingy that you throw up and behind everything to land on the front string for the triangle.
Expect a lot of knots. It looks uncomplicated but…expect a lot of knots.
Song is “Untitled Track 4” by Rivals Schools. It’s from an unreleased album that’s been floating around for a few years. No idea if this song every actually got released anywhere.

Old Man Shuffle
8/12/11
Went to a fancy bar with my lady tonight. Hence the fancy outfit.
The trick is a new idea…the “out” for the trick is the simplest version…I’m working on some weird chopstick/thumb mount stuff out of the initial mount but none of it felt right yet. But thought you would all dig the initial mount and can’t wait to see what you come up with for it!
Song is “When I Get Old” by Descendants. They are the greatest band ever.

Alternating Improbabilities – Steve Brown
1/15/11
See, back in the day, “chopsticks” were just called “thumb mounts”. Back when I was still cool and Paul Escolar had spiky hair. Waaaaay back in the day. Hi, Neff.
Today’s trick is brought to you by YoYo Factory and the Die-Nasty yo-yo.
Song is “Tour Of Bridges” by Die Hoffnung. They appear courtesy of No Idea Records and the overwhelming generosity of the gene pool that ushered them forth into this world. Mr. & Mrs. Marburger, I salute you.
