“I mean… haven’t we all heard what Drew Tetz has said, metaphorically? It all comes back around, Fro.” – Ed

Cheap Yakisoba – Jacob Jensen
10/24/13
“Of the many tricks I’ve built, this is one of my most favorites. Not because it’s exceptionally pretty, flowy, or revolutionary, but because it takes a few burly concepts and ties them together in a big awkward mess that makes me a better yoyoer for landing it. It also unlocked chopstix for me, much as watching Shawn Fumo’s Wrist Mount Project unlocked the wrist mount for me.
Inducted chopstix mount, knuckle split, wrap suicide caught with pinky, inverted induction to GT. After filming this trick the first time, it was well over a year before I landed it again. Partly because it’s so hard that I failed when I tried, and also because it’s so hard that I assumed I’d fail when I tried, and thus rarely bothered to. Let that be a lesson to you.” – Jacob

Flinch – Ed Haponik

“Try not to flinch, but try harder to avoid shock & damage. Let’s face it – yo-yoing needs more skinned knees and black eyes.” – Ed

Buddhacide 2 – Jacob Jensen
10/17/13
“A White-Buddha-inspired suicide, interrupted by an inner rim grind, and left hanging until I pick it up to bind with. Like many of my earlier tricks, it’s a blend of existing elements to create something I haven’t seen yet. I could imagine Takeshi or Guy coming up with this, though, considering how similar some of their tricks are.
The original Buddhacide was one of my earliest original tricks and despite its importance to my progression, I’m afraid it’s not terribly exciting from a trick theory standpoint, so you get the better one.” – Jacob

Fighter Fly – Jacob Jensen
10/10/13
“A picture trick named for its vague resemblance to those jumpy things in the original Mario Bros game. Those things always tied me up in knots. I just had to remember that a punch from underneath will solve this particular problem quite nicely.” – Jacob

Spike – Ky Zizan

“Another one from Ky Zizan…that handle loop that he throws and then uses to pull the Green Triangle? Totally looks like the spike on a kendama. Weird, right?” – Steve

Ky Zizan – Total Recall

“Here’s a guest trick from Ky Zizan, paying tribute to one of the most ridiculous parts of one of the most ridiculous movies of all time, ‘Total Recall’. The original, of course.” – Steve

Hardflip Suicide – Ed Haponik
10/4/13
“Found this while playing around with fixed axle concepts on unresponsive yo-yo’s for my Fixed Friday column. Similar in effect to 3D Drewicide, but also totally different. If you watch the slow-mo carefully, you’ll notice a late rejection right before the catch which gets rid of the initial mutation.” – Ed

Mortal Pongbat – Jacob Jensen
10/3/13
“One of my older tricks, and still one of my favorite reveals. I wanna say this was originally inspired by a Doc Pop trick, but I can’t remember what it’s called.
The name comes from a rather silly computer game from the Classic Mac days, of which the stated objective was: ‘To win. And blow the crap out of your opponent while doing so.'” – Jacob
