Denouement – Hank Freeman
12/31/13
“And that’s it. We end the year with Hank Freeman, and we also end the project. Three years of one new, original yoyo trick every day and I have to admit…I’m exhausted. It’s been a great project, and I’m really excited to have so much modern yoyo play archived for future players to dig through. Thanks to all the players who have contributed, thanks to André at YoYoExpert for his support, and thanks to everyone who watched!” – Steve

Soloham Propeller – Rafael Matsunaga
12/30/2013
“This is it, folks, the last trick from me this year! You may have seen it done at Worlds this year. Or maybe Worlds 2005. This was an unsaid challenge between me and Takahiko Hasegawa. I was learning Soloham and he was learning propeller. We both had the idea of performing both together to surprise the other at the same time that year. I can never hit it too cleanly, but it’s always a thrill to hit at least a couple of reps. Happy New Year, everyone, thanks for following my tricks throughout 2013!” – Rafael

Rabbit of Caerbannog – Ed Haponik

“Cute little Cheese-Whip to Bunny-Mount to Rejection to Unfold to Sky-Bind to Lunar Landing.
Named (obviously) after the killer bunny in Monty Python & the Holy Grail, which is the most foul, cruel, and bad tempered beast you ever set your eyes on (with a vicious streak a mile wide).” – Ed

Umbrellas – Jacob Deffenbaugh
12/21/13
“Jacob Deffenbaugh is an incredibly prolific yoyo player…he’s just so far out in left field that it’s easy to write him off as a loon. Plus he’s just not as good at promoting himself as Ryan Gee, but he’s just as talented and just as more or less insane.” – Steve
