We Are Not Amused

I know that to some yo-yo players I’m a “big deal”…but when I’m at home, I’m just that guy who forgot to take out the trash.

Confession: I filmed this and then totally forgot to edit and upload it. I actually got in to bed and then realized “Oh hell, I totally didn’t finish my trick for the day.”
I’m such a putz sometimes.

I love using both hands to stop or manipulate the yo-yo…and in spite of how long I’ve been doing tricks like this, I still rarely ever see them. I think that might be while I still keep going back to them…because in spite of the massive volume of tricks out there, this still feels like “mine”.
Song is “Kiss Kiss Is Getting Old” by Les Savy Fav.
Yo-yo used is the Avant Garde by YoYo Factory.

People often ask me “How do you make up tricks?” and my answer is usually “Start doing a trick you know, and intentionally screw it up. See what happens, and go from there.”
So many mounts have at least two string segments sitting there and you’re only supposed to hit one. Yet we all hit the double sometimes when we aren’t paying attention. So, I just hit the double, and nothing but the double, and kept going with it.
Song is “New Math” by Drive Like Jehu.

I Like Your Style, Ed Haponik
9/6/11
On a very long drive today (Atlanta to Cleveland) I found myself thinking about my buddy Ed, and how he’s just a classy guy who has a great style…to his play, his way of speaking, his approach to life…all of it. He’s just a classy dude, and I like his style.
So I made a quick little trick that’s exactly in his style…simple, smooth, and enjoyable.
Song is “Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh” by Say Hi.
