Gambit
5/19/11
Every time I pick up a yo-yo with a counterweight attached, a little devil pops up on my shoulder. He looks like Jay Gilligan. He pokes me in the side of my face with a tiny pitchfork and says “Make it more like juggling.”

When I first started throwing, I was pretty taken with the way the old timers did things. I still am, really. But the ease with which they busted out tricks that are incomprehensibly easy to us today is still a glorious thing. One of my all-time favorites was “Bank Deposit” but I had a generational disadvantage….I wear jeans. The old timers were always wearing khakis or chinos or suits, and their pockets were suited to this trick…mine would barely open when I jammed my hand into them. So in 1996 I came up with this version which works really nicely on a responsive looper, and lets you get away with just wearing a shirt that has a chest pocket.

If you don’t catch the loop, this will also usually act as a bind return…for those of you who (like me) enjoy making something simply like “winding up the yo-yo” into a 50/50 chance for humiliation.

Peekaboo

It’s a repeater, but trying to land it in the dark with a really bright light in my face limited me to just one clean rep. Feels super nice to hit, though.
Song is “Onward & Overboard” by Small Brown Bike. They appear courtesy of No Idea Records.
(This is the opening track on their new album, “Fell & Found”, and it’s amazing. Go get it. Now.)
