New frontstyle trick I made up last night. Shoulda made it up earlier so I could’ve put it in the frontstyle video… oh well.

This trick has two very distinct Sebastian Brock elements so it’s mostly inspired by him. The backwards/inverse tunnel exit is a nod to both Mark Allen and Miguel Correa.

Two Birds on a Wire

February 28, 2010

This trick was either created late late 2009 or early 2010, but I’ve not been able to hit it on camera without flinching/smoothly up until a couple of days ago. Based off of the concept of throwback regens and 5A Freegens.

This trick was developed after playing with some ideas from Jason Lee, (Metronome) and Kota Watanabe, (Thumb mount tricks) and Abe Ziaimehr (vertical movement) and mixing ’em all together.

Demo trick dump

Tags: , ,

These are some tricks from the lost and found, pretty much not intended for public release in this form. Gabe wants ’em up here, though, and what Gabe wants, Gabe gets. So, here’s some demos at Gabe’s behest. (how many times do you get to say “behest”?)





Now that I’ve pushed all of the better videos down the page, I’m out. hope to return with something polished!

Double Trapeze Switch

January 6, 2010

This is a trick I’ve been working on for the past few months. It’s a 5A Trapeze Switch done with two yo-yos. It’ll hopefully be shot in a better quality for a clip video soon!

Superman II by Jason Lee

Superman-2Jason Lee’s original Superman was a pioneering trick. While common now, tricks with Spirit Bomb mounts were rare and difficult in the early 2000s. Jeff Longoria made the mount well known, but Superman was the first real demonstration that the Spirit Bomb mount could produce smooth, flowing string tricks.

2002 was the year of the sequel. With tricks like Orange Tulips, Yellow Airplanes, and Breeze all pushing yoyoing forward, it was only appropriate that one of the most significant tricks in modern yoyoing got a sequel. Thus, Superman II was born.

Breeze by Spencer Berry

BreezeBreeze is Spencer Berry’s sequel to Breath. It was originally created after Nationals 2001, but because there were no contests (nor much going on at the local Spindox meets) it was never put into a clip video. Over the past 8 years, this video has been lost, found, lost again, destroyed in a harddrive failure, and then miraculously found on an unlabeled backup DVD.

This particular video comes from February 6, 2002. It was filmed near the Social Sciences & Humanities Building at UC Davis. As far as I know, this is the only time this trick was caught on tape.
