Those videos were sweet! My hands are incapable of that coordination. Even with practice. I'm too used to using brute strength from Chainmaille and my hands shake like I'm on crack heh.

How long did it take you guys to get that stuff down?

Cool stuff Nathan. Where do you learn your tricks from? I know about mastermagic, any other good sites to check out tha yo?

nice stuff from both of you.

i learned laceration today. i wish i could string longer, that way i could make a descent vid.

so what do you yo with?

right now im using a mini motu + orange highlights (6)

and im trying to get a g5 sabotage.

I got a yoyojam kickside. I have no idea about how any other yoyos play. That mini mo-tu looks sweet in your blog Brian. Do metal yos play better?

Always fun to see yo-yo stuffs, one of my friend is an old canadian yo-yo champion, he only been that one year but been quebec champion for 4 years. He stopped playing now but he's still incredible when he plays some.

I think I am fairly experienced with how yoyos play. I use a modded hitman and an mkII right now. the mkII is pretty much butter as far as grinds and string tricks go. but the bearing is crap and needs a bunch of cleaning and the response is really hard to set up well. my hitman is dead unresponsive with some metal shims and silicone o rings. it rocks

I make up most of my tricks after i learned the basics from the yoyomaze dvd. it was really helpful.

i still need to learn suicides- coolest trick ever!

habitat · Post by **habitat** » 02 Mar 2007 10:37

Yeah, I learned suicides right off the bat because of my experience with a diabolo. Diabolo is all about suicides

Super fun, I'm still trying to learn the trapeze suicide to 1.5 mount. It looks so easy on the video.

Learned a new trick. From 1.5 mount, do the first 2 steps of Buddha's Revenge, but instead of popping it over your string hand back to 1.5 like usual, go under the non string hand over around both hands twice and let the string slip off the non string hand. Then it feels like cold fusion.

I think I'm going to start posting my new tricks here and show you what I'm talking about

Thinking about getting a yo. I had fun tinkering around w/ it while you were in the zootown james.

been working on double on trapeze combos. Also trying to learn that 1.5 laceration, it's weird. I think I might make another video soon.

Manlier song next time. Yo-yo is just too manly not to be accompanied by a Chuck Norris original song . . .

habitat · Post by **habitat** » 05 Apr 2007 16:42

Overrated is Chuck Norris much.

Working on some 5A tricks like meltdown and suicides both sides. It's cool stuff. I started filming a video but was feeling waaaay off so I stopped. It feels exactly like diabolo sometimes (which I miss a lot

)

Next time I'll use a prince song JereBear
