Jason 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 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.
i tried to come up with new tricks (or new takes on old ones) that were constructed ‘simply’. tricks that don’t go on forever, and tend to base themselves around one main idea. later on, at tn states, i asked some friends to give me a trick that conformed to those parameters. and i had a lot of fun.
music by eddie vedder and keyboard and banjo (- banjo)… who, from what i read in ‘hit parader’ are touring together this winter.
Hidemasa Semba is one of the most influential players of modern day yoyoing. In this video, he teaches his trick called Nanda Kanda. Nanda Kanda, Japanese for “Whatever,” was created sometime in 1999/2000. In addition to this video, The Sector Y Archive has illustrated instructions for this trick.
