big thanks to steve buffell of SPYY, along with tony basch, randy jansen, steven kinder, mikhail tulabut, tom connolly, ann connolly, joe wilso, fred rowland, jon saelens, gee cheung, samm scot, and charles schluer… and all of the people i meant to get in but couldn’t… also guys like john bot, sid, drew, jacob, seth, and steve, who [very] obviously inspire a lot of the tricks i like to do.
some new, some downright-ancient, some unresponsive, some ultra-snappy. hope you like it!

i like drizzly days, and i like wood yo-yo’s.
just some low-fi back-porch tricks in the late afternoon. music is ‘big country’ by edgar meyer (because acoustical music goes with wood yo-yoing). the yo-yo’s are ‘clean machine’ no jive 3-in-1’s. i suppose i should have put together a better outfit, but i ended up chasing my little son out into the mud anyway.
respect and salutations to my colleagues in the wood thread, and any b.rothers and sisters who might appreciate simple yo-yo playing in the almost-springtime.

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.
i used my spyy flying v.
