Here are some of the top freestyles from the EYYC 2010. Congratulations to all winners! These freestyles have been aggregated from two sources: Hellsing135‘s Youtube Channel, as well as CzechYoyo‘s Vimeo account. (more…)
The year 2000 was one of yoyoing’s strongest years. 1998 and 1999 created the craze, and in 2000 the bar was raised. Everyone brought their A-game. Everyone who started with the boom now had over 2 years of practice, and string tricks continued to push forward. This video is a look back at the innovation that exploded around the turn of the century.

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.

2001 was a huge year for yoyoing. Trick innovation continued to push forward, and new styles such as slack, and chopsticks, started emerging.
I had filmed most of the year so I didn’t have much unseen footage around to make a new video. But I knew the year was important enough that something needed to be shown.
Exit 2001 was a bigger hit than I expected it to be. I didn’t expect many people to like it simply because there wasn’t much new footage. With most of my videos, I wanted my audience to be impressed and blown away by new footage. With this one, I wanted them to sit back and reflect on the last year of yoyoing. The reduced speed and color-fade helped accomplish that.
With this video, 2001 came to a close and 2002 was ushered in.

Sweet nostalgia! This is one of my favorite clip videos. I went with some of the Spindox to West Coast Regionals in 2001. The van broke down a dozen times, we got lost in Inglewood, and stayed in a cramped motel room, but the trip was fantastic.
This video was initially made for the people who went on the trip with me. I didn’t think that most people would appreciate all the picture trick stuff, nor some of the goofy stuff. But I figured, since I already spent so much time making the video, I might as well share it with others who might enjoy it. And I guess they did. I can’t remember. Regardless of how people feel about this video, it will always remain one of my favorites.
