Snow day, so I made a video. Hands were numb, messed up a ton. Don’t know what I was thinking, this is what happened last time I did a video in the snow. Feedback is appreciated.

You should use a longer string, just saying.

His string looks long enough to me.

I liked that last trick. Iunno how people are able to throw when it’s cold out, it wasn’t even cold enough to snow this past weekend where I’m from, and I couldnt do anything because my hands were so numb.

I like my string where it is now. I don’t like having to order longer string like kitty, which is more expensive, plus I dislike how it feels, when I like the length and feel of YYE 100% poly.

I just figured that last trick out yesterday while fiddling around with Mach 5 style tricks. It’s a lot of fun.

I need to stop doing videos in the snow. Hands numb, too cold to redo stuff, and in the end the shot looks a little too dark, or a little too overexposed. I’m stupid. You’d have thought one video would teach me a lesson, but it didn’t make it through my thick skull.

Yeah I remember that. I picked up his Indecision or Bad decision, don’t remember which one, threw it down, and thank goodness there was carpet, because i hit the ground pretty hard. Binded it quickly and handed it right back lol.

If NER’s a two day event, I won’t compete…

But, I think I will be there on the “possible” second day. I think it is sometime in April.

I love that trick at the end!

I loved it! It looks great in every way. I like how it starts and the little bird is flying around first, and the scenery is so great. The shots of you yo-yoing are fantastic, super crisp and clear. I love the snow shots…amazing. I know it was cold, but sure was worth it!

Why would it be a two-day event? What does that add? Seems unnecessary.

Thanks everyone for the comments!

They were thinking about making NER a two day event because the last one went to 8 p.m.

Bad for me though. I can only get down there one day, which means no competing for me if it’s a two day event. :-\

Hm… Maybe if you get a seed from MA states to NER finals youd only have to go the second day.

But you’ll have to wait for MA states 😕
