Dead Styles. Art form, Theory, and Practice

What are some of your favorite “dead” styles do you frequently play?

One of my favorites to mess around with is Double Dice.
While, I’m not very good, it’s definitely rewarding when you land a DD trick!
Here was my attempt at filming 2 quick tricks…

The first trick is based off of something Iskandar Shah did years ago, and the second based off of… well, I can’t remember his name but he always made great art videos and he was from France!
Had many counterweight vids.

Anyway, this is probably my favorite out of all of the various styles out there.

There is another where you utilize a second string on the other hand, but not looped onto the axle, I can’t remember the name, but always found that one exciting as well!

I would love to chat theory, practice, and such about whatever styles are brought to light!

I don’t really play any “dead” styles, but I do enjoy mobieus from time to time.

Not sure it was ever truly a popular style, but Zammy rocked it.

It was cool to watch Jensen do tourniquet also.

I love Möeb but I’m awful at it, and I’ve had zammy come to club and try to show me and the others (years ago) but we were all perplexed :joy:
I get it, and I love watching zammy’s vids.
It’s even more amazing to see someone who is extremely proficient at it play in front of you.
We went to MWR together back in I believe 2012 or 2013. I can’t remember anymore lol.

Tourniquet is/was one of my favorite to watch Jensen play.
I begged him via PM to make at least 1 ghetto/cabin/LSFC tutorial of a Tourniquet trick and he did!
It’s such a neat style.
