Weren’t these Miguel Correa tuts done by YYE? Why are they not on the site? Or are they on the site and i’m missing them, in which case that needs to be fixed. I think these would be a great learning tool for beginners, super clear pictures with things circled and nice voice over.
Totalartist:
Hmmm. I think both things are great forms of expression (writing and practicing) so I value them equally in my life. Is the 10 days/10 hours just “writing” or total time you were logged in? I always thought it meant the total time logged in, reading, writing, checking PMs and all that. I’m curious. :-\
Yes that 10 days is for everything, but if you saw how painfully slow I type these days you could easily believe it was all writing
I just made a thread about this so if anyone wants to go there you can check it out
I just put a thread about this in the general area and told people to come to this petition so your welcome

Anthony, how many times are you going to reply to yourself here?
You know, guys, this really wasn’t the point of the thread. I even asked people not to post other stuff.

Imagine: a forum thread that deviates from the original author’s intended purpose…!
I completely agree. These are old tricks. These are also the basis for all the “new and modern” tricks. I feel we should all make as good of an effort as we can do learn as many(if not ALL) of these tricks.
I’m content with these “old” tricks. I also want to learn new tricks. However, if I don’t learn this “old stuff”, I’m not gonna be able to handle a good deal of the “new stuff”.
And these tricks still appear at contests. Boing-e-boing is popular. Tricks from wrist mount, split bottom, front, back, trapeze, trapeze and bro, double or nothing and 1.5 mounts are very common. Whips, slacks and suicides still are used a lot. Behind the back leg trap is still used to transition from front to behind the back play.
As for me, I learn bits and pieces here and there. I’ve skipped some YYE tricks because I can’t get them but I go back and try them from time to time. But, I wouldn’t be where I am(which isn’t impressive, 2 years and only to Advanced 2 for the most part) without these videos. I’m very grateful and appreciative of them. I can still be objectively critical as well. Dated or not, they are still just as valid today as they were when they were made.
Also, there’s another store that has tutorials, and they have the same tricks in the same order that YYE does, and the basis is the same: Learn these tricks so you can have strong fundamentals. I don’t think this is a coincidence. I’m sure Andre and the people who operate that site came from the same “school of thought”.
Oh man, Does this guy ever speak wrong? Never I tell you. So yes I definitely do agree. Everything must escalate from easy to hard, once that’s done, imagination comes into use.
