Been studying for finals, and I needed to take a break, so I made a video.
I can’t do anything as fancy as some of you guys, but I find it fun and relaxing.
Bit of backstory if anybody is interested in how long I’ve been throwing:
About two months ago one of the guys I play pool with had a DMII on the table. I hadn’t touched a yoyo since middle school, I learned all the tricks I could, but I eventually lost interest. I played around with his yoyo for a bit, and ended up having a lot of fun, so I broke out the old FHZ and started to relearn. I didn’t really have access to fast internet back then, so I was limited to these books that some of you may have/remember:Imgur: The magic of the Internet
Now that I have pretty fast internet and loads of free time, I’ve just been learning tricks and thinking of (simple) combos.
Since throwing that DMII a couple months ago, I’ve pretty much tried to catch up and immerse myself in the yoyo world (the day I decided to get back into it was the day I signed up for these forums), and am making progress (I hope). The past two months have a been a blast, and I don’t think I’ll lose interest anytime soon.
TL;DR: Didn’t throw for long time, started again two months ago.
Just some dude that needs to do something to relax once in a while. Unfortunately I’m in Cali =/
Don’t think I’m qualified to be somebody’s master though!
Thanks, I really prefer a slower/smooth/flowy style of play, not a huge fan of a lot of string hits/complicated string formation stuff, I think the way I play is an “older” style from what I’ve seen/read. I can actually play faster than this, but it’s just not as fun and relaxing.
btw, I’ll probably be hittin you up for some string pretty soon, been waiting till I needed new string to try out your stuff.
Only stuff I knew from before I learned from those books. I guess the hardest thing in those books would be the looping stuff (still can’t really loop, can only do maybe 3-5 good inside loops before messing up) and the hydrogen bomb. I was able to throw a trapeze and double or nothing, as well as transition between them fairly easily, but beyond that I couldn’t do much.
I remember when I had to learn tricks from books too, and that was ridiculously hard. I really like how smooth you are because it makes your tricks even better.
