Hey Everyone!
Ive always loved the President’s Bind. This bind was not created by me, this bind was created by Vashek Kroutil. I tried learning this about 9 months ago, but wasn’t able to learn from the video Vashek has made. After learning it from our fellow forum member Plank4God, I had it mastered. Here’s a tutorial I created for anyone who would like to learn it! Thanks for watching! Feedback is much appreciated!
This is not the presidents bind, it’s close, very close, but not the presidents bind.You have by no means mastered it either.
Up until 0:18 you have the steps perfectly but then it strays off from the original. The first detail that I noticed was off was when Vashek does it you notice the string spins for a much longer duration(yours 0:19) (his 0:06). This is because he’s actually spinning it “against the grain” and then letting it spin back. Also he doesn’t wrap the string around the yoyo like at 0:18, he wraps the yoyo around the string. This makes the same configuration but aesthetically is very different.
I hope you consider changing the title of the video to President’s Bind Variation Tutorial.
The reason I sound so critical is simply because I love this bind and I don’t want any body learning it the wrong way. The way you did it is perfectly fine, it’s just not the same as Vashek’s.
Thanks for the feedback! I do know he spins it against the grain, but have learned that that tends to give you the “snags” when it comes back up after a throw or two.
Nice tutorial either way. Easy to follow, though I have one problem with this and also Vashek’s…
The part that’s cool is the bind. But there’s so much stuff leading up to it. It’s really a trick that’s called “President’s Bind” yet I keep expecting to see a tutorial for just the bind part. Or to put this another way: I know you probably need to have the yoyo spinning a certain way and the strings in a specific configuration, but isn’t there a faster and less ornate way of getting just to the bind itself?
If not, I guess I’ll just have to dislike the name “President’s Bind” as a misleading name for a trick.
Thanks for the video! i learned your way, then, seince i knew now to do it your way i learned vasheks way and it was realy easy! Thanks alot! (im not being sarcastic)
