This video is originally for the MFD Lesula competition, but I figured… what the heck, maybe you lot would be interested, too!
What you won’t see here are jaw-dropping combos.
But what you WILL see is a guy yoyoing with gloves and cold-weather clothing on, a dog, and if you look closely enough, a cabbage patch doll. At only 1 minute long and with some fun editing in store, the risk of boredom is low and the chance of a grin is high (I hope!).
Thanks, Yuki! I can do some trickier stuff, but mainly I wanted to have fun learning the MFD tricks. Some day I’ll bust out something fancier and edit out all the mistakes so that I look like a boss. Looking like a boss in one take… probably not too soon…
I’d rather have those skills ^^ than the skill and patience to edit video. It was my first time editing a video, so I had to learn those skills on the fly. Better to just be good at yoyoing, lol.
As it turns out, I sort-of-tied! They chose another winner first, but then decided to add me as a winner also. So I give the true victory to Andreas, but I’m still pumped that this video got enough love to warrant their follow-up decision. And I’m pretty keen to get my hands on that Lesula now!
I did grin during that video GregP ;D I could only imagine how even a competition player could do those tricks with those giant gloves on lol, so Bravo Sir! I would have to say that the video was very unique and would most likely stand out during the contest, so I think you have a good chance.
Thanks, Genji! The contest is already over and there’s a Lesula on the way for me. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Gloves were pretty tough in general, but the toughest trick was Tunnels, which requires slipping fingers out from between a bunch of wraps without messing it all up.
hahahaha XD this video made me laugh so hard! those faces and celebratory moves hahaha, adorable husky btw! good stuff GregP! I enjoy watching older throwers! they know how to keep it fun! us youngins are too cocky and try to hard! great video man keep it up buddy!
Will do, will do. The hilarious thing about self-image is that I watch the video and see 17-year-old me. Meanwhile I’m pushing 40.
That husky is my boy. Well, not counting the 2 human boys and one other canine boy. Speaking of being old, I threw my back out lifting him for that shot, though I’ve lifted him up plenty of times (much to his embarrassment) in his life. I’ve had a weak back for a while now and should have known better…
One thing’s for sure. I’ll never be throwing down with the youngins, so if I can’t be competitive I might as well have fun! Thanks for watching!
That one would be an Avant Garde. For lack of an MFD yoyo onhand, I tried my best to cycle through pretty much everything else I have so as to not focus on the yoyo itself. I believe most of the takes that made it to the video were the AG, a Capless, and a Wrath.
