Some responsive stuff on my Weekender and some bind-return with my Icarus. I think whats worth noting is how many of the stalls and flourishes from modern responsive yo-yoing are working their way back into my binds with the Icarus. At first it was hard to switch my brain between the two styles, but now they are starting to all come together.

Loved it all, but especially the last one!

I wish it had stayed in frame, though. Maybe we need a tut… :wink:

Which one did you want a tutorial for? The hand stall at the end, or the gyroscopic flop, or something different?

I liked the whole combo at the end, starting at :50. The flop is really cool! So was the earlier one, that’s similar to the flop in “Mexican Duck Pond”. So cool how it changes direction!

Made a little clip vid throwing the “PockeHt” yoyo - newest/slimmest incarnation of the TMBR eH - dropping this Monday at YYE! <3

Damn, tons of classic elements but still fresh variations! Some of the other tricks are straight wizardry once again, and some of it back to back, just wow. And Spirit Bombs on fixies NEVER get old; I still can’t believe how anyone can get the spin time to pull it off. The stall afterwards blew my mind.

As per the topic of the video, that PockeHt looks like a really good shape. Im kinda spent out this year, but I really want one. The smaller width appeals to me since I feel like the regular eH is just slightly too wide. What kind of woods are going to be available? Rough weight estimates?

Great video, Ed. I’m excited for the PokeHt.

Thanks! Yeah at first I found it harder to play because I was used to the width, but now I feel like I play this one better than any of the older ones. You adjust, y’know?

There will be a LOT of PockeHts - more than any previous eH I think.
But I don’t think they will all be ready to drop simultaneously. We’ll see though!

There will be natural wood in oak, cherry, and maple with two different engraving options. And also at least 3 spectra versions, all of which are new to the eH. :slight_smile:

I don’t know the weights but I’ll try to find out asap.

How wide are they approx?

Awesome vid! Really looking forward to these!

Never managed spirit bomb on a fixed axle yet, 2021 goals.

All of 27mm :wink:
You really just need the 2 or so in the middle though.

Yeah, it was ironically refreshing to see some 1A stuff mixed in. Awesome video!

“What’s the killer backing track? It’s gotta sort of Cuban jazz feel,” he asked @edhaponik in an overly calm voice, hoping not to betray his mind spinning faster than the yoyo in the crazy highlight video he just watched.

Hahaha it’s “Run Fay Run” by the inimitable Isaac Hayes. :smiley:

Was happy got to snag one of these before they ran out. This thing is smoooth

Curious on some of yalls overall thoughts on how “modern” responsive design differs to say older stuff like what was available in the late 90s. Its such a niche style of yoyo these days
