UPDATE!!! Back to the Future!

For all of you ‘young-ins’ out there, this is the site that I originally learned how to do tricks off of back in 2004-2006 around the times of dial up, and dinosaurs. Sector-Y has a lot of tricks that I haven’t seen in very many tutorial videos. It is also helpful to study the illustrations when learning with the video tutorial, as sometimes the tutorials aren’t always 100% clear, or go too fast. Without further adieu, I present to you Sector Y 1.0, The Holy Grail of throwing tutorials

Update: I found the other site that was similar and had some great Steve Brown tricks!
I had to bring it up using web.archive (a site to view any older version of a website that may no longer exist) and I present to you…drum roll please! http://web.archive.org/web/20091126155337/http://www.yo-yo.org/stringsattached/yoyo/advancedtricks.html

I was looking for this! Ha! I’m so happy :slight_smile:

Dope! Thank you… I’ve been looking for some of those old videos.

No videos, just illustrations. Which is actually pretty useful in many cases. Especially for tricks that you’re trying to learn from a video but aren’t quite “sussing”.

Awesome! Glad I could help people out. There is another site that had the illustrations just like Sector-Y and had some ‘underground’ Steve Brown tricks ;D I’m gonna see if I can find it and if I do, I’ll modify the post and add it.

Thank you so much!!! This is better than any other site I’ve used :slight_smile: it gives written explanations instead of only videos. THANK YOU!!!

Hmm… Pretty neat website. Some of the tricks I have never seen. Cool!

Thanks! I was having trouble with one trick and there’s another way to do it in this section!

I’ve got to keep this thread alive! I also found the other site I was talking about! I had to bring it up using web.archive (a site to view any older version of a website that may no longer exist) and I present to you…drum roll please! http://web.archive.org/web/20091126155337/http://www.yo-yo.org/stringsattached/yoyo/advancedtricks.html

Awesome!

Absolute Zero is pretty nifty.

“You will land in a position similar to this one”. Guess they weren’t calling them “Man on the Flying Trapeze and his Brother” or “Double or Nothing” back then. :wink:

I learned Pink Hippo. It wasn’t hard on a Chief, but I can imagine it being next to impossible on a twitch responsive, thin gapped, looping yoyo.
