Here’s Tyler’s Single A promo video for his new yoyo the Severe. Most of you know all about Tyler’s world beating 5A but here’s a chance to see a side of him that doesn’t always get the attention it deserves.
One of the coolest concepts for a video i’ve seen in a long time, Gabe takes a bunch of repeater tricks, films them and then plays them forward and then in reverse one after the other. The results are incredibly hypnotic to watch.
Here’s Gabe’s description.
A bunch of repeating yoyo tricks. It’s interesting to see how time-symmetrical some tricks can be. Tricks are shown forward and in reverse. Some of the changes are very subtle, some look different but just as cool backwards, and some are clearly impossible to do in reverse. These repeating tricks were filmed during the National Yo-Yo Contest 2009 in Chico, CA on October 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, 2009.
The music is the instrumental track from “Broken Van (Thinking of You)” produced by Kno of the CunninLynguists (cunninlynguists.com & qn5.com)
Word has come in via Bob Malowney, so set your TiVo’s etc.
Here’s Bob’s original post.
I just got the word that this Sunday (18th) the ‘CBS Sunday Morning’ news program with Rita Braver will have the story of the National Yo-Yo Contest. Check when it airs in your area.
This is the film crew that followed Sebastian Brock, Paul Yath, and Joseph Harris to the Nationals and filmed for two days here in Chico so it might be a good length. I hope you can see it.

Check out this article from Sebastian Brock’s college, William & Mary. Pretty interesting read and a nice departure from the usual “Yoyo Player has World on a string” articles we’re so used to seeing.
