Hello All!

I’ve personally had a few discussions back and forth with some talented yo-yo players regarding differences between the “modern” Sea Sick (more of an Up and Down motion), and the “original” Sea Sick (more of an “L-shaped” motion).

Well, we’ve had an opportunity to catch up Gary Longoria (at BAC), one of the most influential players of “new-school” yo-yo play, as well as the inventor of Sea Sick.

Here’s HIS (the original) rendition of Sea Sick:

Impressive, eh? I still can’t get my Sea Sick to look like this…soon enough, I guess.

Thanks again, Gary!

(Note, that was my X-Yo Xcalibur Gary was using, with some pretty worn out pads…hence the binding problems!)

Take the below guide for example, it was compiled by Shaun aka Nooby over a period of 6 months and is still being tweaked whenever another member offers any suggestions or advice. How fitting that Nooby created this for all the beginners!

*Update*
Hello everyone!

Thanks for all the love and support shown through the comments here on this blog!
We’re finished with one part of the migration, but more follow up work needs to be done this upcoming week.

No worries though, as we do not expect to be offline for nearly as long as it was these past few, painful, tortuous days.

Stay tuned for a rather special YoYoNation release!

*end of update*

Hey all!
We’re going to try for another migration tonight starting at 8:30pm EST.

We will be closing down both the store and the forums.

Thanks for your patience and support!
