Yoyo Trick Theory 101
Tired of all of your tricks looking like a clone of a copy of a crappy trick that someone did back in 2004? Me too. If you’re having fun with your yoyo and you like your trick repertoire the way it is, that’s fine. When it comes to yoyoing, I am not the first to say that you have to remember first and foremost that a yoyo is a toy. If you’re having fun, you’re doing it right. That being said, don’t be afraid of a challenge, and facing a little frustration when it comes to your tricks – it almost always pays off.
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!)
