Acrobatics in yoyoing?

[sega7]

As most may notice, outside of body wraps, there isn't much body movement outside of the hands and MAYBE arms. Are there any players that bring a more acrobatic aspect to yoyoing? Either that or use body movements as a bigger factor than most others?

some of mickey's floor transitions are quite acrobatic.

lol, yeah I remember seeing those, but I want to see more body "mounts". To be more specific something like a mount from neck wraps, or something similar, essentially mounts that involve more than the hands.

Team CLYW has a lot of guys that move more then just their hands ... Krisztian Kaluzsa and Adam Brewster definitely do.

Anthony Rojas has a lot of big movements same with Chris Faser.  Plus not to mention Jensen Kimmitt Sr and Jr (Gentry Stein).  Mateusz Ganc also has monster acrobatic big movements.

Then you make them. It kinda sounds like you're complaining about the fact that there isn't much of such acrobatics, when the fact that yoyoing started out as a simple transition of motion from the wrist.

There are plenty of people that do acrobatics, especially in 4A.

Watch some 2A. Koji Yokoyama is a good place to start.

I'm not trying to complain, its just I was wondering if such a style exists.

My bad. It just did, because you were saying you weren't seeing enough as you'd like.

Ha! I have to admit that was some kind of impressive. Something people can appreciate instead of a supersonic garble of string. Anyway, I just realized that there is more of a possibility to do body tricks in 5a than 1a, as you have an extra moving element [the cw].

Go watch the Duncan Viking Tour DVD, Steve and Fee try to add a little acrobatic movement to their routines at one point.
