Shawn's Misc. Yo-yo Videos

Insomnia

InsomniaComboDivX2.avi - 554k
This a (perhaps) new style of yo-yoing that I've come up with. Basically it involves doing string tricks without the yo-yo sleeping. It is spinning as it swings around for stability, and winds up slighty as it lands. So, even though the yo-yo is dead, it can be dismounted and gain spin again for the new mount. I used a very responsive Raider for the video (has the milk jug permalube on it), but these tricks can be done with a yo-yo incapable of sleeping.

Bloopers

Hit myself pretty hard while trying to do a 1.5 to 1.5 suicide. Notice the stunned second right after..hehe.

OK, this isn't exactly a regular blooper, but I thought it was kind of funny. For some reason my SSF had decided to be unresponsive that night, and I had to resort to a manual wind. Only after watching it did I realize just how fast I can do the wind now.
