John Jimenez put together a new video from some of the San Francisco players…here’s a few minutes of fun featuring Sonny Patrick, Ernest Kahn, Ryan Clark, John Jimenez, and Sean Stuart.
The Donut Shop Mixtape Vol. 1 (NSFW)
Filmed at Rolling Pin Donuts in San Bruno, CA this great video shows Ryan Clark, John Jimenez, Ernest Kahn, Sonny Patrick, and Sean Stuart throwing down and enjoying themselves on a late-night donut run. Ernest throws some burly stuff as always, and it’s great to see Sonny in front of the camera instead of quietly tucked off in a corner somewhere.
Music is NSFW.

I’m still fiddling with 1A wrist wraps.
Darnell! He’s alive!

It’s that time again….whereupon my friends and I do a little dance and pull some more tricks out of our butts!
I’ve always been a lousy 2A player, but I make up for it by co-opting 2A elements as 1A tricks.
Spencer Berry and Walter show off one of the classic foundational tricks that led us to where modern yoyoing is today….Rancid Milk.
There is nothing graceful about this weird trick.
I actually decided to sample the forbidden fruit a little this week and work on some counterweight.
Good luck with this bit of fixed axle nastiness from Ed Haponik. It’s ridiculously hard.
Start doing something you know, and then do it wrong and see what happens.
And Rafael Matsunaga gives us one of his favorite default tricks and it’s super pretty!
See you next week!
Walter Trailer
WALTER IS COMING!
The long-awaited signature model yoyo of Spencer Berry is almost here, and we’ve got a video to prove it.
Spencer, Blake Freeman, and Robbie Graham took some time to throw some production samples around and generally flaunt their awesomeness. If this doesn’t look like the most fun yoyo ever, you need to re-think your priorities.
Walter is available for pre-order at SpencerBerry.com.
Kiya Babzani Is Probably Your Coolest Friend
Kiya Babazani is the co-founder of Anti-Yo, the owner and operator of Self Edge, and is always on the list of my Top Five Friends Doing The Coolest Stuff.
Proper Magazine just featured him and his obsessions in their Favourite Fives column, and it’s well worth clicking through and reading if you’re interested in just what gets a serial entrepreneur excited.

Another week has come and gone, and yet we still made up another batch of tricks. How do we do it? COFFEE!
Colin Beckford reminds us that he’s a player to watch for 2013 with this nugget of excellence.
Spencer Berry gets small with some teeny tiny Magic Drops.
I took some advice from my son on what kind of trick to make up for the day. Never let a 7-year old make decisions for you unless you’re a fan of fart sounds.
Colin Beckford is back, with the last yoyo trick filmed in front of the old meeting space for the Cleveland YoYo Club.
Sometimes it really is as simple as “What if I did that twice instead of once?”
Not to be outdone by Spencer, I got even smaller.
And Rafael Matsunaga gets the hairy eyeball from a passing missionary while doing this excellent Figure 8 variation.
See you next week!

And here we go with another batch of tricks from 365yoyotricks.com guaranteed to be so good you’ll slap your mama!
It’s a joke! Get it!?
Spencer Berry never stops impressing us with his gloriously chaotic style.
I love tricks that require really unlikely components…or at least, those that are not likely to be kind to you on stage.
Darnell Hairston is flexible. But credit to Mark Mangarin who slipped this one out first without Darnell realizing.
This trick is hard and weird.
SEBBY!!!!
…and Rafael Matsunaga gives us a great repeater based off an old Alex Lozyniak trick.
See you next week!

Spencer Berry is all elbows, man.
Ed Haponik drops in for a guest spot and reminds us that Wood is Good.
Darnell Hairston, everybody. Because 365 is for the children. Puffy is good, but 365 is for the children.
NOBODY BEATS THE BIZ.
Drew Tetz just gets under your skin, doesn’t he? I’ve been messing with kickflips a lot lately. Also, dig that $200 Brioni tie that I got at the thrift store for $4!! SCORE!
And Rafael Matsunaga brings it home with an old trick that still looks new.
See you next week!

I post a lot of videos here, but with 365yoyotricks.com putting out a new trick every day it seems a little much to repost those every day. So instead I’m going to do a weekly round-up, which should keeps things more manageable!
The 2013 season features myself, Spencer Berry, Rafael Matsunaga, Jake Bullock, and Darnell Hairston…in addition to as many guest tricks as I can fit in there.
First up we’ve got some early tech 5A from former Trick Innovator of the Year, Jake Bullock.

I pop in again to take one of Jason Lee’s best-known tricks and make it about 2/3 as cool:
