yo-yo trick: smallpox blanket
1 month ago
this is one of the most complicated (and maybe fugliest) yo-yo tricks i've come up with, but i like it anyway.
starts with a weird houdini-x-mount. i named it because it ends with this flat "blanket" hold which shows a lot of potential, but resolves into emptiness; kind of a "broken promise". i've spent a lot of time studying the "indian wars" of the 19th century, and it never ceases to amaze me how casually the u.s. government made and broke treaties and inflicted suffering upon this nation's indigenous peoples.
disclaimer: i'm not egomaniac enough to think that You really want to learn my tricks, but i like em, and i wanted to try to put some trick clips on my sector_y page
is it retarded and obscene to compare a yo-yo trick to a historical tragedy? maybe, but yo-yo is about expression.
