"Unless we change our direction, we are likely to
end up
where we are headed." Chinese Proverb.
TRICKS
My favorite trick is a trick called "Rock the Baby Stupid Style." It
was invented by Eric Richardson, "The Yoster," from Bradenton, Fla.
This
trick qualifies as a stupid yo-yo trick.
1) Throw a sleeper.
2) Put your knees together and trap the yo-yo string between your
legs.
3) Swing the yo-yo back and forth between your knees.
Stupid!
4) Let go of the string with your knees, and snap the yo-yo back up
to your hand.
This trick is illustrated by my daughter in our book,
"It's Yo-Yo
Time."
I also like another trick a lot called "Moonwalk the Dog." I was
taught
to do a decent "Moonwalk" (remember Michael Jackson?) by a juggler friend
at the International Juggler's Association Convention a few years back.
The way to do this trick is to walk a dog, and then proceed to walk
backwards doing a decent "Moonwalk" dance movement. It always gets
a laugh!
So far, I am still learning to get around the Internet, so I only have one
favorite link so far... They will increase as my daughter shows me
more and more of what is out there. I of course like our own
homepage, and I
also like our tapes
page. I also like
my son's and
daughter's pages, and no,
they did not make me put this on here. My other favorite page? Why
the American Yo-Yo Association's link page,
of course!
I have a favorite joke my daughter never tires of telling
(because I laugh
every time I hear it.) It goes like this:
A duck walks into a grocery store and asks the manager, "Do you have any
duck food here?"
The manager says, "No! And you'd better leave and never come
back."
The next day, the duck walks into the same grocery store and says, "Do you
have any duck food here?"
The manager bellows, "NO! And if you come back, I'm going to nail
your
webbed feet to the floor."
The next day, the duck walks in again, and asks the manager, "Do you have
any nails?"
The manager looks at him quizzically and says, "No."
The duck says, "Good... Do you have any duck food?"
I am currently working on a brand new novel about the
yo-yo, and I am
revising "It's Yo-Yo Time." For more details about "It's Yo-Yo Time"

Reach for the TOP!
Shoot for the Moon, and even if you miss, you'll wind up among the
stars.
As a friend of mine likes to say, "Show me a man who can yo-yo, and I'll
show you a man who has wasted a lot of time."
And always remember: There are no dumb questions, only dumb yo-yo
tricks.
