Janos Karancz is not human.

I still shudder at the thought of ever trying Grinder's Death Sauce again in the future.  It is without a doubt the worst hot sauce I ever tried in my life.

I made the decision to cancel the contest because it was ultimately the right thing to do.  The local hobby shop had taken a huge risk by offering up over $3,000 in cash prizes before a single sponsor was even on board, and the value of the support that came in from the yo-yo industry didn't even add up to half that amount.  Even worse, more than half of the yo-yo companies I contacted didn't have enough courtesy or respect to even respond to my e-mails, which I personally feel was a giant slap in the face.  So to follow through with NY States would have resulted in the hobby shop getting stuck with the bill, while the industry that collectively offered very little support for the event would end up benefitting the most from it.  I just could not allow that to happen in good conscience, and I'm sure most people would have done the same if they had been in my shoes.

Jesse Christe never ceases to amaze me with his yo-yoing, and his most recent video really raises the bar for slack tricks.

Merry Christmas!

BONUS RESOLUTION FOR 2014:  Break down and learn at least 2 tricks from this video.

R.I.P. Danny Severance Your 1A was ahead of its time, and it is a shame to know that you won't be around creating more off the wall tricks in the future.  We may not have been very close, but your loss is still having quite a profound impact on me right now.  I am truly saddened whenever a fellow thrower's life ends too early. Wherever you are now, I hope you've found peace.

Dusty knows what's up.

Yeah, that must be it.  Forget about the fact that I have a wife and we've been married for almost five years now.  Our marriage must be just for show, right?OR maybe I'm just one of those strange people in this country who believes in equal rights for everyone, regardless of gender, race, religion, and sexual orientation.  So if me feeling so strongly about equality means that I'm gay, then I guess it must be time to divorce my wife and get a huge rainbow tattooed on my ass.

Also, nobody even violated Phil Robertson's right to free speech in the first fucking place.  The government hasn't gone after him over his homophobic remarks have they?  Has he even been arrested for what he said in that GQ interview?  No, he hasn't.  So his Constitutional rights were in no way violated, and a few million mouth-breathing knuckle-draggers saying otherwise will never be able to change that FACT. Now of course, A&E has made the decision to suspend Phil indefinitely over what was said in that interview.  But you know what?  That is something that they had every right to do.  And if people in this country choose to boycott the network for that decision, then that is perfectly fine too.  That is what freedom of speech is all about, after all.

The only thing that is really keeping me from believing in God (or any gods for that matter) is the complete lack of physical evidence that they even exist. So in order for me to be able to believe in them, all I need to see is tangible, real world evidence that proves they are not just fictional entities.  Until then though, I will continue to stand by my assertion that God doesn't exist.

This may not be something brand new from me, but Bridge Jumper is still my favorite trick that I've come up with over the years.  It's just so damn fun to do. P.S. - I really need to finally get around to putting up a tutorial for this one.

I am already planning on posting plenty of my own yo-yo videos as I film/edit/upload them to YouTube.  In the meantime though, I don't see anything wrong with me sharing vids from the players who inspire me to keep throwing.

The wait was worth it.

Feeling this.

That might be true.  On the other hand though, throwing yo-yos still beats the hell out of anonymously trolling people on the internet.
