Chinese Yo-Yo videos
I'm collecting online Chinese Yo-Yo videos for performers to get ideas from. The internet is a grand thing. Whereas before, one had to find a Yo-Yo Sifu to study under to become a yo-yoist, now, anybody can pick up tricks! First part is bunch of synchronized tricks. Then comes the mind-blowing solo part. Although there are only two performers, the tricks are very advanced. (Bad choice of background music though, IMO) Why is the audience so passive in this one? The performers are really good but it sounds like only one person is applauding ^^; From the University of Illinois but performing at Northwestern--"The House of Flying Yo-Yos" start out mediocre then they go into the solo section...they have amazing leg orbit tricks, and watch the guy with the black gloves! He does stuff with the wooden part of the sticks that I've never thought of. I am fairly certain I actually have met that guy with the black gloves before... This video has a performer who's relatively low-level (but still much higher than me). It also has a rowdy audience. So you can pick out do-able tricks that are the most popular to perform. This is the most elaborately choreographed video I've seen thus far. More prodigies showing off their stuff. Makes me feel so clumsy in comparison. This is the video to look for if you want some group performance ideas! This is the viral Chinese yo-yo video (as viral as any Chinese yo-yo video could go, at least) of the Texas team. The program uses live guqin music, and has a long string segment. Advanced synchronized tricks make this video a source of inspiration, but not necessarily a realistic source of new tricks for a novice like myself. A bit hectic. Tricks are relatively low level. Holy crap. How can kids so short be so good? Holy crap agaiN! Relatively low level--but very good use of a third-party. The tricks are original and creative. Plus, I think this is the only white performer in all of these videos, so bonus points to him (affirmative action). This video has the best girl performer in all these videos. Again, bonus affirmative action points.
