Miggy is the shit, we all know, and there's not room enough for more Miggys so everyone else can do their own thing, what's wrong with that? </p> <p>to sum it up, stop complaining about "tech 5A". if you don't like it, make up something better and shove it in everyones faces. </p> http://yoyo2.com/board/topic/tech-5a-can-eat-a-bowl-of-dicks/page/2#post-623 Wed, 19 Dec 2007 21:28:54 +0000 Sebby 623@http://yoyo2.com/board/ <p>*sigh*.</p> <p>Crossarm movements, chopsticks in to tech 5a. Probably more but I just finished with a final exam and I don't feel like looking. Not only that but I have traded tricks with both of them and each of them have some basic elements of my tricks in their freestyles, and vice versa. If you want to look at some of that evolution over the years, look at my freestyles from Worlds 05 and Nats o6 and 07. Just proof of some of how 5a has mainstreamed a little. </p> http://yoyo2.com/board/topic/tech-5a-can-eat-a-bowl-of-dicks/page/2#post-622 Wed, 19 Dec 2007 18:53:09 +0000 rgodefroid 622@http://yoyo2.com/board/ <p>sebby, just so I can understand where you are coming from, could I ask you to provide an example? after all, you DO hang out with them more than I do (which is not at all, I'm just going by their freestyles).<br /> by basic element what exactly do you mean? a mount, or movement?</p> <p>basically, I just want an example so I can understand where you are coming from. </p> http://yoyo2.com/board/topic/tech-5a-can-eat-a-bowl-of-dicks/page/2#post-621 Wed, 19 Dec 2007 04:47:51 +0000 sterling 621@http://yoyo2.com/board/ <p>And just because a trick is hard, does not mean it is visually appealing, or that is as hard as another trick. "Difficulty" in yo-yoing, baring physics, is relative to the person doing it. Right now alot of tech 5a might be "hard", just because it's new and hasn't been explored yet, and people have yet to really wrap their minds around the subject. They were probably saying the same thing about tricks such as bee-sting a while back.<br /> qtf.</p> <p>and as for they use alot of the same basic elements. trapeze son! </p> http://yoyo2.com/board/topic/tech-5a-can-eat-a-bowl-of-dicks/page/2#post-620 Wed, 19 Dec 2007 04:03:29 +0000 Sebby 620@http://yoyo2.com/board/ <p>As someone who consistently hangs out with both of them, no they don't have the same styles. But that doesn't mean alot of basic elements they use aren't the same. They just build off of them differently. Plus, I feel as if Tyler changes up his style on stage, after all, the kid is smart and knows what he has to do to win. I've seen him do many amazing things that are not his "typical" style on stage while I'm chilling with him. </p> <p>And just because a trick is hard, does not mean it is visually appealing, or that is as hard as another trick.

I don't do hard tech 5A. I do shitty tech 5A.<br /> But,<br /> JonRob's 5a isn't easy. At all. You can tell each trick apart from the other because the mounts are different.</p> <p>Also, please try and tell me with a straight face that Tyler Severance's 5A looks similar to Jake's 5A.</p> <p>I guess I just don't agree. Oh well. </p> http://yoyo2.com/board/topic/tech-5a-can-eat-a-bowl-of-dicks/page/2#post-617 Wed, 19 Dec 2007 01:43:05 +0000 Sebby 617@http://yoyo2.com/board/ <p>Just because don't look the same doesn't mean their tricks aren't similar. Since freehand has been mainstreamed so much more, and especially because all of the names you've mentioned (minus Miguel) regularly collaborate on their tricks, they undoubtedly going to look somewhat similar. That's not even with 5a in particular, that's everybody.</p> <p>To me, I get kind of annoyed with tech 5a because there is nothing differentiating each besides each mount. I can pinch strings together and hold a yo-yo in place to throw the counterweight for pretty much any mount, and as long as the yo-yo is spinning, I can do it, not much challenge to it other than actually devising which mounts to do it under. And not only does it seem repetitive and easy, there is almost absolutely no flow to it. </p> http://yoyo2.com/board/topic/tech-5a-can-eat-a-bowl-of-dicks#post-614 Tue, 18 Dec 2007 20:56:26 +0000 rgodefroid 614@http://yoyo2.com/board/ <p>Seth, seriously?</p> <p>I watched Jakes, JonRobs, Miggys, Sterlings and Tyler's Nats freestyles.</p> <p>Don't even try telling me that they look the same. They all have very different styles and fortes. </p> http://yoyo2.com/board/topic/tech-5a-can-eat-a-bowl-of-dicks#post-611 Tue, 18 Dec 2007 03:13:41 +0000 Dana 611@http://yoyo2.com/board/ <p>Pon?

The only newer 5A player i see coming close to the understanding of what can be done with 5A is Tyler.</p> <p>Go watch the 04 5A freestyles (except for mine). everyone has there own unique style of freehand that really sets them apart. all to often now it seems people do it all the same. </p> http://yoyo2.com/board/topic/tech-5a-can-eat-a-bowl-of-dicks#post-605 Mon, 17 Dec 2007 05:31:49 +0000 Cebbs 605@http://yoyo2.com/board/ <p>I'm keepin away from Tech 5A as much as I can... even if it does screw me over in the end<br /> KEEP IT REAL<br /> don't hold onto that counterweight unless you are throwing or catching/switching between tricks<br /> thats what you do to keep it real </p> http://yoyo2.com/board/topic/tech-5a-can-eat-a-bowl-of-dicks#post-503 Sat, 24 Nov 2007 23:12:07 +0000 YomasterJon 503@http://yoyo2.com/board/ <p>i like a mix between tech and non tech 5a, its like freestyles.. id like to watch a freestyle with big trick sand tech tricks mixed in together.. for example in 1a i really dig eric koloski's nats freestyle that combined alot of whip stuff but he also had a bunch of tech tricks in there as well. Just my 2 cents, i dont really do much 5a so i cant really say much </p> http://yoyo2.com/board/topic/tech-5a-can-eat-a-bowl-of-dicks#post-500 Sat, 24 Nov 2007 23:01:54 +0000 Jon-Rob 500@http://yoyo2.com/board/ <p>more bull shit....... Easy "tech 5A" is easy, and hard "tech 5A" is hard. </p> <p>If you think "tech 5A" is so easy you need to step your games up and challenge yourself to make up something harder. Just like miggy said "you have a fucking counterweight tied at the end of your string that allows to have infinitely more freedom than a 1A player"<br /> Holla </p> http://yoyo2.com/board/topic/tech-5a-can-eat-a-bowl-of-dicks#post-494 Sat, 24 Nov 2007 22:27:55 +0000 jakebullock 494@http://yoyo2.com/board/ <p>tech 5A is by far the easiest, so it's not like anyone is doing it because of the difficulty.</p> <p>anyone can make up a shit tech 5A trick in 30 seconds. </p> http://yoyo2.com/board/topic/tech-5a-can-eat-a-bowl-of-dicks#post-489 Sat, 24 Nov 2007 19:52:55 +0000 sterling 489@http://yoyo2.com/board/ <p>the messiah is here. i think people do tech 5a cause its easy and other people will think there cool. thats not an all inclusive statement but i think it is true for some. </p> http://yoyo2.com/board/topic/tech-5a-can-eat-a-bowl-of-dicks#post-488 Sat, 24 Nov 2007 19:34:47 +0000 MiggyMigs 488@http://yoyo2.com/board/ <p>My opinion on tech 5A is that its mostly shit. Get your head out of a 1A mentality. Seriously, you have a fucking counterweight tied at the end of your string that allows to have infinitely more freedom than a 1A player and you're telling me all you want to do is sit there and do 1a tricks with cw releases? Get the fuck outta here. Now this doesn't mean that tech 5A doesn't have its place somewhere but it certainly should not be the main attraction. </p> <p>That being said, I also believe tech 5A is more than likely here to stay. The problem is that too many kids believe there is a direct correlation between the difficulty and quality of a trick. (We've already seen this trend with 1A.) </p> http://yoyo2.com/board/topic/tech-5a-can-eat-a-bowl-of-dicks#post-446 Thu, 22 Nov 2007 00:31:37 +0000 jakebullock 446@http://yoyo2.com/board/ <p>randy and dana have the best tech 5A. i don't consider anything i've done since the 5A video battle to be tech really. </p> http://yoyo2.com/board/topic/tech-5a-can-eat-a-bowl-of-dicks#post-444 Wed, 21 Nov 2007 20:18:52 +0000 rgodefroid 444@http://yoyo2.com/board/ <p>i agree with tyler kinda about good 5A being tech blended as i say traditional.</p> <p>good 5A is hard to do. i best be stepping my game up then. </p> http://yoyo2.com/board/topic/tech-5a-can-eat-a-bowl-of-dicks#post-443 Wed, 21 Nov 2007 20:17:36 +0000 sterling 443@http://yoyo2.com/board/ <p>as far as 5a goes miggy and dana are on whole different level than everyone else. </p> http://yoyo2.com/board/topic/tech-5a-can-eat-a-bowl-of-dicks#post-442 Wed, 21 Nov 2007 19:49:56 +0000 tyler 442@http://yoyo2.com/board/ <p>i was gonna mention that trick, but i figured one counter weight release isnt enough to classify it as any sort of good 5A. I like tech 5a to a certian extent. Most of jons i like, although there are a few tricks that i fucking hate. Jakes old tech 5A (toss core, ect) was always shitty, but his new stuff is off the chain. But i mostly prefer a mixture of both big 5a and tech 5a, and im sure we all know who that is.</p> <p>Miggy STILL wins. </p> http://yoyo2.com/board/topic/tech-5a-can-eat-a-bowl-of-dicks#post-441 Wed, 21 Nov 2007 19:18:29 +0000 AdamBrewster 441@http://yoyo2.com/board/ <p>actually, as far as "tech 5a" goes, I'm pretty sure it still originated w/ Steve Brown.</p> <p>Anyone remember, "Your Flight Has Been Canceled" from Glasslab3?<br /> (However, it did sorta come off as a joke trick so...) </p> http://yoyo2.com/board/topic/tech-5a-can-eat-a-bowl-of-dicks#post-440 Wed, 21 Nov 2007 18:43:17 +0000 sterling 440@http://yoyo2.com/board/ <p>that trick by jd was actually really good haha </p> http://yoyo2.com/board/topic/tech-5a-can-eat-a-bowl-of-dicks#post-436 Wed, 21 Nov 2007 16:10:29 +0000 Jon-Rob 436@http://yoyo2.com/board/ <p>Fuck the gay shit.</p> <p>Its all JD's fault; the last trick in Lion Flo was the first "tech 5A" trick.</p> <p><a href="http://www.yoyoing.com/videos/play.php?vid=1904" rel="nofollow">http://www.yoyoing.com/videos/play.php?vid=1904</a></p> <p>I also I do not throw "Tech 5A." I play with a yo-yo that has a counterweight attached called Freehand. I'll go trick for trick with any one, Big, Small, Fast, Slow, Tech, Astro, DD, Hubstacks, I dont care.<br /> Holla at me. </p> http://yoyo2.com/board/topic/tech-5a-can-eat-a-bowl-of-dicks#post-433 Wed, 21 Nov 2007 12:56:54 +0000 yuuki 433@http://yoyo2.com/board/ <p>So ive got a new tech 5a trick (that ive conceptualized but havent tried)</p> <p>I decided im going to do every picture trick i know, and then swing the dice around. And then of course end it with a GT.</p> <p>Seriously though, i dont hate tech 5a.
