Thread: # HIGH QUALITY yoyo tricks site #

This is the polish yoyoers initiative. 4 initial tutorials can be found at http://www.stage6.com/YoYoHDTV

These are all known tricks, but we're gonna keep them coming - both old-known-but-better-done and new ones invented by us.

If you would like us to publish any trick that is already on the web but in lousy quality or angles - just let us know - we're gonna record and publish it for you.

We chose stage6.com because it allows for storing and playing very high quality movies. The download (contrary to YouTube where you need some plugins) is also available.

Have fun and give us as much feedback as you can. Hope you like it.

old-known-but-better-done?

any trick that is already on the web but in lousy quality or angles?

do you really need to diss on other trick sites to make yours seem better?

The quality of your videos is really good, but there's not really any teaching going on here...you're not explaining what's happening when, not giving any tips on how to make it easier, what you should know before doing the trick, etc...

This isnt really teaching anything at all IMO...it's basically just showing, and not everyone can learn tricks by just looking at them...

If you could give some text descriptions or maybe break the tricks down into segments, I think it'd help people learn the tricks easier...

Just my 2 cents...

First of all I am not the performer, I just organized the idea.

Secondly the tricks are not that hard to require tips. I did not know the tricks (I am also not very skilled) and it took me one evening to fully learn White Buddha 2. Slow motion seems totally enough and if you cannot get it - play it frame by frame in your own player after download.

To tell you the truth I have NEVER understood text descriptions, especially if they were printed on the black screen and trick part shown later. I simply learned from what I saw on the screen. It's also a little bit boring to hear "throw it like this, catch it like so" - that does not add any value.

I am not trying to insult any other trick site. I think you got me wrong. We see a lot of cool tricks recorded on the web that you are unable to learn because you simply cannot see what is going on. As some of my collegues are quite advanced in yoyoing they simply offered to record proposed tricks in superb quality and angles suitable to learn.

The quality was nice, but I had NO idea how to do the trick after I watched it. I like it when the tutorial goes step by step.

agreed.

step by step trick tutorials are what is best for all skill levels.

try remaking the trick vids like that.

Can't you simply pause your video and mark the steps as small as you need them to ?

What makes a quality trick site is one like mastermagic that has all the tricks in good quality, different angles, and tells you step-by-step what to do incase you can't figure out a part of the trick

thanks for the link ouzo. just got an hdtv and the vids on here are awesome. but yeah it's rare when i'm able to watch someone do a trick and just pick it up. although i have learned quite a few things by watching takeshi.

the candy rain one helped me understand the magic drop thing at last!

It's nice to see it was useful for you.

If you have any requests - do not hesitate to ask!

ah, I misunderstoond you then...sorry about that...

and I understand that some people can learn from seeing only and some can learn from a description and a visual...but if you include descriptions for your trick and the visuals, it'll benefit both types of learners...it'll cater to anyone at any skill level...

to see what I mean, check out The Organizer's White Buddha Tutorial...he shows the trick 2 times at regular speed and then he breaks it down piece by piece with plenty of tips...then he goes on to showing it from the front view and then 3 over views (one really slow, one slow, and then one at regular speed)

The way he puts them together, it'll help the people who can learn just by seeing a trick and it will also help the people who learn from seeing it broken down, so it helps everyone...

I'm not saying the tutorials on your site are bad, just saying that alot of people wont be able to benefit from it like you want them to be able to...

Hopefully this doesnt come across the wrong way...I'm not trying to offend at all, just trying to speak up for those of us who cant learn tricks by just seeing someone do them...

good luck with your site

Fairly easy trick videos "defend" themselves with or without descriptions. That is the case of White Buddha. The descriptions in the video you posted are nice - still the whole white buddha is something like 6 moves.

We're aiming to provide also some more complicated tricks. It would take something about 10 minutes of footage to explain Time Twister 2 ( http://www.stage6.com/user/yoyopl/vi...Time-Twister-2 ) and the description would still probably suck.

We will take your advice into consideration. Let's just see how it goes.

Is there any other way to view the videos? Apparently my computer isn't 'new' enough to use the web player. Even a download link would be fine. If it's already there, clue me in, save me some eyesight. =)

PS: Ouzo, are you JK?

Personally i think it would be alot smarter to use both teaching methods, showing the trick, then brekaing it down, cause not everyone learns the same way, im really more a visual learner and just learn by watching things , when i read how to do tihngs it just throws me off and confuses me even more. But some people can just learn from reading. But your best bet is to use both learning methods in tutorials to teach tricks , that is if you want everyone to be able to have a good chance at learning them. Personally i dont really care to learn other peoples tircks anymore, id rather just make up more of my own.

You could state your focus as being "High Definition Trick Videos" (Wow, that's H.D.T.V.) rather than a replacement for current video sites and I think it would be very well received that way.

Great videos.

I wonder why it doesn't work for you. The player installation should be straightforward.

Anyway here are all 4 tricks: http://rapidshare.com/files/82080097/paczka.zip.html

Have fun

PS. no, I am not JK :)

The site url has CHANGED:

Thanks JCT for such catchy name :)

Thank you! It's much appreciated!
And why I can't install the web player?


I have Windows ME (in other words, I can't install it) =(

Dear lord! I'm so sorry. Please stop putting yourself through the misery and install a different OS. Here, quick!

probably because Microsoft stopped supporting Windows 98/ME at least a year ago.

After all this system is 10 years old... it didn't even had networking installed by default :)
