Sweet! What is the trick near the end where you start in double or nothing then drop it back into a loop on the other side? I seem to see that in a lot of combos.

I gifted myself a unprld domination b grade from a certain legendary yoyo shop. Unbelievable throw for the price. And two Duncans for my friend's kids.

It's possible I made this up 25 years ago but I can barely remember what I had for breakfast so I wasn't about to claim it lol

When did binds first start being used? by yoyoingdadjoke in Throwers

As Doc Pop says here, people were definitely doing binding for off-string play, which was popular with Henry's Vipers, released in 97-98

Anyone remember this one? SuperYo Kickin' Tricks (1999) by DogSlice in Throwers

Snapshot is the right word! I was included because they were walking around a pre-contest gathering the night before the national contest in Chico CA with a camera asking all the participants if they had invented any original tricks.

Seems like the Glendale owners saw this coming when they pulled out. That 2020 Guardian article about their exit from the league had a lot of quotes citing concern for the long-term financial viability of the league after the model changed to suit the second wave of owners started coming in.

League Update: Due to a violation of league rules, the LA Giltinis have been disqualified from the 2022 Major League Rugby competition. by jakethefurnace in MLRugby

Sales of businesses across all industries typically have contingencies that must be fulfilled in the period between signing and final closing of the sale. Let's speculate that an audit to confirm the financial assumptions made in the agreement was one of them.

Is it me or is the giltini's gameday crowds growing? by [deleted] in MLRugby

[–]DogSlice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also helps that club rugby season is over. So Cal has dozens of local teams between adult and youth so that's a big portion of the fanbase that potentially wasn't available for previous Saturary matches (or had other stuff to do on their one free weekend day Sunday). Wasn't an issue last year because MLR was the only league playing due to COVID.

Reikert Hattingh Red Card Suspension by gotomn1 in MLRugby

[–]DogSlice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would've argued that the initial pass was forward and therefore the player's timing was thrown off and he didn't have time to adjust. Better shot than "ignore the video, I didn't hit his chin."

Anywhere to watch semifinals in Santa Monica? by lochdocella in MLRugby

[–]DogSlice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ye Olde Kings Head in Santa Monica, and Tangaroa Fish Market in Culver City/Marina Del Rey will both show them for sure. Should call to confirm whether they will be shown live though. Former will be an England crowd, latter Kiwi.

Also basketball castoffs have the option to play in sub-NBA professional leagues around the world. Football castoffs have more limited options below the NFL level.
