Miguel Correa talks about his history in yo-yoing

I shot this interview with ‪@themiggymigs‬ on March 16th, 2024 in San Francisco. He was in town for Polacon, a Bay Area Polaroid convention, but came to hang out with us for the San Francisco Yo-Yo Meetup later that same day.

We didn't dive too deep into any one subject, but Miguel shares the basic steps for getting into Tunnels, something I haven't experimented with much, but would like to start.

One thing I just learned today is that Miguel thinks he might have created the Jade Whip. From YoYoNews interview:

"So, I have a debate with myself on a trick I did in the first Phalanx video, “Primus”. During my section, I do a trapeze, to a trapeze and his brother, but right before it lands, I whip it. I never gave this a name, but everyone knows it as Jade Whip. That’s the earliest video I personally have ever seen of Jade Whip, so I’m claiming it until further proof is unearthed. I never gave it a name so I don’t know who named it."

It sure looks like the first Jade Whip to me    • Phalanx Primus yoyo clip.
