How This Guy Became a World Yo-Yo Champion | WIRED

[zuko]

"Hey this looks pretty cool imma try it"

*yo-yo smacks in face*

_cries_

Childhood memories.

[adorkable]

stop hating. 6 hours a day, for a whole year. That's a lot of commitment to master anything. That will always get my respect.

[TheThundercool]

"I'm a World Yo-yo Champion. Check it out"
Best pick-up line ever

[bredboi]

“Make me a yo-yo master!” He cried
But the yo-yo master just kept yoing and yoing

[AuromKantana]

I can't believe he created an entire routine for them, set it to music, performed it flawlessly, and then they just casually put loud narration over the music so that you can't hear it playing. Talk about a slap in the face.

[YeppyNope]

0:14 "whether your waiting in line in the movie theatre"

Him: Casually does a pro yo-yo trick in a movie theatre

[thejuicer]

I completely forgot Yoyo's existed until this video popped up in my reccomended

[mhmdmajed]

He probably watched the “Yo-yo master”

[anthonysaetern]

girl: so what do you do for a living?
*pulls out yoyo*
girl: we can skip dinner if you'd like.

[LeBeautiful]

One of the only few people that can defeat Thanos

[BerkSonmez]

“It’s something you can do anytime” 0:13 proceeds to do a 360 back flip yo-yo trick at someone’s funural

[jonasmach]

[Behoder]

He protecc
He attacc
But most importantly
His face don't get smacc

[fin]

Girl: What them fingers do?


Pulls out yoyo..

[josemurillo]

0:15 imagine waiting in a line then just getting hit by a metal yoyo out of no where

[NIGHTSTR]

His parents when he was a child:
Put that stupid yo-yo down!
His parents now:
Pick up the Legendary Toy!

[greenstonegecko]

Me: *”Make me a yo-yo master”*
*The yo-yo master didn’t answer*
*he just kept on yo-ing*

[-FengRunzeEgroup]

Also, the yoyoing community is the least toxic community imo

[Big_Con]

Me: *picks up yo-yo*
*it immediately falls to the ground*
Me: that’s enough for today.

[viccarpena]

Everyone: talks about the vid
Me: waiting for a PewDiePie related comment
