"I wanna be a yo yo man" he cried, "make me a yo yo man". But the yo yo master did not answered, he just kept on yoing.

I don’t care what the subject is but when someone is so passionate about it and explains it like this I have so much respect. I just watched a bunch of yo-yo stuff and I don’t even know anything about yo yos

[tyfmgem]

“This yo-yo trick is also known as the ball breaker, because it can break your balls. Lots of mistakes can be made with this one.”
He said, smiling awkwardly

[akumtheimchen]

Me who doesn't even own a yoyo watching the video:
Okay, so i got to be careful on my timing

[reshiram]

can we all appreciate the fact that he never stumbled and said "uuuh" while explaining all those complex tricks

[StwongDave]

I legit was a professional yoyoer in 98-99 (11th place US Nationals in 99, Yomega and Team Losi sponsored), and this stuff is so beyond what we did back then it's incredible.

[AarnavChopra]

“I’m a professional yoyoer” that’s how you already know the video is going to be legendary.

[MangoMotors]

It's always fun watching someone who is skilled and genuinely passionate about their craft explain things. It really makes me want to buy a yoyo

[DragonSlayer]

When I was a kid, people who could walk the dog were gods

[lookatsarthak]

I wanna say Boingy Boingy that seriously.

[FHL-Devils]

It's rare to see one of these experts SO comfortable in front of the camera. Very impressive.

Level 26 is so easy, just do a Triangle Dismount to Trapeze to Throwhand Chopstick to Triangle Dismount (via Brent Stole) to a Reverse Hook into Gunslinger Double or Nothing (Yuuki Slack) into Tension-hook to Trapeze into a Bind Breakaway Throw, transitioning into a Throwhand Arm Around the Arm Pop Element to Arm Catch to a Non-throwhand Follow-Through Transition to Chopstick and finally into an Inward Pop to Seasick-like transition to Pop Above Elbow with an Undercount Trapeze and Dismount into a Plastic Whip into a Throwhand Yuuki-Slack to Double or Nothing, followed by a Slack Release to Double Trapeze, Dismount, Bind, Breakaway Throw, into a Yuuki Slack to Tech Chopstick Mount and finally a series of small movement transitions to a wrist mount, ending with a series of small pops to an Eli hop and a Trapeze to Inward Brain Twister Bind with a Horizontal Revolution Behind the Back - Inverted 1.5 Horizontal Catch & 1.5 Mount Downard Follow-through Slack UFO.

Level 22: “We are now at a really advanced level now”

*Me lost at level 3*

[Darkkefka]

This guy is really good at explaining things, Especially to a noob like me.

[cyanscrewdriver]

Level 300: yo-yo is running for president

[DupreeTrickshots]

I don’t know how to make it go up and down more than once why did I watch this

[matt_sexton]

9:00 him purposely messing up and then acting sad is so adorable

[Themuffinman]

I used to yo-yo as a kid, and rock the baby and walk the dog were my 2 favorite tricks....here I am 25 years later and had no idea how much more there was to learn

[jamesjason]

Today I learned that there are 500 dollars titanium yoyos...

[josher]

I can’t even get my yo-yo to come back up
