THE 5 Yoyos That Revolutionized Yoyoing.

Modern yoyos are significantly different than the yoyos that were popular 100, 50, even 20 years ago. This is a flashback into the past, looking at the 5 yoyos that revolutionized yoyoing and have led us to the modern yoyo.

Hi Gentry my name is Michael I met you 2 years ago a little before the country league/ contest. At the yo-yo museum in Chico. I would think you wouldn't remember me, but I just wanted to say your really good and keep it up your doing a good job! - Michael

Wow! That collection is insane! So much history in one room.

I still remember getting my first yoyo- Also the F.A.S.T 201. Definitely revolutionary to me. Now I rock my shutter wide angle daily

Yohans is my yoyo hero!! My gosh! I learnt my first ever yoyo tricks from his famous tutorial videos for Proyos. Thank you Gentry <333

I get that it's yyf and you guys don't like to acknowledge that your competitors exist too much, but like... how could you not mention the duncan butterfly or freehand? Not to mention some of the stuff that came out of yomega and yoyojam in the 90s and early 2000s.
Even with yyf alone, things like the superstar, protostar, and 888 were all probably worth mentioning.

I was born in 1990 and from a random conversation I had, I found myself buying a new yoyo. Had an xbrain and fireball back in the day and have an arrow on the way. Stumbling on yoyo videos as I tried to find the right one to buy with my low skill low knowledge level. I like that he keeps it short and sweet.

I love how the end of the video just turned into a plug for Gentry's store

As a history lover and a fan of the yo yo this is great, thank you guys for the great video

[jamesstraub]

What an educational video. And what an epic collection. So cool. Thanx

What a cool vid. My kids got a really bad yoyo from someone a couple months ago, and my brother and i actually had a good yoyo when i was young (it had a bearing but was responsive). So i did some research and got my boys the Fizz beginner yoyo and since bought Gentry's Replay Pro for myself. Sooo much fun, and so affordable! Thanks Gentry and crew!

I only ever played with an 80s style responsive when I grew up. My cousin who was older than me had a really good yoyo that I learned the basics on.
Learning about and then buying an unresponsive has revolutionized my life.
Contrary to everyone else, I think learning tricks on this is much easier and more fun.

[shixiongong]

This is awesome! Already left a like. All hail Gentry!

Duncan freehand was iconic I feel like that should've been there

[clg]

I always thought the Bumblebee GT was one of the most revolutionary yoyo's in history in that brought such incredible performance at a very affordable price. Basically every kid that was going cool tricks had learned on one.

Having seen the video, he definitely took a different approach by showing yoyo's that revolutionized but may not have necessarily been popular.

This was super educational and interesting

[zeromaroux]

Well, now im proud of my country being a part of history of something i love ❤️, a fan from philippines 🇵🇭❤️

[JamiesonM]

Was never allowed the yoyo's with the bearings simply because my parents "KNEW" that bearings didn't matter and all yoyo's were the same. Now im here with a hand me down Maverick rigged with a skate bearing since im broke for a while. Something theraputic about it all.

[yoda]

I knew it was going to be the shutter at the last one

[jalcocr]

Wow, that's amazing! 1144+ yoyos.

[BossClown]

SO EPIC.
Thanks for the very interesting video!

[botanifolf]

I'm starting 1a myself, and I use a replay, thx for making that yoyo a reality Gentry, rly appreciate it
