Man this takes me back. I remember when I stopped yoyoing for a while this guy was the last person I had watched. It's been a year now. It's really amazing to see how far he has gotten. I'm now motivated more than ever to try and get to speed with all the professionals

[danielkim]

All around youtube yoyo videos I always see him commenting on them and probably learning from them. He definitely deserved this years worlds title

[blahmin]

"I LOVE YOU"
"I LOVE YOU TOO"

This routine made me smile the entire time I watched it. Truly a great performance and a great routine. Congrats.

"I wanna be a Yo Yo Man!" he cried, "Make me a Yo Yo Man!"

But the Yo Yo Master did not answer. He just kept on Yoing.

[PergiZoltan]

For the next 15 years WYYC will need to have drug test...

[Bobandy]

I've never watched a yo yo video before. But watching his happiness at the end made me completely get it.

[Avetarx]

Watching the whole thing at 0.25 speed is the correct way.

[superawesomeandfun]

Most humble guy in the community, so happy for you Evan :)

[emily]

Thank you, Phil, for showing me that yoyo is still cool in 2018!

[tiffanyvseric]

I've never been so amazed by a cylinder on a string before, you keep doing you man, keep doing you!

[miz]

This gave me motivation to start yoyoing again
