World Champion Shu Takada shows some love for the little guys in this new video from Fist Salud. Shu did a show and taught yoyo lessons at the 1-year anniversary party for Toasted, a small cafe in Japan. This video is a great look at what it means to be a yoyo demonstrator…down on one knee, shortening strings and making time for the little ones. Hell yes.
Yoyos used are the YoYoFactory SHU-TA and YoYoFactory Loop1080.

All the way from Thailand, yoyo player Wasakorn L. bring us a really nicely done 2A video…something we just don’t see much of these days! 2A is still one of the most visually exciting styles of play to watch, and it’s a shame that it’s dying out as a contest division. Watching this video makes me want to take another crack at it, though, so I’m going to strap on some Loop 1080s and go spend the morning hitting myself in the face.
