Check out this yoyo player’s appearance on Korean TV show “Hello Counselor” for his, uh, yoyo addiction. Amazing.
I love this! It really captures that moment somebody sees how different modern unresponsive yo-yoing is compared to the masses’ general impression of yo-yos as simple ‘up and down’ toys. At the start of this video, you can sense the audience/guests feel: ‘they’re just those simple toys… how can this even be a problem? Whatever’. Then act two, that any yo-yoer sharing their collection knows: ‘What? Titanium? And they’re how much? Yo-yos have changed!’. And then act three, when the kid shows his skills: ‘Wow! I never knew yo-yoing was like this now. Sorry mother… this is too cool!’.
(All that said, however wonderful a hobby or pastime is, if it’s making you neglect things in your life, it’s time to rebalance things. I had the toughest year of my life family stuff this year, and the yo-yo’s ability to switch my brain off did make it dangerously distracting… when I maybe should have put attention and effort elsewhere.)
