YoYo Related News From Around The World

Yoyo used is the Chik by One Drop.
Alex Gallimore shows off what five years of practice can get you, and it’s pretty good! Not sure what’s better though…the tricks or those curtains. Both are pretty good. 😉
Huge thanks to Gabriel Lozano for making this awesome time capsule of a video available! Here we have the legendary SpinDox YoYo Club, performing during the seventh inning stretch of an Oakland A’s baseball game on July 29th, 2000. This yoyo club is single-handedly responsible for some of the biggest innovations in modern 1A yoyo play! From suicides to magic drops, most of what we consider modern 1A is based off concepts from these players. And seriously…check out Paul Escolar’s hair. Damn, dude!
