Ben Conde is one of the most magnetic and engaging personalities in the yoyo community, and after a short break following his sponsor YoYoJam closing up shop, Ben is back with a new initiative on YouTube to bring modern yoyoing to the masses.
Players like to spend a lot of time creating reasons they think yoyoing isn’t more popular in the mainstream but the simple reality is that it just doesn’t look that good. For every one great looking yoyo video there are 1,000 videos of a player standing in their bedroom, making knots and staring at their hands. Players like Ben and his new push on YouTube are the one of the best hopes we have of really getting non-players interested in modern yoyoing as more than just a novelty.
Subscribe to Ben’s channel, and expect to start seeing new content weekly on Fridays at noon EST!
