Ryosuke Kawamura Presents: Shingo Terada
Ryosuke Kawamura just totally made my week!
Shingo Terada remains one of my favorite 5A players of all time, and he was a HUGE early influence on the entire style of play. His 5A repeaters remain some of the hardest to pull of smoothly, as he reminded me last time I was in Japan when after an hour of struggling neither Petr Kavka nor I could do any of them.
Shingo Terada is still my go-to player when people ask me how to smooth out their yoyo play, and it’s exciting that he’s not only still competing (and doing well), but that he’s been practicing for 2015 Worlds!
Return top used is the CLYW Wooly Marmot 2.
Daigo Komiya 5A
Daigo Komiya gives up a fresh blast of first-person 5A that makes me feel like I should be typing less and practicing more. Crazy.
Yoyo used is the Markmont Classic by One Drop.
Duncan Toys – Yoshihiro Abe
Duncan player Yoshihiro Abe gives up some really fun 5A play in his newest video. I have a soft spot for 5A players, but Yoshihiro is still really damn good.

The Philippines’ Paolo Alto is celebrating 5A May (even if everyone else has forgotten, c’mon you guys) with a new video filled with some really legit counterweight play. Check it out! And congrats to Paolo on recently being picked up by YoYofficer as a sponsored player!
