A lot of people learn John Ando’s tricks, and a fair chunk of those people put them into their contest routines. But no one plays like John Ando. He’s one of the most unique players of the modern era, and his style is so distinctive that you can spot his tricks a mile away, no matter who is doing them.
YoYoFactory gives us a new short video of Ando in action, from their road trip to the Duncan Toys 2014 West Coast YoYo Championship. Looks like the yoyo used is the new YoYoFactory Space Cowboy, the latest signature model for World and National Champion Tyler Severance.
