Great to see Alan Nagao on this list! I got into yo-yos in the '90s when THP came to my elementary school and I went to their classes every week for a good while.
Honestly they could've done a top 10 and still missed so many. Tom Khun, Steve Brown, Andre Boulay, Dennis McBride, Bill Deboisblanc, Black, Paul Escolar, Hiroyuki Suzuki, and so much more.
I love your tutorials and the content. I am a newer yo-yo player and was hoping you guys can send me down a yo-yo that is unresponsive and can do grind keep up the good work thanks. You guys also helped me start out with the Fizz and Sage now I can do a bunch of tricks
Hey Yotricks I was wondering if you guys can restock the Skyva, Double Bloop, and Also one more thing I was wondering who is the One Texting... Is it Adam, Jake, Chris, Lucas, or Roland.
We currently have no plans to restock the Skyva, and we need to remake the Double Bloop, but this will not be happening any time soon. I am not sure who might be texting... doesn't your phone indicate who is texting you?
Nasser Feed Just keep practicing, and work on throwing your yoyo straight. Powerfully, yes, but straight is more important, the power will come. Change how you tilt your hand when you throw, or maybe when you turn your hand over when you're throwing, both of those things can affect your throw.
Michael Pate thank you Michael.. I'll practice more on my throwing, what I noticed is that I do have a powerful throw but I tend to throw on a tiny angle which shows after it leaves my hands so I'll work on fixing that
Nasser Feed Yeah, just like with any line (like your yoyo string) a tiny angle at the origin will be exaggerated the further from the origin you go. It'll come, it just takes practice. Your hand might feel awkward or unnatural when you're doing it the right way to get a straight throw at first, but before long it'll feel weird to throw your yoyo any other way. Yotricks has a couple of videos you can watch about how to throw your yoyo properly (one of which is in the "What to do after you get your first yoyo " video). It wouldn't hurt to watch them. You may not need the entire video, in fact, you probably don't. But one tip they give about making sure your hand is straight and doesn't turn over too early is to hold your opposite hand palm up at around the level of your belly button, and when you throw, just kind of smack the back of your throw hand into the palm of your non throw hand, and that will keep you from turning it over before you should. Unfortunately, I doubt that would work for the breakaway throw, so you'll just have to experiment to find a good way for you to make your breakaway straight. But like I said, just keep making sure you throw straight, and the power should gradually come over time. I hope this insanely long post helps, or at least makes you feel a little better, lol.
Just have to ask might have missed something but still curious what happened to Jake seems like recently other than the tricks videos kinda fell off the map only curious cuz I got into yo-yoing and jumped right into 5a cuz of that guy
I'm sure he could give you a fuller answer, but I think he felt like he achieved his goal, and decided he might have more fun promoting yoyoing in other ways besides competing.
Pretty much all responsive yoyos will become less and less responsive if you don't lube them. What happened in the late 90s early 2000s is that players just stopped lubing their yoyos, so they gradually became less and less responsive. There was no one person who did this, everyone was doing it.
I'm really very too bad at yo yo. Because I don't have a good yo yo. It doesn't have a bearing or anything. Can't do a sleeper. There is no yo yo store in here Latvia where I live. They know yo yo as just ball with a string that goes up and down. So sad. I have wooden and a plastic yo yo.
Can I win one I really don't have a yoyo and I really want to do a lot of tricks and because my dad won't buy me one cause we don't have lots of money so pls plsss give away a yoyo
See all our top yoyos for beginners and advanced play:
YoYoTricks.com/BestYoyos
I choose Adam as the 6 th godfather of yoyoing as he is the best instructor of yoyo tricks.
Aakarshan Chauhan as do i
Victor A
Let's get him "Widely known "
me too
I agree
Great to see Alan Nagao on this list! I got into yo-yos in the '90s when THP came to my elementary school and I went to their classes every week for a good while.
What about Tom Khun?
Honestly they could've done a top 10 and still missed so many. Tom Khun, Steve Brown, Andre Boulay, Dennis McBride, Bill Deboisblanc, Black, Paul Escolar, Hiroyuki Suzuki, and so much more.
I think Mickey might be too recent to be a godfather of yoyo.
Tom Kuhn should be on the list.
I think Mr. Freehand Steve Brown deserves a mention
Edward Evensen yup!!!
I'm so happy I got in the video

This was very informative, interesting and entertaining! I loved it! Good job you guys!
My Top 5 (in no particular order): Dale Oliver, Tom Smothers, Tom Kuhn, Arnie Dixon, Pedro Flores.
Can you do the top 5 yoyos you should have in your collection.
I really like the top 5 videos, adds a nice variety to all the videos you make. Keep up the good work 👍
i had someone tell me recently while yoyo-ing in a airport that they were once weapons, thank you for the fact check
Pedro Flores rocks
Guess who knows none of these people ???
🙋🙋🙋
all of us
I knew Duncan and Flores 🤷🏽♂️
This is real!!! Very factual.
Steve Brown should have been on this list for creating 5A and the Freehand alone.
No paedro no scope for tricks! Thanx to him!
This is great content, thanks.
I love your tutorials and the content. I am a newer yo-yo player and was hoping you guys can send me down a yo-yo that is unresponsive and can do grind keep up the good work thanks.
You guys also helped me start out with the Fizz and Sage now I can do a bunch of tricks
what about the founder of free hand steve brown?
First and I love your videos

yotricks Thank you,and sorry because I'm going to buy it on the YYF Europe website. Why? Because I'm not live in USA

What about Jack Russell????? and the coca-cola yo-yos?
I'm so bad at yoyoing, my yoyo keeps tilting to the sides
Nasser Feed Just keep practicing, and work on throwing your yoyo straight. Powerfully, yes, but straight is more important, the power will come. Change how you tilt your hand when you throw, or maybe when you turn your hand over when you're throwing, both of those things can affect your throw.

Don't worry you'll get better

How about oouch...
no doc pop?
Just have to ask might have missed something but still curious what happened to Jake seems like recently other than the tricks videos kinda fell off the map only curious cuz I got into yo-yoing and jumped right into 5a cuz of that guy
I'm sure he could give you a fuller answer, but I think he felt like he achieved his goal, and decided he might have more fun promoting yoyoing in other ways besides competing.
How about the yoyo brothers?
takahiko hasegawa
Where’s Andre Boulay?
Just got an unresponsive yo yo. You say to lube it but it doesn’t come apart. how do I lube it if I can’t get it apart?
What yoyo???
Proto-star. We actually got it apart but it looks like the spacer is attached to the bearing so my son doesn’t know how to get the lube in.

Thank you.

Yo-Hans is a wizard!

Steve Brown I would most definitely have him on the list
yoyo is a filipino word mean come & go. pedro flores
Who is Filipino here!!..?.
Jose Gamer 👍
Ako
I'm a filipino
Steve brown
Then who made unresponsive yoyos?
It was not made by an individual, it developed over time.
yotricks thanks bro
what about that guy that invented unresponsive yoyo
No one person invented unresponsive yoyos, they developed over time by the community.
but who came up with this idea though, I am very very curious when and how string trick yoyos gone unresponsive
Pretty much all responsive yoyos will become less and less responsive if you don't lube them. What happened in the late 90s early 2000s is that players just stopped lubing their yoyos, so they gradually became less and less responsive. There was no one person who did this, everyone was doing it.
peter fish
Yeahhim filipino
What!!!

I'm really very too bad at yo yo. Because I don't have a good yo yo. It doesn't have a bearing or anything. Can't do a sleeper. There is no yo yo store in here Latvia where I live. They know yo yo as just ball with a string that goes up and down. So sad. I have wooden and a plastic yo yo.
