@@G.SonicZ at the time it was almost unheard of to compete with such an inexpensive yoyo. Most competition yoyos back then were in the $50 to $150 range.
Great stuff. Last week found two yoyos at a thrift store, an old Duncan Imperial Midnight Special, and a red translucent Koyo Glow-Yo, still in the original plastic wrapper. It has centrifugal weights and sparkling lights that still work. I spent a buck for the pair. Now I am yoyoing all over the house, watching out for overhead lights, mirrors, the turtle's 40-gallon aquarium, and our curious cat. At age 67 I didn't even know how far yoyoing had advanced since I put my last Duncan Butterfly aside long ago - back then to get it to sleep you had to unwind the string just right so it was loose around the axle, because the axles were all solid and firmly connected to the sides. I'd never even heard of yoyo ball bearings, or non-responsives, though maybe now I'll get one of my own, if I save up my allowance, or ask Santa real nice. Maybe I can't become an advanced master, but I can still have some great fun. Out in the back yard, commands the wife, before you break something, or give the cat a concussion. Yes, dear.
+Greg Angel I was thinking the same thing. he definitely added some new elements that seem to add a bit more flare. I usually don't like any of his freestyles, but this one he seemed to be less a robot and just having fun.
This is still my favorite yoyo performances of all time. Not only is Gentry Stein a champion yoyoer, the kid knows how to work a crowd! Born to do show business. I love his timing and his moves are really clean. It's very much a dance, too!
Baris 128 I'm trying to learn the most basic parts of yoyoing, not anything fancy. I've had it for a long time before I got into yoyoing. I'm going to learn tricks with another yoyo when I get one.
I honestly wouldn't start with a fast 201. It's just not that good all around and very limited. I would go for something like the one in the video (YYF Replay Pro). I started with it, and i learned very quickly, and it's a really good yoyo for the price. The fast 201 has basically the world's worst bearing, no spin time, and it's just not that good where you could get something like this for practically the same price, which is what i think he wants to learn more of. That's just my two cents
By far one of the sickest freestyles I've ever seen!!! Congrats gentry you've been my favorite player since I started and its amazing and inspiring to see u pull of something that amazing with a $16 throw!!!
Zach better win this year so it would go... Zach 1st 2012 Gentry 1st 2013 Zach 1st 2014 Gentry 1st 2015 Zach 1st 2016 He also has to use the Big Dipper. :)
It depends if you're good. If you're good skyva because if you drop it a few times it will break. If you're still learing yoyo replay pro is the way to go.
+Sam Crestani YoYo I should have been more thorough, my bad. there's only like four parts to a yoyo; halves, bearing, axel, string... the only part of the replay (gentry opened the day before nationals and used for his final performance) that was altered, was that he changed the string for kitty string, a specific brand of yoyo string. meaning the remaining parts of the yoyo, the halves of the body, the bearing and axel used are 'stock'.
I'm imagining a group of players doing synchronized choreography. They're wearing all black and the yoyos and strings are glowing under the black lights. They're performing on a stage in Vegas or America's Got Talent.
I still do not believe it because how can a 1 year old even stand on his 2 legs to throw down a yoyo with enough power to make it spin for even 2s... he is obviously lying about it. Or maybe he was playing with a yoyo while being a 1 year chewing on a plastic yoyo?
Just goes to show that the yoyo makes a minimal difference and it's mostly skill. The fact that he won that with such a piece of junk yoyo is bloody amazing. Also...here I am watching him do that Chopsticks bit...and not being able to pull off any kind of chopsticks tricks. Damn son, really brought the heat.
@@thelookingcat shooting star, speedaholic, magicYoyo k2, skyva atom smasher are all better. I've tried quite a few plastics. Almost all of them were better than the replay pro. It might have been revolutionary when it came out. But it's bottom tier now.
+Doughnut Lunchington He wouldn't dare to use a different yoyo to practice the routine. And besides, he built this around the already quite amazing Replay Pro's few limitations compared to the Shutter.
Doughnut Lunchington I get what u mean. I have a few yoyos and most of them are metal. Just didn't think that anyone would use a plastic yoyo for competition.
+Doughnut Lunchington You can actually. If you practice enough, you can do anything with your YoYo within its and your own limits. Metal yoyo don't have the magic to be able to make you able to learn more things.
When the Replay Pro got released, people were a little confused. "A plastic sig tho?", someone asked on the Replay Pro video on YoYoFactory. Little did they know, this thing can win Nationals.
Imperial Midnight yoyoing all over the house, even know how far weights and sparkling lights because the axles were sleep you had to unwind the string because the axles were all solid
Awesome quote "I wanna win with a $16 yoyo". You go boy!
And I thought it was just good for beginners or intermediates.
Tyler Severance won 5A worlds in 2007 with a FHZ. Very cool.
Gay
Cant forget the “yea.”
I was there in person. It was absolutely amazing to watch. The whole crowd was shocked when he said he was using the Replay pro. :P
Larry Tang replay pro*
@@notbrandonion aren't they the same
@@Ben-jl4ds no
Why was it shocking??

Ammo Alamo this was the most wholesome grandpa comment ever
A+++ comment
Go on fella!
When you get better try to get a better yoyo
👏YOYOING👏IS👏FOR👏EVERYBODY
I am not the biggest Gentry fan, but I have to say that this is one absolutely amazing freestyle.
+Greg Angel I was thinking the same thing. he definitely added some new elements that seem to add a bit more flare. I usually don't like any of his freestyles, but this one he seemed to be less a robot and just having fun.
+Greg Angel I was going to post the same thing. Really nice.
+Greg Angel about to post the same thing tbh
Greg Angel real funny wow xD
Yeah especially with a 16 dollar yoyo
Wow, Gentry's tricks were certainly on point, but the choreography is what really puts this over the top. What a performance!
indonesian yoyo player died maybe :/
the fact that he did better than worlds with a cheaper yoyo is amazing
Yo young is unpredictable eh ?
***** i dont understand what you are trying to tell me haha
Yoyoing*
Yes its unpredictable of course
***** man focus on "the fact"
Gentry has the best coordination with the music, incredible.
Jake Elliot killed it that year too in 5a
MC guy: LETS GET LOUD FOR GENTRY STEIN!!!
Crowd: wooo.... i guess...
GET PUMPED PEOPLE, ITS GENTRY STEIN. GEEZ.
Literally one of the freshest freestyles of the year. The Ando influence really shows in his play but without biting any of his tricks.
This is still my favorite yoyo performances of all time. Not only is Gentry Stein a champion yoyoer, the kid knows how to work a crowd! Born to do show business. I love his timing and his moves are really clean. It's very much a dance, too!
That's where 9 years of yoyoing gets you. I just started today and my Yomega Brain's string is already hating me.
you cant do anything nice with yomega brain...

+SonicXRage yep. after learning how to throw it and get it back up,buy fast 201.

The stop and go portion has to be my favorite part.
Yoyo: replay pro $16
Song: donkong - jawz
his TIMING is so good. wow.
By far one of the sickest freestyles I've ever seen!!! Congrats gentry you've been my favorite player since I started and its amazing and inspiring to see u pull of something that amazing with a $16 throw!!!
Its not the yoyo, its the player
I've always loved this performance
Super
Hi sharon
what was the music?
Longinius Spear donkong - jawz
Always will be one of the biggest flexes in yoyo history
Your style is amazing
What music did he use in this routine?
I'm just interested how does he hold the yoyo and it still has the same speed as he throws it down!!
Hey gentry so what do you think about the nine dragons yoyo? do you like that yoyo?
What is the song during 4:17?
This is what my replay pro can do well holy damn I’m bad 😂
does anyone know how to do that trick at 2:00
It looks like pops (just doing a trapeze/houdini and dismounting and remounting very quickly) but I'm not sure...
it's 1.5 pops. search Asian pops on yotricks and just perform them on the 1.5 mount with your throw hand on top.
Zach better win this year so it would go...
Zach 1st 2012
Gentry 1st 2013
Zach 1st 2014
Gentry 1st 2015
Zach 1st 2016
He also has to use the Big Dipper. :)
+Titus Pittenger Gentry won worlds in 2014, he won California state in 2016. The 2016 US nationals hasn't happened yet.
+Titus Pittenger Still doesn't mean Gentry won in 2014
Hey zach did not coming in 1st in 2015 and 14 gentry stein won 3 in a row kid ok! gentry is way more better them zach ok!
I don't think you are getting what I'm saying, Zach didn't win US Nationals in 2015 but he did in 2014.
Gentry didn't win 3 in a row. Gentry was 2nd in 2014 nationals.
I love his style!
Which is better the Skyva or Replay pro?
I'd say Skyva is better in most ways, but Replay Pro is 20% cheaper and is more durable.
Get em' both. Totally worth it.
Replay pro
It depends if you're good. If you're good skyva because if you drop it a few times it will break. If you're still learing yoyo replay pro is the way to go.
PrimalSabre both are good. I wouldn't say any of them are better than another, but I think they are on the same level of skill.
Does anybody know what yo yo he was using
what is that song
Game Met Gianny donkong- jawz
I actually went out of my way to look for this
1:00 check out his left hand
4:02 the "what's up" as he crosses his arms is so fucking clean 💯

+Sam Crestani I think he opened the box the day before, the replay is stock except he put Kitty String on.

+Sam Crestani YoYo if all he changed was the string, what do you think??!?! cmon
jesus bruh , why u so agressive

Just ordered the replay pro in white and gold
Anybody knows the name of the song?

+BestOfLuck Thx!
Hm, so this is what my Replay Pro can do
I have a long way to go
He goes with the song very well like stoping on every tap
yEa
Song name.
Incredible dude I'm a fan
I think, ONLY Gentry can make champion with only 16 bucks
+mswww11 Probably accurate
***** LOL : )
+DeegieInside more accurately Replay PRO is his signature yoyo ( there's another yoyo called Replay )
My mistake haha I forgot Takeshi made world title with YYJ Lynfury
+Dylan Ostrowski agree :)
don't know why but to use Replay pro
stein is the man!!
congrats you are amazing!!
Best freestyle I've seen in like ever.
Just ordered a Replay Pro, damn he rocks that thing!
Dude he could probably win with a $2 YoYo prize from a MacDonalds Happy Meal XD
The Basement Yard brought me here 😁
SAMEEE
Gentry's a boss. I picked up this yoyo today and it's definitely quality. It's not for fingerspins though and that's why he didn't do a single one.
So Gentry has been yoyoing since he was 10?
Evan Nagao has been playing since he was 1, was pro when he was 6.
I still do not believe it because how can a 1 year old even stand on his 2 legs to throw down a yoyo with enough power to make it spin for even 2s... he is obviously lying about it. Or maybe he was playing with a yoyo while being a 1 year chewing on a plastic yoyo?
Probably that lol

Also...here I am watching him do that Chopsticks bit...and not being able to pull off any kind of chopsticks tricks. Damn son, really brought the heat.
piece of junk? the Replay is such an amazing yoyo for a plastic yoyo lol
@@thelookingcat shooting star, speedaholic, magicYoyo k2, skyva atom smasher are all better.
I've tried quite a few plastics. Almost all of them were better than the replay pro.
It might have been revolutionary when it came out. But it's bottom tier now.
Imagine buying hundred dollar yoyo just to get beaten with a 16$ yoyo
Great freestyle gentry
AND HE IS A BEAST ON THAT YOYO AND THE YOYO IS THE BEAST TOO :D
1:28
May this forever be a reminder that you do not need your titanium yoyo to be one of the greats. You can't buy skill
pretty good enjoyed it
That moment when a guy using $16 yoyo beat the other guys using $100+ yoyos. Imma stop buying new yoyos and start practicing more. LOL!!
+D. Kaoru there is no way he could of got that good without using a metal yo-yo to practice though
+Doughnut Lunchington He wouldn't dare to use a different yoyo to practice the routine. And besides, he built this around the already quite amazing Replay Pro's few limitations compared to the Shutter.
I mean you can't become as good as him if all u use is a plastic yoyo
Doughnut Lunchington I get what u mean. I have a few yoyos and most of them are metal. Just didn't think that anyone would use a plastic yoyo for competition.
+Doughnut Lunchington You can actually. If you practice enough, you can do anything with your YoYo within its and your own limits. Metal yoyo don't have the magic to be able to make you able to learn more things.
gentry and zach are like fighting in thiscompetition
How does he do stop and go on an unresponsive?
he switched that bearing to unresponsive
awesome. I see a lot of similarities with Jensen Kimmitt freestyle at WYYC 2010
I'm sorry, what?
sick moves bro
When the Replay Pro got released, people were a little confused. "A plastic sig tho?", someone asked on the Replay Pro video on YoYoFactory. Little did they know, this thing can win Nationals.
tell.me the song
+Steven Baran Donkong - Jaws
Please answer
Imperial Midnight yoyoing all over the house, even know how far weights and sparkling lights because the axles were sleep you had to unwind the string because the axles were all solid
