    Jensen's 2011 Worlds performance will forever be the greatest competition freestyle, precisely because it wasn't a **competition** freestyle.
    A true work of art. We'll probably never see something so elegant on the stage again because it doesn't score well (which is a shame).

    These are all from 2012-2015, but I feel like we owe so much to the yoyo renaissance around 1997-2001. I feel like an old, old man, but 23 years later I still remember Alex Garcia's 1998 Nationals freestyle causing the yoyo world to collectively fold inside out to the beat of the...Dutch Eurodance group "Doop"? 4A was in its infancy, 5A was still a twinkle in Steve Brown's tattooed eyes, and Greg Cohen's Infinite Illusions was the most popular yoyo store at yoyoguy.com. "Unresponsive" was what we called a first-generation Cherry Bomb whose cheap plastic had its starbursts worn off, before throwing it in the trash.

  • @albuscore7955

  • @edn6671
    @edn6671 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think that Christopher Chia's 2011 AP win and Marcus Koh's 2011 worlds win should have definitely been in here tbh. Chris just absolutely nailed it and the whole performance was iconic, and Marcus switched 3 times and still came first, not to mention his completely unique set of tricks.
    Would love to see an updated version of this video in a few years time, there's been some amazing routines recently :)

  • @nootnewt7769
    @nootnewt7769 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    My personal favorite gentry freestyle has to be the 2015 nationals one, but i do agree that the 2014 worlds performance is much more iconic and innovative

      2015 Nationals is pretty great!

  • @deeganw.8977
    @deeganw.8977 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    One freestyle that I think should have made this list is Anthony Rojas' 2015 worlds routine. Every single one of his tricks was perfectly in line with the music and his horizontal tricks are extremely risky and creative.

    Agree with the list. Gormely 2015 wyyc, Bergen 2017 wyyc, Kerbel 2014 wyyc and 2015 semi. All 1st in my book

  • @patrickroncoski5706
    @patrickroncoski5706 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Three of the five freestyles are from WYYC 2015... I still think that WYYC 2016 Gentry's routine, despite not winning, is his most engaging freestyle to date, even better than 2014 when it comes to performance. I would like to see Evan Nagao 2015 US Nationals, Ethan Cheung WYYC 2017 and mostly Paul Kerbel 2014 EYYC Open. But I really enjoyed the fact that every category was present in this list!

    • @chriskim4366
      @chriskim4366 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      1,Classy in yo-yoing does not exist because people are hyped about everything that's amazing, so being quite is not considered classy.
      2,Jensen asked the audience to be quite, because the entire theme of his freestyle is to break the stereotypes of competing but only few people understood it.
      3,Enthusiastic is not the only "amazing" part of competing, the art/athletic form of yo-yoing it self is to express different styles and at that time, Jensen might be the only one that did it which is revolutionary, but again people does not take risks.

    • @j88800
      @j88800 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Chris Kim sorry but I meant to say engaging not enthusiastic. I really don’t think the performance should be only engaging to make it the best performance of all time, but this is what the top 5 is about. the style that he presented didn’t fulfilled this criteria, it could be if the criterias were tweaked a bit. by the way Jensen is my favorite yoyoer. 2010 🤔 when he did this he wasted like 20 seconds doing binds thinking what to do next 😂 and he still pulled a win. just like the 2A player, Im just saying.

    • @cookster69
      @cookster69 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +Chris Kim apparently his 2011 freestyle was dedicated to his mother who died prior to it, this probably contributes to the reason he asked the crowd to be quiet.
