Lissen up, you yo-yos!
APK | April 23, 2007 | 12:58 pmDid you know (you all probably did but I didn’t) that Yo-yo contests had a lot of different divisions?
- 1A The player uses a long sleeping yo-yo to perform string tricks.
- 2A The player uses two yo-yos simultaneously to perform reciprocating or looping tricks OR uses a long spinning yo-yo to perform tricks that involve manipulation of the string. This tends to be the most visually entertaining style with some players incorporating acrobatics into their routines.
Thanks, Wikipedia! Anyway, those are just two of them (See also: 3A, 4A, 5A, AP and CB) but those are two that I also happen to have the video of the winners of the 2006 Worlds Yo-Yo Contest. First up is Hiroyuki Suzuki the winner of the 1A contest:
Next we have Shinji Saito, the winner of the 2A contest:
