I always think Duncan when it comes to yo-yo, especially yo-yo competition. Looking at video today it seems there are quite a few sponsors for the sport.
See the awesome here.
More interesting is the caliber of action from the competitors. I'd much rather watch this than celebrity dance competitions. Especially celebrities who can't dance. It's also more interesting than watching cup stacking competitions, but not as much as X-games. I do consider yo-yo a highly concentrated physical sport, but with fewer broken ankles and backs.
Despite what Piers (from America's Got Talent) thinks about yo-yo it's a spectacle to behold. This kid made it fairly far in the competition. I don't think yo-yoing is made for Vegas, but he put on a good show.
Ian's final attempt.
I'd only try tricks with the yo-yo if I had insurance. Seriously, flinging what amounts to a rock attached to a string near my face is not appealing. But it looks like fun. I might not have the cajones to yo-yo, but I'm glad talented people and not-so talented people do.
He does a yo-yo slam two-fer.
Adding an exercise ball doesn't help.
I suppose this also means if you see me with a yo-yo I've lost my mind and am not afraid to break a face or anyone else's.
