@@moonmanvic I got into yoyoing in 1998, and I remember watching the world yoyo competition in 1999 and was blown away by all the tricks they could do. Back the doing double shoot the moons, and punching bags, and reverse ones was like pro level. Along with all the different string tricks they did, I learned a lot like back then, but holy shit, I wouldn't have held a candle to what they do now lol. And I considered myself almost on a pro level back then lol
@bassman3212 5 жыл бұрын
But for back in 1999 all the tricks I actually could do, was up to par, now it's just insane lol. Crazy how far they've taken it, makes me wanna buy a yoyo again, memories

He takes it from me and begins this sorcery. I just ordered myself a Yo-Yo... I’m gonna get all the bitches now...
