Its so devestating to hear you will no longer be competing but, i hope your plans go well and still yoyo plenty!

Mir Kim won and not only it was the best 1A freestyle to date, but also the best World Yoyo Contest Finals debut we've seen and, I think, we'll ever see. Impressive!

Here after Mir Kim become a world champion. He did it!!

Dude, you are so selfless. Along with passing the torch, you've been so inspiring in your tutorials with advice that encourages everyone to keep trying and to not take failure as a negative. Your insight extends well beyond just Yoyo-ing. Thank you for all of this homie!

dude you the best! The beginning stages of my yo-yoing career was dedicated to watching you perform! Your yoyos will hold a special place in my heart! I will miss you on stage! I wish you luck on your journey to bringing the next yoyo boom!

Great storytelling. Great editing. He will be a Multi World champion years to come

Gentry and Mir broke the system. Congratulations! It was well-deserved.

Keep up the good work. I've showed you to my children, and now both me and my kids all have started to throw yoyos. We are planning on starting a club this summer with all the neighbor children as well. We will do our part to make yoyo boom again!

I actually really love this Gentry. You are the one person the yoyo community really needs focused on a platform like this. I think the number one place yoyoing is failing is consumer marketing and actual media influence. You have the perfect personality to be a top influencer on this and many other platforms regardless of your yoyo ability. Keep grinding and I think we will see even more of a yoyo boom than we already have.

Passing the torch to a new era and a generational prodigy!

Mir’s sister sitting beside him at the table with that “My time is coming” look. She is also ridiculously good.

HE REALLY BECAME A CHAMPION!!

I've always enjoyed your freestyles for the last decade+. I haven't seen many people make things happen both on & off the stage quite like you have, Gentry. I have a lot of confidence in your ability to figure things out and implement. Good luck with creating that Yo-Yo boom, I hope the community will be by your side.

The "Mir"acle 🤓 love it!

What you're doing is so great. By growing the yoyo community, we are more likely to see amazing new tricks, innovative yoyo design, and so much more. Hopefully we still get to see routines/performances from you, even if not competitively!

I was in middle school during the 90s yo-yos craze and I loved yo-yoing. Things happened, and I got out of it, then I found your videos!! I remembered how much I loved yo-yoing, bought a few yo-yos, and now my daughter is yo-yoing with me!!! Recently, she went to spend the night with her grandparents, and I encouraged her to take a couple yo-yos and she was able to connect with her grandparents in a way that I don’t think she ever has before and that was thanks to you .😊

Gentry I want to say thank you bc you and all the other yoyotubers have introduced me to modern yoyos and I am kinda depressed rn and yoyos have become my comfort place tysm gentry you will be an inspiration forever

The thing is, mir doesn’t just know really hard tricks, like that zontal 5.0 hook and that behind the back Brent stole from last year’s routine, but he’s hella consistent with them. Like seriously, this dude is like the chess bot of yoyoers

This aged well! Had to come back to give you props bruh. People don’t even know

Mir just won worlds!!

He called it and actually did it. What a legend.

Nice vid bro, already looking forward to what you do next!

Gentry Stein I hope that Mir Kim will be the next world yoyo champion!!! Train him well dude he got all it takes to win the worlds!!!!

Thank you so much Gentry for doing this. Like many already commented I started 🪀 yoyoing because I saw you play and saw what could be done with that yoyo thing. Little did I know it would become part of who I am now. I for one will stand up for your plan. I have not met any yoyo players in Quebec yet ... so there's a lot of 'education' to be done ... hopefuly I get to master yoyoing enough to make it as entertaining to others as it is to me! 😅I shared this video to help promote 🪀to new people.. and trying to do my part ! ✊

He fucking killed it holy shit

...., And now .... Mir Kim .... Won

Congrats to our new world champ, your title has proven accurate

Gentry predicted it, Mir is the 2023 World Champion.

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 very humble man. You are a great person not just a yo-yo master. You are the yo-yo god

Love the vid Gentry. Keep it up!

I'm so sad to hear that you won't be competiting anymore, but its exciting to see new yoyo players taking the scene

Respect, don't even play yo-yo myself (kendama guy), but I've seen your content a lot and you seem super passionate and likeable, definitely a guy to push the world of yo-yoing forward.

I love your vision. Keep doing what you are doing and I hope you succeed, you have my support.

Im about to buy a Yoyo because I find the tricks and all the technical aspects of modern yoyoing fascinating. I will definitely be watching any tutorials you have on your channel to get me started 😁

Love it like always 🔥

King!! 👑 Love you Gentry!! Whatever you do later on I’m sure it’s gonna rock the yo-yo world

I wish this video was at least 60 min long. Awesome content. I'm throwing 4 months now and every day you are an amazing inspiration. Keep it up! Cheers

Sick video Gentry!

Bro I can’t believe your not competing anymore you have been an inspiration ever since I was young. But I am happy to sit and see what you can do in the near future.

Maybe come to the Caribbean next? (Specifically Dominica) There's nothing yoyo related over here so people will for sure be amazed. I kinda just got started myself with the replay pro.

Just went here after Mir's performance at Wyyc. No results yet but that was fire!

Can’t stop laughing when Gentry sed what does this dude eat for breakfast😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Im calling it, mir kim is gonna be world champ 2x in a row

WOW!!!! It's amazing that you've ever been to our country.

The Prediction! Congrats Mir Kim!

Gentry you did it, Mir became your successor!

When gentry sed what does this dude eat for breakfast I can’t stop laughing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

1:54 Brandon Vu when he sees him do the 5.0: "💀"

Hey man, love the videos. I got a Shutter WAngle for christmas and I love it. Maybe one day I'll actually develop good skills

omg that ending speech. strong and informative, confident and experienced. i'm simply just fucking moved.!!!! i, too, have something as confident as you spoke. can i join your journey?

It would be insane if Gentry actually came back to competing

sick i love your videos you brought me into yoyoing

@Gentry: Try in Korea „San-nakji“. you can get it in many restaurants

thats so funny he just casually whips out a horizontal 5.0

Great vid

3:34 YO WHO FARDED 😭😭💀💀💀

This is gonna be so epic

Cant believe it, gentry stein really called it, he just won world's!!!

I love your yo-yos and you video sad that you haven't been posting but you great keep up the good work 👍

he predicted it

Holy shit this guy actually was the world champion good job Gentry

Great video. 👍 good luck Mir. Go Mir

Fire conteeeeent! 🔥🔥🔥

Mir and miri doubling it up again. So now that theyve done it live do the owyyc wins count? Is mir now the first 3x defending 1a world champ since 2006 or must he earn them all at the live world contest?

Congrats on the retirement Gentry. On a sidenote though:Is it possible we see a return of the how to yoyo series?

It did what you said! 😮

Gentry I have a question is your yoyo available in the Philippines

Here in PH. Yoyo boom always happen when local tv televised a new yoyo show. Super Yoyo anime in 2002-2004 Blazing teens 2006

Time to start your own yoyo company bro that will be fire

We’ll be waitin for that boom tho

Hey Gentry, out of curiosity, do you still practice getting better at yoyoing (new tricks, trick refinement etc.), or not as much now that you're stepping down from competitive?

Your the best yo-yo player in the world. Please dont stop competing

Man you’re the best world yoyo champion.

Awesome video also best of luck to Miri Kim at worlds

Bro can you tell the step for how to take part in the world yoyo contest. Pls explain the process From name registration till the finals. I am new to the field and curious to know.

MYYGA: make yo-yos great again.

Gentry if im from Romania can i get a yoyo from your site?

Gentry if you notice me I just want you to know that you are my inspiration for yoyoing and your videos are just so good! You are so nice Gentry I can't wait for your next video.

I messaged YoYoFactory. But it would be cool if you designed a customizable yoyo. Maybe it allows you to add or remove weight, width etc. Maybe has a cool inner design in plastic or metal that is interchangeable. I also just got my shutter And a few other of your yoyos and love it!

I’m sad your not gonna be competing anymore. Your routines really just hit hard. I hope to eventually compete but I still need a lot of work

hey gentry my name is Liam I have errand the24 place in the 2023 Canadian national yoyo contest and you are one of the best world yoyo player and I am just wondering if you are going to the 2024 Canadian national yoyo contest.

Question gentry, when you do competitions do you use one or two gloves in your opinion?

will u still come to contests to sell yoyos or anything like that at all?

Dude! I saw you at comic con, India, Bangalore on 20th November 2022! You were amazing with it that day!

Dood, you've already done it, you don't need to compete anymore. But you better not dissappear on us!

Will new signatures still be coming out?

You should start Yo-Yoing professional

Butter gang op!!

Gentry please keep going 😢
