Welcome To The 2015 World Yo-Yo Championship Finals

This is an incredibly complex routine that is fascinating to watch. How can they not get tangled once in a while?

... and I don't think he needed a home-field (home country) advantage, either.

Tommy Smothers was a yoyo champ.

I was about to bring that up. There's video around of him "the Yo-Yo man" that I suggest you find.

I can yo, but the second yo is elusive to me. I've messed with yo-yo's maybe a total of 10 minutes my entire life. Each attempt quickly ended in frustration. I imagine I could learn, but it was never something that really appealed to me. There are things it took me time to learn how to do and do well, but the yo-yo never held my interest or stirred any desire within me to get better at it.

But it is somewhat fascinating to watch what some of these people can make a yo-yo do.
