Wow. Scary when a six year-old kid is better than you could ever hope to be, at anything.

That's insane. A whole bunch of other yo-yo videos pop up when you view that. All amazing, but none of them are in the ballpark of that kid.

He shortened the string 1/8 inch.  So, he had the illusion of more speed. :)

Headmount mentioned his wife taking him to see a yo yo guy a couple weeks ago.  I wonder how he compared to this kid?
