Happy Monday!!!
Excited to present the one, the only, Kris Toledo!!!
What got you into throwing, how did you find the hobby?
Back in Middle school one of my friends had a magic yoyo and he was just doing a simple bind but at the time I thought it was the coolest thing Ive ever seen. So about a month later I went to Downtown Disney in LA and this was when they had a Duncan booth, my mom got me one and now here I am yoyoing 11 years later!
What is your goal in 2025 for yourself? Yo-yo or not!
I want to make worlds finals! Also to show what I have learned since worlds
What trick are you working on currently?
Lots of competition type tricks but also working on more the flow of all the tricks.
What’s the trick that gives you the hardest time?
Anything with a whip to double GT or a slap to double GT
What’s the most meaningful or favorite throw you have?
I have a few but I have my gsquared Eilte that I used to make my first Nationals finals that I will keep forever.
What’s your worst habit with yo-yos?
Dinging them lol
What’s kind of things are you into outside of yo-yos?
I love to go running, taking photography and I’m currently learning some other skill toys
What song best fits your personality?
It has nothing to do with the title of the song or anything i really like the song and it’s a calm one and I believe I am more of a calmer person.
Favorite restaurant and order?
Any restaurant with tamales is my favorite
What does yo-yo’ing mean to you?
Means the most to me! Been with me through the past 11 years
If you could start over again, what would you do differently?
I don’t think id change a thing other than start earlier
What’s your biggest accomplishment yo-yo or not?
Probably winning NER or getting 2nd at PNWR
How has the community changed since you started and where do you want it to go?
Lots of changed, I feel like its more mainstream than it use to be, Id love for yoyo to go in a direction where not just competing is common but shows for the public, such as concerts or dance recitals
If you never picked up a yo-yo - what would things look like now?
I think id probably be more into video games
Advice/ words of wisdom to new players?
Enjoy the process of getting better, its the most fun stages of yoyo in my opinion and you leave it before you even realize it
Whats you want to tell the world?
Thanks for the support for the past 11 years! This community has been super welcoming and im happy to have a small part in it!
