I don’t know for sure if he yo-yo’s on his own, but Tom Hanks throws a yo-yo while standing on a water fountain in the movie Dragnet.

It was a zoomed out shot, so it was him not a hand dub like Steve Brown did for Owen Wilson in Zoolander.

That’s funny. Both Nash and Hayes Grier were in my science classes and advisory groups at Davidson Day School. Taught them both yo-yo physics and Hayes was in yo-yo club for 2 years. He got pretty good!

That’s so cool! They have a great platform for making yoyoing seem “cooler” to the next generation.

Tyler Acord, better known as Lophiile is a relatively famous person that yoyos.

He was formerly known as Scout and was member of the definitely well-known metalcore band Issuess. He also won a remix contest for the song “I Want You To Know” from Zedd, who is grammy award winning DJ and producer. He was invited as a guest artist for a song of the also well-known math rock band CHON.

I think his greatest accomplishment is being a producer for H.E.R’s homonimous album, which won one grammy award, as well as being nominated for other 2 categories at the same event.

Here’s a trick by him.
