GrawrD/Gerard Amento is someone who used to make a lot of trick tutorials back in the day, they even had a website, [grawrd.com](http://grawrd.com) (now defunct sadly). Anyways I don’t know how many of you are old enough/were around far enough back to remember them but my mom sent me a clip of them on Wheel of Fortune asking if I recognized them; low and behold I actually did! They used to be pretty prevalent on TheYo. Talk about a throwback. ---

Hey, that guy’s pretty good! A little late, but happy to see that my episode found its way to some of the yo-yo world. ---

Hahaha! Thanks for the warm welcome guys, it’s been a while. For those of you that didn’t get to see the episode, I brought some extra yo-yos with me and, since I won, Vanna and Ryan tried them out at the end of the episode. Ryan had asked if I could Rock the Baby during the show, so I had to give him the longest Rock the Baby of all time haha.

Your site was pretty much what I exclusively learned to yoyo from. Great trick explanation and the music was perfect! ---

Mo! Best mirror pictures in the game! Fun to see some familiar names after all these years. I tried to avoid doing the math when I looked up my last post, definitely doesn’t feel that long. Glad to see you’re still out here and maybe we’ll have to find a SoCal yo-yo contest to catch up. ---

Thanks, man! That means a lot! Sadly my stubbornness, paired with my love of music is what got my YouTube and Vimeo accounts deleted, so it was nice having a site to keep everything. Comments like this are why I kept it going for so long, so I appreciate it.
