If he still tried, he could place really well. You can tell he worked hard on this prelim, very few mistakes and very fast.

It’s incredible, he is running like 4 businesses and traveling the world and can still stay at such a high level.

Has anyone ever played as at high a level as long as he did when he was winning world championships?

I bet if you were to calculate which human has spent the most time practicing throwing in history he would be right at the top.

Mickey is insane, his 2012 worlds is still mind-boggingly good. But as much as Mickey is legendary, Shinji is _legendarier_. He is the most condecorated yoyo player ever, and if we were to consider both

Shinji would top everyone.

But for 1a, the most popular and most competitive division, Mickey is the undisputed GOAT and it might very well be possible that nobody will ever top his results

i was there to see this freestyle in person, and even got to meet Mickey face to face. i’ve always wanted to meet the man, and i’m glad i finally got the chance to tell him i was a big fan of his routines.

it was a freebie; purchase any sOMEThING yoyo (i bought the f\*\*king rabbits premiere) and you have a chance to play the dice game against one of the staff. win once and you get a tshirt, win twice and you win either a slash or an angle. i went with the slash 😛
