If you could obtain the skills of any 1 player who would it be? For me, it’d have to be Josh Yee. Because… 1. I love his style in 1a and 1. He excels at all 5 styles, which is pretty sick IMO If it was just 1a it’d be between Michael Nakamura and Magne Saetran for me ---

Hajime Miura. He’s fantastic at 3a (national champ of japan) and he can do all the other styles better than me except 4a and maybe 1a ---

I’d steal obtain Paul Dang’s job. When I’m sitting there in the office tapping away at my keyboard, it’s depressing to think that on the other side of the world there’s a fellow whose job is to help assemble and test yoyos all day. 😛 Skill wise, I’d take Charles Haycock’s magical ability to make the simplest of tricks look stylish. ---
