Yo wassup y’all. I’ve been trying to educate myself on all the great players but I have a ton of catching up to do…I’ve been drawn to the players with unique or just fun styles from all eras. Here are a few examples of players that had me pausing in awe of their tricks and style—
Chris Makita
Augie Fash
Riccardo Fraolini
Please help educate me and share some of the players y’all think emphasize style. I saw a list in the forum graveyard with all the legends of yo, but it was very long and hard for me to figure out where to start. I’m mostly focused on 1A for now, but only because it’s early in my yoyo journey and I don’t want to overwhelm myself with vids to watch yet.
I always liked Doc Pop’s style. Some of his earliest videos were some of the first I saw of advanced level string tricks you wouldn’t see in a yoyo book or magazine.
Tyler Vienneau’s speed and control in dense technical formations is unmatched, easily my favorite modern day player to watch.
My favs from back in the day are probably Jason Lee, Markmont, and Alex Lozyniak.
Always admired the simple yet creative styles of Guy Wright, Danny Severance, and Tressley Cahill. That style of play always looks approachable until you realize there’s 10 sneaky things going on that you completely missed.
Ouff just started checking out some of these players and I feel a little sick by how amazing they are…stoked to see what In Hyeok Choi has after 2 years in the military…Thanks for all the responses! I got this thread bookmarked for when I feel like watching vids/need inspiration and I’ll get to everyones recs eventually.
Made this account a while ago here, but thought I’d jump in for this. Tyler Severance’s tricks are some of my personal favorites, as well as John Ando’s. Ando’s body tricks especially. I saw Kharisma mentioned earlier, but he too is insane. Tyler Severance John Ando
I had to stop the John ando vid after like 40 seconds because he threw a breakaway way up and slung it back down with his face basically into a trapeze…phew…so ridiculous and goofy and fun I gotta go sling it now…definitely glad you came back for this convo lol
