Did anyone else get this? It was a short video on my stories feed. I was surprised to find instagram showingcasing a yoyo player. Does anybody know this guy’s name?
That’s Justin Dauer, he’s team Duncan and very very good at yoyoing.

Cool dude.
Love Justin! OP I don’t know where you’re located, but if you’re in SoCal and can come to a DXL meet, he’s there all the time. His mom is actually the one that sets the meets up, she’s awesome too and is collectively known as everyone’s “YoYoMom” haha… but yeah, Justin is great and we were all super proud of him at Nats this year - I don’t remember what he got in finals but in 1A prelims he got third! He’s gonna be a SERIOUS force to reckon with next year and in the future.
Looks like he saw it too! That little ad probably exposed thousands of people to yoyoing, that’s a pretty rare thing in this hobby.
Yeah he and his mom (@mishiyoyomama, also a great presence in the community) had been teasing something for a while. It’s awesome to see this was it. Justin is a killer player, and a genuinely nice guy. Few others deserve this little bit of spotlight more.
I was about to say I follow his mom as inspiration for how I want to support my kids hobbies lol.
Justin is gonna win worlds in a few years. Y’all get ready! pray that his mother doesnt fall over in the crowd when it happens.
The family honestly seems like the most genuine people in the world. I cant recommend following along enough.
