Everything else I wanted to say, has already been said. I met Ann Connolly a few times, she is great, and treats her fans well. She is a very nice person, and talented too. She is very deserving of the attention she gets.
People are just jealous because they canāt rock a scarf like Ann can!
I think I am a bit to old to have much of an opinion on this, other than itās the internet and yo-yoing as a ācommunity wholeā is largely based around the internet, users hide behind their personas, b.s. facades and then talk smack whenever possible.
That being said, I like Annās style of throwing a bit more than a lot of the other bigger names not sure why, she just seems to have more of a natural flow as seen in the vid below.
Obviously she is skilled.
The thing that bugs me though is the stupid fisheye lens she seems to favor in her tutorial vids, but you know #firstworldproblems
amirite?
As a suggestion, if enough of you feel like she is getting to much undeserved hate, then start bombing the comment area of her site with positive stuff and burry the drama. It would kind of be like climbing a water tower with a can of red paint to defend your sisterās honor!
Probably an even smaller room than it seems in the videos; to capture enough of her, it probably HAS to be fisheye-ish! I would also bet itās a GoPro. That seems to be what a lot of people are using.
But all that aside: yeah, not a fan of fisheye in general.
with just those three reasons alone I cant even imagine why anyone would say anything bad about her. She seems really cool and I cant even begin to understand why people would want to hate on her. Anyone who spreads the joy of yoyoing to other people is more than welcomed in my book
Although I do think there are a few sub-par throwers that get sponsored just because theyāre girls, Ann definitely isnāt one of them. I met her at the NER, just an all around awesome person. Just seeing her smile at you makes you feel great!
I asked her and she answered, i think its just because i said please hahaha.
She uses a GoPro so you are right meeester Greg! But she goes harddd with that olloclip⦠Im a witness, i follow her instagram. Heheheee
Itās a bad combination because unlike Ann, Justin has ruined his career. He picked a fight with the paparazzi, he went to Anne Franks annex, and wrote āblah blah blah,⦠If you were still alive Iām sure youād be a ābelieberāā
I mean Cāmon, you have to be a total self coincided (you donāt even wanna know what I was gonna post after this) blank, to go to a place where a girl spent 3 years of her life hiding from Hitler to go and write about your fan base. Thatās why you should never compare someone as genuine as Ann to someone thatās a total jerk.
