I interviewed Lao Alovus about what it was like to be a yo-yo pro on the 1999 Warped Tour. It was a great conversation filled with yo-yo and top history and some bits that blew my mind. Including his influence on The Gyroscopic Flop. This video was a great walk down memory lane, filled with some surprising stops along the way.

Thanks! That was awesome. I love listening to and researching all the history. I’m 20 years too late it seems.

I liked the line… “Wow, I dont know a lot of what that dudes doin!” refering to first seeing you play in the parking lot.

I think you’ll be my Lao once I get to meet you, Doc 🙂 Thanks again!
