Absurd amount of bragging aside (ha ha), I think whoever “NathanC” is probably just isn’t aware that I had a long bit of theater/comedy training well before I ever picked up a yoyo. For me, it’s far more natural to get on stage and be funny and entertain people than to hurl something around and do tricks with it.
Not sure exactly why someone doing a comedy routine with a yoyo is somehow bad for yoyoing, though.
Easy. With shameful displays like your so-called “artistic performances”, how is yoyoing ever going to be taken seriously and become an Olympic sport?
Shame on you, Steve Brown. Playing with your toys is a disgrace.
*the above is written with the sarcasm font. I shouldn’t have to mention that, but not all kids grok sarcasm these days and I want to avoid unecessary anger out there.

Real yoyoers have fun throwing. If that means wearing drafty tutus (which, let’s face it, aren’t exactly the worst way to beat the heat), then I say have at it!

You’re right…I haven’t done nearly enough to help the popularity or respectability of yoyoing. ;D

I could list off all the yoyos I’ve designed, or the 18 countries I’ve performed in, but I think that would be overkill at this point.
So, tell me something else about the popularity and respectability of yoyoing?
See You haven’t done anything at all (Sarcasm) LOL
Steve Brown Is AWESOME
