  1. Make large unnecessary movements.
  2. Make dramatic pauses to show that you have swag
  3. Do it horizontal and/or behind the back.
  4. Make hype.

The swag part is definetley true.

Josh speaks the truth.

Alternate list:

  1. Be dramatic onstage. Larger, exaggerated movements are easily seen by more people.
  2. Make an attempt to connect with your audience. Be personable and memorable.
  3. Perform contemporary tricks that impress both novices\audiences and judges; using dramatic, easily seen tricks that are both difficult and novel (see #1).
  4. Make yourself known. The world will not beat a path to your doorstep unless they are given a reason. Meet people and get to know them.

Hello world champion!

That’s because josh DEFINITELY know EVERYTHING! He’s a world champ in a land no one can really understand, his mind. He’s just giving us great advice.

How about “suck less than those you’re competing against?”

This isn’t the music industry, where talent isn’t even necessary anymore. Just auto-tune and move on.

Can’t auto-tune a trick. You gotta bring your A-game!

You know what I’d honestly like to see from Jayyo:
I’ve been watching his contest videos, and yes, he’s good, but he’s not great, at least that’s what his scores say. I think this is because he’s refusing to focus on any ONE style. On one hand, I truly applaud this decision. What he’s subliminally saying is that “yes, I’m good”. I don’t see too many people trying to do what he does the way he’s trying to do it. I also thing Jayyo has certainly paid his dues and I’d like to see him actually walk away doing better, but that means focusing on maybe one style and routine and just practice to sterile perfection. I’d like to see Jayyo take home a real major award before his time passes. Even better, I’d like to see him take some major awards in every style.

Of course, that would most likely inflate his ego into out of control proportions, but hey, there’s a risk with everything. But I’m sure if he were to choose to focus on a style per year, he’s gonna be a real threat to the top level competitors.

Your threads make me laugh lol.

Its not about winning , its about the thrill of competeing and the smiles you put on tohers faces when preforming ;D

Once you stop caring about who wins, yoyoing makes a lot more sense.
