Yoyo baby is amazing! I wish he wasn’t sponsored. Being realistic though I think Yuuki will show up at Worlds unannounced and win it all. And if that dosnt happen I’d really like to see a American or Canadian win.

For Nats I’m going with Zach, Harold or Augie.

I don’t see him winning worlds when he’s 9. His style is too generic in my opinion. Very good, but it’s kinda like dumbed down Mickey stuff.

Yes I know, but with that type of style, all that’s going to happen is he’ll gain speed.

His style ranks very high. If he pulls off a perfect routine, he will definitely win.

I think Gentry’s going to take Nats this year. He was so close last year and the contest is on his home turf.

As for worlds… I don’t know how WILL win, but I’d love to see Gormley take it.
