First- we start with the people whom received the trick innovator of the year award.
DocPop, Paul Escolar, Johnnie Devalle, Jason Lee, Yuuki Spencer, Jesse Garcia, JonRob, Jake Bullock, John Ando, Jensen Kimmit, Steve Brown, Zammy, Zach Gormley, Drewtetz, Riccardo.
Each of those people helped push yoyoing to heights beyond what is known. Thank you to those players.
Now- on to people whom deserve to be mentioned, now mind you this is my personal opinion:
Takeshi Maatsura. Spencer Berry. Adam Brewster. Ed Haponik. Ky Zizan. Keiran Cooper. Josh Jessen. Alex Wilden. Anthony Rojas. Eric Tranton. Darnell Hairston. Jason Cheow. Ma Yi. Rei Iwakura. Evan Nagao. Ayumu Harada. Ivan Maslin. Nehemiah Peterson. Sora Ishikawa. Hank Freeman. Shu Takada. Andrew Maider. Chris Rodrigues. Isaac Sams. Mark Mangarin. Shane Lubecker. Jacob Jensen. Mark Allen. Justin Weber. John Wolfe. Andrew Bergen. Tessa Piccolo. Tylor McCallumore. Ondrej Dolejs. Tyler Severance. Miguel Correa. Alex Lozyniak. Jordan Cooper. Bryan Figueroa. Ryosuke Iwasawa. Mikhail Tulabut. Gary Longoria. Gabe Lozano. Hidemasa Semba. John Chow. Johnbot. Shinji Saito. Sterling Quinn. Derrick Walker (ignitus).
There is tons of people that stand out that have created many ideas to the community. Some of old and some of new. Iāve been in this community for quite awhile, and can easily recognize creativity and innovation.
Iām sure some will agree while others will not. Some wonāt recognize names in there since of tose people I mentioned no longer play yoyo/not a part of the community anymore.

Oh hey there Zammy! Long time since you posted!
Zammy pretty much got all the names! But, hereās my list anyway: Charles Haycock, Jensen Kimmitt, Mark Montgomery, Riccardo Fraolini, Anthony Rohas, Zach Gormley, John Ando. I chose these people because if you were to see them throw without looking at their faces, you would know who was throwing. Thereās something distinct about themā¦like Mark Montgomeryās bind.
Sunshine Jimmy, definitely.
How could no one mentioned him yet?
