I’m rather new at yo-yoing and was wondering who your role models are now and when you first started out? Also, (other than the best yoyoer Evan Nagao :wink:) who do you think would be a good role model for me as a young teen?

My role models when I just got back into yoyoing in 2009 were mainly Takahiro Iizuka, Yuuki Spencer, Hiroyuki Suzuki, John Ando, and Jensen Kimmitt.
