I have to agree with you. He is fast as well. I will never forget the moment I learned the Yuuki Slack. It took me 4 years lol ---

Hiroyuki Suzuki for me. When I got into yoyoing in 2007, watching his freestyles at Worlds on youtube were a huge source of inspiration for me. His expertise in yoyoing is unfathomable, he set the bar extremely high for competition, and I think he will go down in yoyoing history as a very influential and unforgettable player. ---

In all seriousness I feel the same way^ Probably wouldn’t be yoyoing today if I didn’t see mickey’s freestyles when I first started! First person I saw do an arm grind, my face melted. ---

I think Hiroyuki is my favorite as well. He’s such a legendary yoyoer and really broke ground with a lot of his tricks. ---

Hiroyuki, his freestyles were partially what got me into modern yoyoing… Then again, according to Brandon Vu, he ate my cheese… If you watch Brandon’s videos, you know what I mean. ---
