who is your roll model in the yoyo world?

A local Des Moines, IA player. Easily one of the nicest and most genuine people on planet earth.

Also, let’s give it up for Spencer Berry one more time. Everyone looks up to him. Dude is TALL.

Well John ando is my all time favorite Player, but he is also a role model because of the way he innovates, he won worlds, then now he is one of my favorite innovators, the reason I didn’t say he is my favorite is because Charles haycock and Riccardo fraolini overshadow him in the innovation part

What do you mean by true colors?

He wont say, big ole’ baby. He’s super happy to talk about how other people aren’t creative and do all these terrible things, but wont say a name or give any reasoning because he actually comes across the big names listed in these threads on occasion.
The only reason he posted at all was to seem more in the know than the rest of us.

Topic starter asked a question.
I answered.
Just like the rest.
Don’t like it? Deal with it.
Please stop being foolish.

André all the way! He is an awsome guy and does so much for the community.

Eric Koloski

and also Hiroyuki Suzuki (performance-wise)

I’m a big fan of Chuck and Zach, as well as Rojas, Jensen, and Riccardo. I started yoyoing right after Jensen won worlds, so I probably watched that freestyle about a thousand times in my first few months learning and it really influenced my style and who I drew inspiration from over the next few years.

add just about everyone at the lodge of the carribous as more of my inspirations ;D

Lazar Medvedev. I love his slacks and tech :slight_smile:

Mostly everyone is my roll model in yoyoing but there are a few that stand out more to me and they are…

surprisingly Ann Connolly not in terms of skill but in terms of what shes doing in the yoyo community. basically in a nut shell is she travels around the world yoyoing promoting a new yoyo, showing off a new colorway constantly and getting signatures. which to me sounds like the best time ever for someone to do in a hobby. But as for skill i look up to Petr Kavaka his style is memorizing and its very techy and slacky at the same time which is mind boggling to me because most of the time you get one or the other in yoyoing.

John Ando for all the hard work, Charles Haycock for the smoothness, Jensen Kimmit for the skills and humor, Ricardo Fraolini for the creativity, Ed Haponik for keeping fixies going, and André Boulayfor the business sense

John Ando got me into it, and Jensen Kimmit has kept me going.

Harold Owens III is rad.

I think it would be fun to chill with Mack Finley.
