There are many different reasons for many different players. Some do it for fun, some for competitive reasons, some for relaxation, but I want to know what makes you so entranced in the art style that is yoyoing.

I do it mostly because it makes me feel good. I like to enter the state of flow where I just feel like my hands are moving for me, and I’m not really thinking. It’s kind of a meditation for me. On the flip side, I want to introduce yoyoing to the world because I feel that the yoyo community can truly help people who feel like they don’t belong find a place that they feel included. As one of the main influencers in the sport/hobby, I feel it is sort of my responsibility to show yoyo to the world.
