What an incredible journey. Thank you for sharing.
I remember as a teenager in the 80s, we always joked that BMX would be an Olympic sport someday. Well, it happened. I couldn’t believe it.
With time, growth in popularity, and the popularity it already has worldwide, I wouldn’t count the idea out yet. You never know. They had Breakdancing…
I think it would be more entertaining than a lot of events that they currently hold. But I’m biased. Even if it were to be included, I doubt it would totally change yo yo culture all at once. The Olympics are only every 4 years. I’d imagine we’d still have the same brands and stars, but they’d have to come up with separate routines to fit the Olympic scoring system. Breakdancing was included. And I guess it’s more mainstream than it was in the 80s and 90s. But I haven’t seen any breakdancing gyms/dojos popping up…
I volunteer to be the Ray Gun of yoyo
