He does a suicide and instead of catching it with his finger, he catches it with his liberty spike.

and another one 4 1A…Guy Wright!

74

I have too have four

  1. Guy Wright- Amazing tricks and so smooth, he has inspired all of my tricks.
  2. Yuuki Spencer- Some how always comes up with new stuff no to mention that each and every time they get better and better.
  3. Zach Gormley- For the most part watched his yoyoing advance and each time I watch a new video I always ask “How in the world did he think of that ???!! ???!! ???!!”
  4. Augie Fash- Always has fun no matter what! And his skills has done nothing but get better.

I listed three people earlier in the thread who were my first influences in yo-yos…Nemo Concepcion, Gus Somera, and Bob Rule.

It should be noted that Bob Rule is way way WAY beyond being a “yo-yo hero”. The guy is an inspiration to me in every possible aspect of life.

He’s a player, a demonstrator, a historian, a collector, an entrepreneur, a business man, a dedicated father, husband, and family man, and he lives his life like every day might be his last.

The first time I ever invited Bob to a yo-yo contest, his reply was “Oh man, that would be great! But that conflicts with my annual snowmobile racing trip in Canada, and I can’t let the guys down.”

He was in his mid-60s at the time.

He’s humble, gracious, generous, and absolutely devoted to whatever he is doing at that moment, and I’ve never met anyone his equal.

The fact that I get to call Bob Rule my friend is one of that absolute greatest things in my life.
