NY time had a interesting book review about C. Thi Nguyen latest book, apparently he is a avid thrower and talks about yoyoing, kendama and other hobbies that are fun for the sake of fun. Haven’t t read the book yet but the article was interesting and there is a nice video of him throwing a nice side style combo.

Ha! I watched the episode last week, and I was really surprised that I had never seen Merlo appear in this forum before. I haven’t watched ATHF in a long time, and totally did not remember him!
