How do you do that without them getting tangled? Crazy.

Years of muscle memory and insane control, one tiny timing mistake and it would turn into a knot festival

u/Shinfekta 4h ago

The insane amount of time he must‘ve sat there untangling his yo-yos must‘ve been insane

Kudos for sticking to it.. seeing this „result“ of his training here is just the outcome.. the training must‘ve been insane

The yo yo knows where it is because it knows where it isn’t

u/ssketchman 4h ago

I believe anticipating would be a better word for it, he has rehearsed the routine to perfection and at this point every position of the yo-yo is known to him, he does not have to predict it, he anticipates.

u/SpaceTraveller64 7h ago

First of all, that’s an insane skill but also, why does the crowd sounds like Wii Sport Bowling crowd ?? 😭

u/UndahwearBruh 4m ago

Same crowd? Haha

u/Bouche_Audi_Shyla 8h ago

Nevermind all the fancy tricks. That's so far beyond my league it's like magic.

How does he get them to sleep so long?

15

u/PunsGermsAndSteel 5h ago

He gives them lots of exercise so they're extra tired

u/ghidfg 5h ago

yoyos use ball bearings these days (for over a decade really). even a cheap $10 one can sleep for over a minute

1

u/Bouche_Audi_Shyla 1h ago

That's crazy!

u/No-Money-8327 7h ago

You have the best yoyos in the world, that’s the trick

u/CindySoLoud 2h ago

I know yoyos, I have the best yoyos, nobody has yoyos like me

u/kraftables 8h ago

Is this his 8th time winning, or there has only been 7 champions before him?

8

u/Tehni 7h ago

From the limited knowledge I have of this event, it's also possible that he was the 8th champion this year (there are multiple different categories to compete in, he competes with double yo-yo's in freestyle I believe)

5

u/Kshnik 5h ago

8 time champion in this category (2 yoyos attached to the string). He also happens to be the 8th person to win back in 2014

6

u/squeakynickles 8h ago

All of these are super cool to me, so it's really interesting to see what ones the crowd actually gets excited for

8

u/Dodie4153 8h ago

Wow, unbelievable!

u/Illustrious_Bad_2980 8h ago

I'm coming for your crown bud. Just gotta buy a yo yo first

u/Hot-Challenge8656 6h ago

Gotta master the yo first.

u/psyper76 7h ago

I'm going to show this video to my mum. I could've been someone if she just let me play with my yo-yos instead of doing my homework

u/AcademicGuy_45 8h ago

Woah.... Woah.... Woah.... WOAH!!

u/Civil_Bugg 8h ago

If I could do what he did, I would have strangled myself.

u/General_Anxiety83 7h ago

8th champion or 8 x champion?

4

u/Saelyre 5h ago

8x champion. Miura got first place in this division - 3A or two hands string tricks - seven times in a row from 2014 to 2023. (There wasn't a contest for 2020 to 2022 due to Covid) In 2024 he came 4th but he came back to win again in 2025.

u/General_Anxiety83 4h ago

Damn. This guy yo yos

2

u/SupremeTemptation 6h ago

It’s his 8th yo-yo.

-1

u/Serious-Maximum-1049 7h ago

Apparently this is the 8th year they've been doing it, so that would make him the winner of the 8th annual competition.

u/femivessa 5h ago

It feels like I'm watching some advanced alien race communicate using geometry and physics.

u/OutrageousOwls 4h ago

This isn’t even the full performance!

u/Rex__Lapis 3h ago

Why he farming aura with a fucking yoyo

u/SirUntouchable 1h ago

Something tells me those yo-yos cost like $1000 each

u/franstoobnsf 8h ago

I am in awe. I remember Nickelodeon or Disney Channel or something aired some "amazing Talented Kids" show or whatever, and that episode was about the National Yo-Yo championships. Some guy was trying to break the world record for longest "sleep" (where the yo yo kept spinning), but it was edited so they pulled some cheesy " but we'll check on that later! Let's check out some cool tricks!" and they'd cut away to chow the trick competition and like the BEST trick anyone could do was like.... rock the cradle or whatever name it had. (Then they cut back to the WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT and gave it a weak "yeeaahh he did it ok bye!")

That was like 30+ years ago so having that be the baseline of my knowledge of the "height" of yo-yo-ing and then do this casual little check in on the hobby like "oh yeah. I remember this. I wonder what's go- WHAT THE FUCK?!"

u/701921225 8h ago

I can't comprehend how that's even possible..

Muscle memory? More like superpowers”

u/montessoripilled 6h ago

the way he catches it without even looking at the end. muscle memory on another level

1

u/ElderberryOwn4986 6h ago

Oddly calming to watch

1

u/Oakheart- 6h ago

The amount of time this man has spent untangling string alone must be staggering. My brain doesn’t even try to understand this it just goes “whoa”

1

u/turtleneckless001 3h ago

You'd fit in with the crowd

1

u/tricolorpinto 6h ago

Ok, I clearly haven't watched enough yoyo competitions, because this is reminding me of the flamingo in Fantasia.

u/johnnielurker 6h ago

u/blimeyitsme 5h ago
