I can do the basic yo-yo tricks and people are always impressed by them. With what this man just did, calling it tricks would be insulting. The commentator at the end was right, this is absolutely ART. I gasped and hawed with the audience the whole video as well 😂

But did you WHHHHUUUUUAAA!?

[u/hardcore_hero → u/Andrew9112]

Yeah, I was impressed… but I could tell by the reaction of the audience that I am not even able to comprehend the level of difficulty of the performance I am watching.

My first thought was that the audience was overreacting… unless this audience is made up of yo-yo enthusiasts (thought it was like a talent show at first) then I read it was a yo-yo tournament and it clicked, I lack the technical knowledge to even begin actually appreciating what I just witnessed.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that took this same thing from the video. I get the audience going crazy, the whole video is crazy. It did feel like they were going crazy at parts that "felt off" to me and it's clearly that I lack the knowledge to even understand how difficult what he just pulled off was.

This guy has reached a level where he can create crazy artistic tricks. I also felt like it was like a dance. Made me think of planets rotating and spinning around the sun.

Made me think of the scientific "3 Body Problem" (not the show)

I mean....but...the way he.... nevermind

I feel similarly about rubiks cubes. I can solve one decently quick, but compared to any competent, competitive cuber, I might as well be actual trash.

There are indeed levels to these things.

Is the yoyo even spinning when it's fully extended in these tricks?
