The Best At Spinning A Yo-yo

I have trouble winding a yo-yo up, let alone making it spin up and down.



Funny, I wasn’t impressed. Or I was disappointed. It was more like a knitting contest than a yo-yo contest. I was expecting the yo-yo to go up and down at least some of the time, but all he did was tie the string into a bunch of funny patterns — a string that happened to have a yo-yo at the end of it. It used to be all about the yo-yos, man. Now it’s just string this and string that. What’s the world coming to?
