    I can't believe he created an entire routine for them, set it to music, performed it flawlessly, and then they just casually put loud narration over the music so that you can't hear it playing. Talk about a slap in the face.

      As a yo-yo performer, I can tell you that him “creating a special routine set to music for them and they put some dumb narration over it…” and that somehow being a “slap in the face,” is not true at all. It’s just plain fun when people appreciate what you do, and if you listened to Gentry, he said the feeling of people appreciating your creation…”never gets old.” Entertainment like yo-yoing is always better when viewed live, and I’m sure the crew who filmed this were blown away by what they got to shoot. If you really want to see him doing his thing, all of the winning performances are on RUclips, so you’re not missing anything because they added narration, which was excellent and gave tons of insight for non-yo-yo people and pros alike. Haters gonna hate 😅

    The great thing about modern yoyos is it's a really cheap hobby to get into (unless you're like me and end up collecting them). Whilst you can buy expensive yoyos like a bi-metal or something, a $20-30 yoyo can do pretty much any trick you want to do. Gentry Stein won the US Nationals in 2015 using a Yoyofactory Replay Pro, which is a $16 plastic yoyo.
    Also whilst you might find it difficult at first to come to grips with the workings of it all, once you get the hang of it you can start building up your trick list pretty quickly.

      @Figureight 5 лет назад +4

      @@evilhutdug4665 Well of course, but again none of that is at all expensive. You use such miniscule amounts of lube that one little vial can last ages. Besides, I don't even relube my bearings. Just cleaning them is adequate for me, and in fact I rarely do that either. Also anything more than even the lightest ever drop of thin lube will make a bearing turn responsive. Lube is more of a thing for 2a looping yoyos honestly. Also you can get a box of string for like $10 that will last ages. Also some strings just last ages anyway. I use Yoyostringlab Venom, and whilst it looks like it frays quickly, if you keep using it it smoothes back out. I've got yoyos that I've had the same Venom string on for like 2 years and it's still whippable and smooth.

      in other words if Killua uses a stone instead of yoyo it will come back automatically to his hand thanks to these rings on his arm

      The alchemy Gamer he has a special yo yo it’s called a sleeper yo yo which means to get it back up there is a trick u have to do which is why he can’t do all that with out it coming back up in the middle whereas cheap toy ones are made so that when u tug is comes back up so I can’t rly do tricks

      There is a basic trick that can make the yoyo goes up, the trick is called "binding", if you can mount the yoyo on the string, you will learn how to bind the yoyo easily
