Just saw this on Reddit and it's very impressive! Some of those moves are lightning fast! Also, you were very cool under pressure. The tangle seems like no big deal. Great showmanship!
The Brandon Vu lmao no that’s just a trick I made up in February this year, it’s a no-risk triangle suicide. It’s not an actual green triangle, it’s a different mount that looks exactly like a green triangle suicide but if you miss it doesn’t knot.
One thing I realised is that whenever US gets the world title, it's always the japanese that gets 2nd and 3rd, and this is evident as seen in worlds 2014,2015 and 2018
Man this takes me back. I remember when I stopped yoyoing for a while this guy was the last person I had watched. It's been a year now. It's really amazing to see how far he has gotten. I'm now motivated more than ever to try and get to speed with all the professionals
I did this same exact routine in my bedroom once on my 3rd day of a methamphetamine binge. Then I couldn't find my yo-yo because I've never owned one. Thing that make you go hum.
Joseph Lee, there used to be an evaluation called “rareness” which addressed this exact topic. But it was removed because it was too objective and hard to score accurately. And Ham Dog, clicking is only meant to reflect difficulty, not originality. So if a judge is clicking based on originality, he is doing it wrong.
Connor Seals I think originality is built into difficulty. I think if a judge sees an original concept, it may be perceived as difficult due to it being an unknown trick and something never seen before. So I agree with you, but I do think that originality is implicitly built into the clicking process.
Agreed. I don't think tech is attractive to new audiences. My primary goal when making a freestyle is to grow the community. I hope to bring more interesting and creative tricks to smaller contests in the future!
Took me back to the late 70's/early 80's when me and my older Brother were learning to YoYo. Same music playing too (HaHa)... YoYo, Rubik,Chess,Ping Pong (and even Hula-Hoop) were all the craze !!! Not only Insanely fun (and so hard at first to learn) But Incredibly fun to watch !!! Gotta pretty cool bit for you if you're interested. It would take alot of work, but you're no stranger to that.....

Flawless. Well done Evan!
Not quite but good enough haha.
I'm a huge fan. The wEDGE and EDGE are my favourites. Most of my tricks are inspired by you.
Evan Nagao This is the best comment anywhere on the internet, period.
Congratulations
For the next 15 years WYYC will need to have drug test...
What why
Just saw this on Reddit and it's very impressive! Some of those moves are lightning fast! Also, you were very cool under pressure. The tangle seems like no big deal. Great showmanship!
Oh my god Such a good routine
Can't believe you're done competing.
Reddit sent me. I wasn't disappointed. Amazing brother keep it up.
Ali Khan so Evan naggo sent you then, he posted it heh
Jacob Evan yeah 😅

phillip defranco sent me
Bruh... 2:49 , if that aint divine intervention idk what is.
You mean the Fact he snapped his fingers and the Knot dissappeared Nagao is God

Owen Ekblad Fake GT suicide?
Luke Franse yes sir! The idea is to fake the judges into thinking it’s a real triangle, when in reality there’s absolutely no risk involved.
Owen Ekblad exposed
Rumor has it, there is a footlong sandwich and a full head of lettuce in his stomach
Anthony Throws *BURGER KING FOOT LETTUCE*
"I wanna be a Yo Yo Man!" he cried, "Make me a Yo Yo Man!"
But the Yo Yo Master did not answer. He just kept on Yoing.
He said "Iloveyoutoo" tho?😂
Yo do me yoyo master, I want you to do it because your the yoyo guy
"I LOVE YOU"
"I LOVE YOU TOO"
Thank you reddit.
piss off
Yo whats up dude
Wtf you everywhere....even in minor hobby that rarely founded(sorry freakin bad english)
what the FUCK Justin
Justin Y. What’s your profile pic cause I feel like I see it every where
The riskiest freestyle I’ve ever seen.
Watching the whole thing at 0.25 speed is the correct way.
And I thought being able to do 'walk the dog' was impressive...
CONGRATS EVAN!
I believed that you would win Nationals and you did! I was really hoping you win the world and you did it again! CONGRATS MAN!
Gentry
Zach
Now Evan , welcome to the dream team
Hamad Ahmad n8 ta gr8 next
I'm waiting for Keiran cooper
Another viral video in the process
Evan Nagao, the guy who plays 1A like 4A haha
When the main character started his freestyle
Was sent here by Philip DeFranco! Thumbs up if you're a beautiful bastard too!
Evan I always thought u were the GOAT man!
Pretty good, but can he walk the dog?
When i heard the song freebird i knew i was in for some speed
All around youtube yoyo videos I always see him commenting on them and probably learning from them. He definitely deserved this years worlds title
This gave me motivation to start yoyoing again
Way to go kid. Your enthusiam is inspirational.
He is 45 years old.
@@HellenicBM bruh wtf lmao
Gloves keep your fingers from getting burns etc?
Andrew Tolmasoff yep.
I was there at Worlds. I was in the audience and saw this awesome freestyle
This routine made me smile the entire time I watched it. Truly a great performance and a great routine. Congrats.
I wasn't expecting to hear free bird here
anyone else sad that the audio is gone?
ye
0:30
Evan is the Keanu Reeves of the yoyo community
Well both are Hawaiians
yoyoyoyoyyo... yoyo... yo!
Tere ghar
0:30 someone said i love you
evans tricks are crazy
Crowd is unbelievably hype. Well deserved!
One thing I realised is that whenever US gets the world title, it's always the japanese that gets 2nd and 3rd, and this is evident as seen in worlds 2014,2015 and 2018
Nice job Evan!
Who's here from Phillyd??
Philly d
Thanks Phil
와
Man this takes me back. I remember when I stopped yoyoing for a while this guy was the last person I had watched. It's been a year now. It's really amazing to see how far he has gotten. I'm now motivated more than ever to try and get to speed with all the professionals
same, i will always remember him as the dude who rolled on the floor at the U.S. nationals
The 4y old boy on Jay Leno too
우와
Never has a yo-yo performance almost bring tears to my eyes.. Until now. Well deserved #inspirstional
Ladies and genemen
2019 2nd
SO COOOOOOOL
Although this brought him his world champ title, I still think his 2018 US performance tad better. It feels like he was going all out on that one
He was also going all out on this one, he was just sick.
He's got that YoYo down pat, now all he needs is a Pineapple to give Katia Managan a run for her money!
Man that's a hard song to do a routine to! Mad respect! One day I'll be there with you I just know it!
Jeez, if anyone ever tells you there's no reason to have more than 60 fps, show them this video!
Most humble guy in the community, so happy for you Evan :)
world champion 2018 evan! yyf! just announced
It was a Great routine by Evan but I would have liked a different song choice something new he hasn’t done a routine to
I did this same exact routine in my bedroom once on my 3rd day of a methamphetamine binge. Then I couldn't find my yo-yo because I've never owned one. Thing that make you go hum.
Idk why but watching this video makes me feel glad. Its just good for him, his passion can be felt trough the video.
I've never been so amazed by a cylinder on a string before, you keep doing you man, keep doing you!
How is this not an Olympic sport yet?!?!
I've never watched a yo yo video before. But watching his happiness at the end made me completely get it.
Hello from Reddit! :)
Not related to this video in particular, but I feel like there should definitely be a judging category for Trick Originality
Tricks should be judged in a vacuum at regular contests. At events like 44clash that's okay.
There isn't in evals, but some judges if they see really original tricks they will give them extra clicks.
Joseph Lee, there used to be an evaluation called “rareness” which addressed this exact topic. But it was removed because it was too objective and hard to score accurately. And Ham Dog, clicking is only meant to reflect difficulty, not originality. So if a judge is clicking based on originality, he is doing it wrong.
Connor Seals I think originality is built into difficulty. I think if a judge sees an original concept, it may be perceived as difficult due to it being an unknown trick and something never seen before. So I agree with you, but I do think that originality is implicitly built into the clicking process.
Killua be like
This is the most enthusiastic crowd I've ever heard.
Oh yea I expected this to happen
That audience is crazy reactive.
Yes baby he won
The song playing in the background is in GTA V 1:33
#PhillyDSecretLinkClub
It's actually in GTA: SA, and it's called Free Bird.
Good call Papa DeFranco. Did he win btw?
Yes.
Congrats, that was amazing
Congrats, that was amazing
Roses are red
Violets are blue
There's always an asian
Better than u
He's American
Who else came here from Reddit?
A true master of the Yoyo
Funny thing is that there is no Hawaii in BG map(where the logo and sponsors are shown) but a *legend* from Hawaii wins
and girls love it too
ITS BACK UP
This is by far the best song with the best gitar solo, great music choise.
Dude his tricks are fricken amazing only thing is is that they are really not that technical
Agreed. I don't think tech is attractive to new audiences. My primary goal when making a freestyle is to grow the community. I hope to bring more interesting and creative tricks to smaller contests in the future!
Congratulations sir!
@@EvanNagao wow thanks! But yeah the only tech I do is like Zach's tech or body tech also very good job on the win :)
Yeah tech isn't the #1 factor in freestyles normally. Check out evan's instagram if you want to see tech, that stuff is insane
@@emberset2 by tech you mean slack
YES ITS BACK
It's back!!
What is this song
I've never seen so much hype around a yoyo before lol
is this 2014 all over again?
ChingChonBoy yep :(
LOL he messed up but recovered like a boss
First ever left handed 1a world champ?!?!??
Chee Hoo!!!! Hawaii isn’t on the map for the yoyo championship in the background. Evan Nagao just put Hawaii on da map!
1x miss but nice
I love this
Hard to find perfect in 2018
I knew this song sounded familiar 😂😂😂
Thank you Phil, you made us see the truth with Yoyos that are free as birds. You can't change this PhillyD!
I have no understanding of the skill required for this. Looks cool though
He is defintely doping. Damn cheater.
Ya Evan your the man i can not believe it you win the world yo yo contest , you are favorite yo yo players i got to say you did Evan good job
Thank you Phily D for this. Your secret links rarely disappoints
Deserved. Dudes been throwing for so long. Congrats dawgie.
Took me back to the late 70's/early 80's when me and my older Brother were learning to YoYo. Same music playing too (HaHa)... YoYo, Rubik,Chess,Ping Pong (and even Hula-Hoop) were all the craze !!! Not only Insanely fun (and so hard at first to learn) But Incredibly fun to watch !!! Gotta pretty cool bit for you if you're interested. It would take alot of work, but you're no stranger to that.....
2018 and yet the map behind him looks like 2010 (no South Sudan on it)
Damn millenials have turned yo-yoing into a senseless dance fest. Bring back the yo-yo of old!
Damn that's some dedication homie. Congratz Keep it Up !! :)
Thanks, Philip DeFranco!
Congratulations bro, you deserve it!! Amazing routine man, keep it up!! 😉
Gay
Why is this in my recommendation? wtf.. youtube do your job dammit!
