How to Become Freakishly Good at the Yo-Yo

You may not be particularly into the yo-yo, but any expert’s explanation of their particular skill or craft is fascinating. In this video for Wired, world yo-yo champion Gentry Stein explains the sport, shares some basic moves, and shows off his most difficult tricks. I used to yo-yo a bit โ€” nothing like what Stein does in that video though โ€” and watching him makes me want to buy one of these professional yo-yos and practice up.
