[@yeetmixclear]

Flawless. Well done Evan!

[@EvanNagao]

Not quite but good enough haha.

[@yeetmixclear]

I'm a huge fan. The wEDGE and EDGE are my favourites. Most of my tricks are inspired by you.

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!

[@blahmin8344]

"I LOVE YOU" "I LOVE YOU TOO"

[@danielkim1349]

All around youtube yoyo videos I always see him commenting on them and probably learning from them. He definitely deserved this years worlds title

[@michaelsampson8876]

"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.

[@Scayanite]

He said "Iloveyoutoo" tho?😂

[@sashah78]

Yo do me yoyo master, I want you to do it because your the yoyo guy

[@yoyocommunity]

This routine made me smile the entire time I watched it. Truly a great performance and a great routine. Congrats.

[@miz6420]

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

[@poopypantsAgmailocom]

same, i will always remember him as the dude who rolled on the floor at the U.S. nationals

[@wareaglerebel8131]

The 4y old boy on Jay Leno too

[@Avetarx]

Watching the whole thing at 0.25 speed is the correct way.

[@JoeyFlowers]

Never has a yo-yo performance almost bring tears to my eyes.. Until now. Well deserved #inspirstional

[@PsyCronox]

Idk why but watching this video makes me feel glad. Its just good for him, his passion can be felt trough the video.

[@JustinY.]

[@emily9648]

Thank you, Phil, for showing me that yoyo is still cool in 2018!

[@thebrandonvu]

Bruh... 2:49 , if that aint divine intervention idk what is.

[@steveloewen8270]

You mean the Fact he snapped his fingers and the Knot dissappeared Nagao is God

[@owenekblad8635]

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.

[@Pre-Omniscient]

Owen Ekblad Fake GT suicide?

[@owenekblad8635]

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.

[@PatrickCanny]

Owen Ekblad exposed

[@miz6420]

This gave me motivation to start yoyoing again

[@SouthPawFPV]

You looked so happy and proud of yourself at the end! Gave me goosebumps!!

[@CHABIEPORTNOY]

The riskiest freestyle I’ve ever seen.

[@ridzwanngataman6585]

For the next 15 years WYYC will need to have drug test...

[@lvl18abilities]

What why

[@mala5176]

It's so smoothing watching him doing it so effortlessly

[@Bobandy420]

I've never watched a yo yo video before. But watching his happiness at the end made me completely get it.

[@danielwu6981]

I was there at Worlds. I was in the audience and saw this awesome freestyle

[@superawesomeandfun]

Most humble guy in the community, so happy for you Evan :)

[@njuta]

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!

[@dannon2010]

DAMN. Never thought a yoyo coukld make me cry!

[@3alphaawesome]

Crowd is unbelievably hype. Well deserved!

[@EpicDonutDudeMemes]

This is by far the best song with the best gitar solo, great music choise.

[@HanByrneCox]

[@Charming_Prism]

Perfect song choice, it’s like a rock concert!

[@SouthPawFPV]

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!

[@uchenitsa]

This is the most enthusiastic crowd I've ever heard.

[@Shoelaces77]

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

[@AustiuNoMatterWho]

thank you phil. i didn't know it got this crazy

[@jeffmoore2649]

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.....

[@somedonkus5215]

A true master of the Yoyo

[@Supermunch2000]

So much enthusiasm, congratulations!

[@traviswells8180]

Deserved. Dudes been throwing for so long. Congrats dawgie.

[@redarcs5273]

Thanks Phil

[@00DaRkFuRy00]

Congratulations bro, you deserve it!! Amazing routine man, keep it up!! 😉

[@tomdug9634]

YESSSSS IT'S BACK!!!

[@cedr7c]

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

[@bremex]

Excellent song choice, amigo!

[@SoundofBelch]

Thank you Phil, you made us see the truth with Yoyos that are free as birds. You can't change this PhillyD!

[@jalopp42]

[@atolmasoff]

Gloves keep your fingers from getting burns etc?

[@kennyyo2705]

Andrew Tolmasoff yep.

[@almostlistenable]

This is super cool. Could we possibly run this video on Metro.co.uk and its social media channels? With credit and links back to Evan and the competition? This is mesmerising - thanks!

[@r_kimmyyy]

[@KeZaRo0o]

[@LaSpiffy]

[@gigaacademia9313]

[@ezzieorigami6418]

Evan I always thought u were the GOAT man!

[@anthonynicholson8062]

Was this Yo-Yo Ma?

[@NashTenn]

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.

[@MrDee001]

Wow, I didn't know stuff like this was even possible!Philly D sent me here.

[@gkitt9247]

What is the name of his yoyo

[@VihaanAmbre]

Wait why is it disabled in America? I’m on a vpn now to watch it

[@TheDeathstr1ke]

I've never seen so much hype around a yoyo before lol

[@spenzo5822]

and girls love it too

[@psychogat3]

i just wanna know how the string doesn't get tangled up...

[@addicTix]

I was here before this video had millions of views.

[@sashah78]

What is this song

[@danielkim1349]

yoyoing really has evolved

[@morpheus1337]

music ??

[@josephlee648]

Not related to this video in particular, but I feel like there should definitely be a judging category for Trick Originality

[@Pre-Omniscient]

Tricks should be judged in a vacuum at regular contests. At events like 44clash that's okay.

[@hamdogcs]

There isn't in evals, but some judges if they see really original tricks they will give them extra clicks.

[@ConnorSeals]

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.

[@owenekblad8635]

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.

[@kevinrhee9666]

Let's GO!!!!!!!

[@glow2215]

Can't believe you're done competing.

[@heckerfrick9437]

ITS BACK UP

[@ObsidianHoax]

[@mathiasfernandez3631]

It’s baaaack

[@tesserpooh]

Does anyone know what model sneaker that is?

[@Thwapwhacket]

What equipment are you using for this performance?

[@angeljaimes9703]
