[@MrTheyoyoer]

And once again, Augie shows why he is my favorite yoyo player.

[@stokrotkaa7]

great music, amazing yoyo player . I love this movie

[@dibbadai666]

Augie you rule. Your stuff has so much more originality than a dozen (skilled) average yoyoers combined.

[@WAHPerfect]

I could watch this for days.

[@aarondav1s]

This made me cry. It was just so... so beautiful...

[@Lukestar7]

Absolutely amazing! Thank you Augie.

[@OfficialJakeCross]

this was crazy, gave me the chill, you hardly even look ONCE

[@braveblade87]

tricks + music = mind blown

[@Erricrice]

Awesome tricks! I love how you tried to do some serious face, but there's no way you can't smile while doing tricks that awesome!

[@jonahtroy]

still in my top 5 fav yoyoers

[@DevilFang117]

OUT OF THIS WORLD MASSOVE RESPECT AUGIE!!

[@coletindalextra]

I love that we can see this again. Thank you!

[@Graiskye]

thanks for sharing that with us all truly breathtaking parts, some funny shit, and some truly warped stuff. Love the somber approach

[@thebrandonvu]

Augie you should do a blind folded performance by the looks of this you dont need your eyes

[@yoyong1995]

Best Augie video this year. He looks so serious though... IDK what to think.

[@thugnasty1021]

Dude all jokes aside i hope you see my comment cause coming back to this video so many years later gives me so much nostalgia that i wanna say thank you bro! You inspired me so much back in the day like you really was one of the people that truly got me into this as a kid and i respect tf outta you for that. Bout to turn 26 and youve been someone ive loved to watch hit some tricks since i was like probably 13 lol, thank you fr.

[@augiefash2239]

I stumbled on your comment after not having seen this video in years. Man, that means so much to me! It makes it all so worth it, for real. Much love to you bro, and drop me a line any time!

[@thugnasty1021]

@@augiefash2239 I'm just showing respect to one of the OGs in the modern yoyo scene who helped pave the way for the throwers today. That's something you should be proud of bro, there's plenty of us modern throwers who was inspired by YOU so like I said, be proud of yourself bro.

[@NiteRider107]

Augie, I'd like to emulate you more through my yoyoing. Out of everybody on the yoyofactory team, you inspire me the most. Always have! Awesome video.

[@Gentrystein]

Amazing. All that needs to be said.

[@nicholi2789]

Incredible stuff. Just. Incredible.

[@yomattieT]

Modern yo-yoing at its best!

[@DrummerQ]

Purely amazing.

[@nolsoe94]

dude!, That was sick. I was actually sitting and listening to Trentemøller (denmark represent!) just before I saw this vid. dude!, your tricks are sick! soo smooth and flowy. The whole feel of the vid blows my mind dude. It was about time someone used a Trentemøller-track in a vid.

[@geogiz75]

Pure Art.

[@jonahtroy]

still in my top 5 fav yoyoers!!! somewhat creepy with the staring, lol

[@theflyinghawk111]

awesome as usual, really Augie is one of the most unbelievably talented yoyoers out there. Good job man.

[@Threadkeeper]

These is some righteous moves

[@augiefash]

Thanks so much!

[@CKRod]

Wow. This is what true mastery looks like. My goal is to one day play like you. Well done!

[@yatapog]

Chris Rodrigues can you play like him yet? you've had 3 years

[@augiefash2239]

I never mentioned it, but this comment always meant an awful lot to me man! Especially coming from such a great player as you. Never forgotten it.

[@Dialga15132]

I see a champion. A world champion :)

[@ButterscotchGenius]

I almost always switch out to a Center Trac. I've been trying to get YoyoFactory to ship it stock that way, because the play of the yoyo is SO much better with the Center Trac in there. :)

[@levim2]

this is so great i wish i had a camera right now :)

[@4420kef]

Sick!!! Can't wait to meet you at RYYC ((=

[@ButterscotchGenius]

Two of the biggest factors in stability are size and rim weight. Typically, undersized yoyos are less stable than full-size yoyos. However, if you're looking specifically for a stable, undersized yo-yo, I think the Boss is one of the most stable undersized yoyos on the market.

[@fallenangemon0]

Augiecides are dope.

[@Gentrystein]

And BOOM goes the dynamite.

[@yoyohigby]

That is one magical video!

[@destrian]

Well, I ended up rolling with Recreational Revolution stuff. Got the Rec Rev: Facade, TA-1A, Octave 3 and the new Anthony Rojas Edition Freq.Wav. Ironically the ta-1a feels like an iron stable catalyst! I know the new smaller catalyst is coming but I couldn't wait. Time for you too create some tutorials man! The yoyo community needs you in south central los angeles.... a new small yoyo crew is being built!

[@omercyyp]

Dude, that is great !

See you at the Italian yoyo contest !

[@BUFA247]

King!

[@ButterscotchGenius]

@LookitzJason It's named after Jason Lee, one of my biggest inspirations.

[@jrspike100]

lol you can tell he's trying not to smile during some parts

[@baklanos]

0.40 inside myself, i'm crying...

[@Masterrs733]

1:57 -OWERSOME!!!!!!!

[@thatsmithbro]

Imho as far as style goes, no one trumps Augie

[@YomericaORdef]

I don't even know what to say augie other than THANK YOU FOR THE AMAZINGLY INSPIRING VIDEO!!! I'm going to go yoyo now - Jamie

[@destrian]

0:47 is the most impressive trick i've seen in a while. its too dope man. Would you now recommend any other yoyo over the Catalyst. My budget is $84.00 I have the Rec Rev TA-1A and the only thing that I hate about it is it doesnt spin quite as long.... decent but not long. If it were about 69-70g in stead of 66 it would probably have more momentum on a throw. Any suggestions? I think I want the Catalyst but what would you recommend at this point?

[@ButterscotchGenius]

Hola amigo, It's Miss You by Trentemøller. I don't have a name for the trick but it is a grind I made up in '04 followed by the shoulder trick from '08.

[@Derrenyo14]

hey augie, do you just use the stock bearing the catalyst comes with or do you switch it out with a different one (i.e: center trac, ten ball, konkave)?

[@iNFaunTae]

ok just one more question, how many years did it take u get where u are now, in other words when was the first time u started yo-yoing?

[@baklanos]

f-ing amazing!

[@ButterscotchGenius]

It is listed underneath the video. :)

[@jeffreypang911]

0:48 defies gravity

[@ButterscotchGenius]

@yoyoguy9899 Companies will almost always ask you. :) I got asked to join after I competed in the Y3A contest in Las Vegas in 2004, and I've been with YYF ever since.

[@Halleluyoyo]

ah here it is. i had to find a link for it

[@LLCoolZack]

the new Chop king

[@theninjasailor]

That wasn't just awesome. That was Augsome

[@DvNZBRCL]

I'm very curious about that Catalyst colorway, it's a custom one? Proto maybe? It looks so cool!

[@augiefash2239]

Hey bro! It was actually spraypainted white with like 5 layers of spray paint. It played absolutely terrible. I sent it to my good friend who was living in Kazakhstan at the time. He still has it. :)

[@iTextTJ]

Hey Augie, would you say the Catalyst is a fast yoyo?

[@chaseyoyos5]

Ok AUGIE!! Man your amazing an ur the inspiration tht got me yoyoing haha anyways what's the music called and what's the trick after it says symmetry??

[@nolsoe94]

This vid made me drool, ... srsly.

[@ButterscotchGenius]

Hmm... really depends on what you're looking for man. If you're looking for just great stability and long spin times, try the One Drop Code 1, or any 44 Recreation or Turning Point Yoyo. Super G is good too. :)

[@pizzaboy6877]

Want that Whip+Slack :((

[@ButterscotchGenius]

I like the Catalyst a lot better. Longer spins on the Catalyst and the Yuuksta plays too light for me. If you're for an undersized yo-yo, I like the Boss and DV888 more than the Yuuksta. Yuuksta looks super rad and has great colorways, but I don't think it plays as well as some of the others. :)

[@ButterscotchGenius]

@iKoolio007 I like 75 pounds a few years ago, then gained some back. So now I am back to playing a lot of Dance Dance Revolution, haha.

[@Snapsta]

Veeery nice

[@Gen3tx]

Aww shit Augie got swag!!!

[@bayzel12]

dont you look at me like this!

[@ButterscotchGenius]

Haha, yes sir!

[@RowanRoseGold]

It's like you're staring into my soul... Er... That is, if I had one.

[@iNFaunTae]

is the boss a stable yo-yo? because i don't like it when a yo-yo starts to tilt in every single trick that i do like my crappy 888x

[@onlyusemeblade32]

augie- do u know how i can get sponsored

[@Derrenyo14]

cool :D

[@iNFaunTae]

Which is better Augie, The Yuuksta or the Catalyst? Augie be honest man..

[@thanh320]

wow...

[@NofleListens]

what do you call the trick from 1:04 to 1:07

[@ez2memba]

somebody plzzz tell me what song is this?

[@GhostWireThrows99]

What exactly is "the jason tapes"???

[@ButterscotchGenius]

@mykallange666 I want to make some eventually. I'm not the best at instruction, so I really want to put in the time to make the instruction clear, plus get the right video equipment before I release any. ...But someday!

[@pashkevichyo]

what song in this video???

[@jamesofyoyo]

AUGIE DEATH STARE.

[@vRetentionzZ]
