1A Finals - 1st - Janos Karancz - 2013 World Yo-Yo Contest Champion

[@darkglory19]

Janos winning Worlds with picture tricks was a once in a lifetime performance. ah what a time to be alive!

[@TraciCuber]

I love the crowd

[@roystonhuang9610]

+Traci Cuber WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAH! WOOOOOOOOOOH!

[@StrippedAxle]

He deserved it. He's years ahead of the game right now. Incredible.

[@Modern_Yoyos]

This comment holds up about a decade later. He's still years ahead of the game in 2022.

[@EBosAnimation]

Who here still thinks this is the best finals performance to this day?

[@이준혁-h2n1c]

Jensen's 2010 Worlds Freestyle is untouchable in my opinion..

[@chair805]

Agree

[@chair805]

***** yeh i think that too

[@TheCookieCruzader]

+Ed Lee true dude, I prefer his 2011 performance though.

[@edn6671]

Nah, but is pretry high up there. I think Markus Kohs 2011 freestyle is my very favourite, butthere are some others that beat this aswell. There is Shinya Kido's 2009 freestyle, that was amazing, and Luis Enrique Villasenors 2011 freestyle

[@IanJYoyo]

gotta be one of, if not the, most unique freestyles of all time. true champion 🙏🏼

[@JulienSenopati]

IMHO Best 1st place performance since Jensen Kimmitt in 2010

[@diegoyomx]

I cant stop watching this it is just amazing i have seen it like 10 times. “remarkably clean and terrifyingly difficult.” - Steve Brown

[@V3ritas1989]

every time I am depressed, I watch this and I am back motivated and full of energy... incredible strong Magic !

[@Saulatude]

I sht you not; I have spent , in total, about four and a half hours watching this. Two and a half at first, then at least two since. This is probably the coolest thing I`ve ever seen.

[@Alexrose12345678910]

First song was Audio Bullys - Bang Bang (Feat. Nancy Sinatra). Second song was a section of Infected Mushroom - The Rat (which starts a minute into the song). Third song was an instrumental version of The State Of Massachusetts - Dropkick Murphys.

[@JEscobarSV]

dude, every person has a thing he or she is crazy for. People who have never liked or even played with a yoyo don't understand this, I have not played with one for over a decade, but man, I would be cheering, screaming and applauding this guy if I was there.... the tricks he do require a lot of skills, practice and concentration.

[@PatrickCanny]

Not only one of the best in the world, but one of the nicest guys at the contest.

[@ItzKimsnacx]

HE IS LEGEND

[@DuncanToys]

Slow mo link now in the description ;)

[@DeityZiex]

It's not a yo-yo. It's a guy doing yo-yo tricks that seem impossible and is the #1 best in the world at doing them. Something to feel proud of.

[@KnuxKitsune]

I don't understand why there are so many negative comments. I mean, the Likes vastly outweigh the dislikes, but I guess there are people who are just jealous that they don't have any kind of talent, skill, or athletic ability to do something that requires such precision and grace, not to mention stamina.

[@fynnkwast4510]

thank you

[@Smacic355]

Duncan is making a comeback to the contest scene !!!! Congrats to Janos this was a amazing freestyle !

[@DennisCWalega]

Oh, boy. Really something to be proud of right here.

[@matthewmandli]

I'm most impressed by the fact that there was a portion where the audience clapped in time with the beat. Yo-yo audiences are notoriously bad for having terrible rhythm while cheering at European contests.

[@Ferkidactilo]

2:48 is it State of Massachusetts by Dropkick Murphys? I'm asking because the song before that isn't by them. btw amazing video and amazing performance. Would love to train it but Rubik's Cube is inside my heart you know

[@ryanlcooper]

Holy crap. Excellent buildup too, that trick at the end was bloody incredible.

[@b3u0c6k]

for a second couldn't I take my eyes off what you were doing János, amazing job, very amazing!!

[@sandorati83]

Gratula.Jó volt minden.További sok sikert.

[@zacharypellouchoud7083]

Old but gold

[@dionzz99]

i found out that this is the best one so far he sync with the music so perfect-ly great

[@ErokTallix]

ok i actually logged in to post this because ANYONE that would type anything passive or negative to this guy's performance doesn't even exist. with that being said i might as well type something. this shit is inSANE coordination. And how he matches it to the music is astonishing. Now go out there all you future yoyoers...see if you can top that

[@KnuxKitsune]

Yup. It spins idle. A good yo-yo will idle (spin freely) for 3+ minutes. You can then either return it and throw it again, or dead-start it with your hand.

[@aaa-s3g]

he's so humble!

[@jsnmrk]

I'm always amazed at this level of GEEK.

[@SavageParts]

Can anyone help me figure out what trick he did around 1:46 - 1:49 ? It looked like ninja vanish into a wrist mount. Crazy move I gotta learn!

[@CHABIEPORTNOY]

History’s most deserving freestyle to win 1st place!

[@NinjaPandaMk1]

The part from 1:10 to 1:21 is Bang Bang. I wasn't sure of the rest of it. Thanks for the extra info for everyone.

[@MrDolsiac]

Amazing! I remember trying the basic stuff as a kid, didn't last long haha. Props to this guy he is very skilled.

[@tweetiej13]

This would be so cool in a dark room with a glow in the dark yoyo and string!

[@gaborszivos507]

The last one is Dropkick Murphys - The State Of Massachusetts. if you meant it as the guitar one

[@subversayt]

There is 9 'divisions', it's 'A1' as mentioned in the title so it's about string trics.

[@AMonkeyThatIsChunky]

What a great crowd too, makes it all hat much better.

[@Miximono]

Two golds for Duncan this year, DOOD!!!!

[@jaykyut3530]

ive never said the word damn so many times in under 4mins.

[@danielschmid8530]

Finally another world champion that got my attention. Sick moves bro! 8)

[@DuncanToys]

Wish granted. Slow mo link is in now in the description.

[@keithdempsey7]

I saw the news articles about this for a while now and i've put it off until Reddit finally spoon fed it to me tonight.... I severely underestimated the absurdity that I was in for.. Holy shit

[@Litleman]

yoyoskills (dot com/?p=10101 the clicker score refers to two clickers, one positive and one negative. positive clicks for each trick element, string hit etc, exxtras added by judges disrection. negative clicks for missed hits, restarts and yoyo changes.

[@ravviking]

inmot!on is from Switzerland, they won AP in 2012.

[@aaronkumamoto2787]

The second song is state of Massachusetts by dropkick murphys

[@frankrizzo4077]

this guy has the silkiest mitts iver ever seen. I may start training full time to become a world class yo-yo magician

[@julianmagdangal2947]

As a decent yoyoer if i may say so myselff, i couldnt do an 8th of the tricks he did. Compared to other professionals, janos style is so much more technical and adds many ninja vanish type tricks and insanely difficult whips and lacerations. Its so insane the level of difficulty and the crazyest part is the consistency of his string hits. Very well deserved win and he deserves much applause.

[@cuber18fred]

the slomo is in the description. click "Show More"..:)

[@Smacic355]

I hate when the general population starts commenting on yoyo videos.. most of them are just negative and insulting comments. But that's what happens when people just don't understand our hobby and what we do and the amount of time we put into it. All in all this was a great freestyle by Janos and i proud to see him win the tittle he deserves. In a way this reminded me of the 2010 contest when jensen kimmitt won, two different styles but same crowd energy

[@N8blowsfire]

Anyone curious as to song #3 it is "The State of Massachusetts" by The Dropkick Murphys.

[@parkerman111]

what are those awesome songs?!

[@imhellag]

This is probably the best place to ask this: what is the best Duncan yoyo out right now? You know, if I don't want to spend $100+ on a Barracuda? I loved my plastic FH1's (gray and yellow/orange!) and ordered a Metal Zero, but whats the stuff besides that?

[@FUSIONchris]

Brings back the 90s with my fireball. I miss those days. Greesing up the bering and removing the rubber washers to make it sleep longer.

[@Litleman]

"who else but the utmost enthusiast would attend to watch such a competition" answered your own question there buddy ;)

[@LOLZockerOMFG]

thx dude :3

[@ty_usesyoyoswithnostring7839]

And he made it to finals in 2017 as well

[@NexGenRogue]

It's just an around the legs bind really, I don't think there's tutorials on it but it's pretty simple if you think about it.

[@vandcastraveti]

the last song is by Dropkick Murphys but I can't remember the name.

[@brownieporterfield9572]

what was that last song that he played? with the banjo. it was bad ass

[@Sarvets]

the title: LORD OF YO-YO

[@MattitudeXSensei]

not in the middle of the contest they could not, these got posted DURING worlds which makes it incredibly hard to organize everything right that second

[@a2hotz]

I dont even care about yo-yos but the last 5 seconds on his performance gave me chills.

[@SmilePileProd]

And I'm a rock climber but watching Chris Sharma still leaves me speechless. Whether you engage the activity or not, you can clearly tell this is some black magic.

[@teddi4292]

takes crazy to a whole new level

[@Wally-TheKillingMachine-Gator]

I used to get pretty pumped when I could get the yo-yo to come back up...

[@omerdemirtas3994]

best performance of all time

[@JonathanBruder]

@Azrael71109 While I can understand while you feel that way, it's way, way more interesting than the bad dancing of yo-yo routines past. It's technical, rhythmic, musical, and enthralling. If the music's off, that might not come across.

[@fossman35]

The throw hand slack control is what makes the whole thing rock. All the runner's up seem to be about hand speed.

[@TrevorHamberger]

and they say yo-yoing is not a sport. this is an athletic achievement of body rhythm

[@halsti99]

well .. thanks for the explenation .. but what i mean is .. you cant actually see exactly what hes doin without slow motion so .. who in hell can do that ? or do they have the slowmo for it?

[@TrancerB7]

I like how he walks off the stage like he's a little kid that didn't know what the hell he was doing, then surprisingly just won a world yo-yo contest.

[@AutumnOakPegaes]

Gotta love hows goes from the ZONE to full humble at the end of the performance.

E volta ao mundo, queridão? Vc faz?

[@bihcardinals]

there is a slow mo feature on youtube under setting

[@xtechbiz]

We need a slow motion footage of this!

[@brianozil9562]

Awesome man

[@MrTheYoyo1]

awsome.3:06 were can i find how to do that trick

[@kristemmerman921]

I haven' got a clue on how I got here

[@prod.eenigma]

Kris Temmerman your on the best side of youtube

[@coday5274]

What was that last song called?

[@VadersMyUncle]

dropkick murphy's-state of Massachusetts, probably just the instrumental version

[@mylesgregory9417]

VadersMyUncle old shoe remix

[@AndrewWong1995]

Sandstorm- Darude

[@mylesgregory9417]

AndrewWong1995 douche

[@enant]

CODAy REALLY?! CRINGE

[@ohnen818]

Anyone know the tune playing during his last routine?

[@erwanmorin94]

What's the name of the music at 1.27 and 2.20 ? thx

[@Ktccam]

What's the song at around 2:00 with the banjo playing? Anyone know?

[@KnuxKitsune]

The best yo-yos only go down. For these tricks, you must have an unresponsive bearing-driven yo-yo that idles for a long time.

[@taylordtaylord]

Yo Yo's still exist?

[@altaher85]

can someone explain whether the tricks he were performing new or just master level tricks (i understand absolutely nothing about yo-yo's); the reason i ask is because the crowd keeps cheering and chanting as if they've never seen these tricks before, which i find quire weird as who else but the utmost enthusiast would attend to watch such a competition.

[@xTH2x]

Can you make the tutorial for the trick around 23 - 27 sec?

[@JulienSenopati]

Does anyone know what string he's using?

[@slayeroflight]

I think it's called "practice"

[@JulienSenopati]

Sorry

[@darkdragoon007]

***** he just wants to know the yoyo string

[@JulienSenopati]

Thanks drake jones

[@slayeroflight]

drake jones no shit

[@avengers668]

What's the sound effect in 2:06-2:08?

[@renster143]

yes i hope that was easy to figure out considering he is wearing a duncan shirt

[@GustavoVasconcelos]

Name and artist of the last music (the celtic one), go.

[@wDawks]

Is the yo-yo spinning during all of that?

[@penguinbadgerturkeybear4343]

That was awesome. Really really Kool!

[@FuzuliPanda]

Anyone know the song names? Especially the guitar one

[@brandonreinard9324]

Yes. We are.

[@viiitality]

what are the names of the songs that hes yo'ing to?

[@3thxHokage]

[@Fluffypringle]

[@davontemcduffie8850]

[@Killerofmobs]

[@diegoyomx]
