Hey! I like ur videos.

[@Fried33]

Yo brandon

[@lolictrollic7423]

You also did my man! Keep making amazing content!

[@cedr7c]

Having fun on stage, being serious at the same time and 3 DNAs, what a lad. Happy he won!

[@emailbenbenson]

DNA?

[@NotAghostSpeedruns]

@@emailbenbenson I am guessing it's the trick where he holds the spinning yoyo horizontally, causing the string to ripple in a pattern that kinda looks like a double helix.

[@VetNovice]

One of the best performances in 2022, or ever. So many banger tricks, well timed, done with his own music. Evan is a monster. It was a sublime, flawless victory.

[@lil_corky0332]

He even added his own lyrics. 1:34 "Can I do the DNA behind my head? I don't know the DNA is a pretty hard trick. So doing it behind my head is going to be close to impossible. But let's try it anyways. If I hit this, I think that deserves some clicks." That's insane. And he had no negative click. All perfect. AWESOME COMEBACK EVAN!!!!

[@luislizardo5008]

He had negs but still an insane freestyle. Well deserved win for sure

[@markasread]

That was so clever! Evan's always full of surprises!

[@EvanNagao]

It's a tiktok script I wrote haha! Wasn't quite flawless, but it was pretty close!

[@asanezz1111]

@@luislizardo5008 What are negative clicks?

Evan is such a good performer in terms of the way he interacts with the crowd and puts so much style and fun energy into his routine!

[@derricka.mccormick6548]

It's a lot like skateboarding with the style and tricks

[@SpencerReynenMusic]

Literally flawless… was incredible watching this in person

[@Shoelaces77]

Hoping he will Win Worlds if he compete. Great as always Evan...he never lost his EDGE even after awhile

[@ComeAndHaveFun1876]

Amazing job, Evan !!! You are truly an inspiration to all in the sport including the little kids. Thank you for spending the time to talk to Austin after his performance in this competition and letting him know that it’s OK to make mistakes. You truly are a leader with this group.

[@joshuapike619]

Like my track and field coach said. Work as hard as you can during practice, and have fun at the competition. This man looked like he was having so much fun up there and was just enjoying himself rather than competing

[@teoweihongbryan_72]

Its always breathtaking❤️ to see Evan back competing again, congrats on your win Evan🙏🏻 :)

The last time I check any yoyo`s contest was in 2019, when Gentry Stein was the champ, I thought he was the ceiling of 1A already, until today I sunddenly decided to check the latest champ. Dude this is a whole new level......................

[@legit_yo-yo4842]

So glad to see Evan win!

[@Evergreenroblox1]

What is the music

[@elijahstroot6687]

Yoyo peaked in 2018 when Evan performed his first national championship freestyle. Yoyo now is just Evan vs everyone else.

[@UnderworldgoddessMoon]

Evan you’re back!!!! Glad to see you back in the game bro! ❤

Oh nice I’m glad he’s back around I thought I heard he had retired. Weird a young kid ever thought he needed to retire but that’s todays world. Glad he’s back at it doing what he loves.

[@isaacbragg-gardiner2456]

does the line at 2:30 have a name so I can have any hope of finding a tutorial for it?

[@synergyrevolution2332]

No tutorial but I learned to do it by slowing down one of his videos where he does it. You can probably do the same on this video.

[@kocktailconvo4918]

What is the name of the song at 2:06?

[@patriziabosich1402]

Favotite performance

[@JJJOHNNY7]

He is so good

[@Oofy.]

Dude when I was watching this video… I couldn’t say anything because that combo was so good!

[@rollzst]

What are the best yo-yos in the world? I am not bothered about price

[@YoDeNN]

Too damn clean 🤯

[@easonren3029]

Best combo combining tick tock tricks and techy bangers

[@DaveEditzzz]

A-ayo!!! Your Killin' it my man.

[@yankeeoscarx2]

My favorite freestyle of all time

[@blazedenenra]

0:45 Once he landed the 360 trap I noticed him add a routine he musyt have worked on because he was like "oh you like that" and continued to bust them out Such a good performance. Well deserved. I dodnt hear the music the first time live but this made it better. (Also let me focus more on his tricks...maybe I was too focused to hear the music idk)

[@lilslytherpuff9565]

LES GO!!!!!
