[@angusdavidson7010]

I also grew up in Sydney and never met anyone who yoyo'd, so I can imagine how mind blowing it would have been to meet these guys. 🙏

[@SouthPawFPV]

That part about giving the prize packs to other kids to recreate that feeling is the wholesome I needed this morning. I just picked up yoyo as am adult and my dad saw me messing with one and he immediately lit up. Mind you my dad is a rough and tumble automechanic who doesn't smile much lol. It was lime watching a kid pickup his favorite toy after 30 years. That's when I knew I found my calling

Humbled. I'm curious, why do you think that?

[@ahmedhamza3939]

@@thebrandonvu I think the entire community will agree with me , we all needed to know the story behind the man who taught us all we need to know about yoyoing more than anyone else ,and for me specially i took all my knowledge from you so for me it's a really big thing ,the story itself is so inspiring from how your dad inspired you and supported you till you became a national champion the whole story man is something special and beautiful

This entire channel is a gem of the community and Brandon as a person as well.

Brandon you did good in your first competition. Your tricks are so inspiring. I'm also a huge fan of Hiroyuki Suzuki.

[@thebrandonvu]

Aye thanks man! He's the GOAT for sure.

[@vision821k4]

@@thebrandonvu I know this is old but I applied the same logic you did to so many things in life. You always look towards Asia. They can make anything interesting, I swear. I play a lot of Street Fighter and thought one day, who is the best Ryu? Daigo Umehara from Japan. He's like your H.Z. of the yo-yo world for fighting games.

No u are the goat brandon

[@bigledian4008]

I'm 26 and grew up in Sydney. The only experience with advanced yoyoing was a primary school incursion with NEDs yoyo.

This was awesome. Getting to know ur history is like really interesting for me. Glad u made this video. And holy moly ur freestyles back then are so good. Loving the daily upload thing. Thnx for that Brandon

This reminds me of myself back in 2008 my first time Joining the local YoYo Contest in Mall of Asia 😅. I think i was 11 yrs. old that time.

[@jeremykuyah914]

Awesome video, Brandon! Interesting to watch some storytelling here. I started yoyoing when I was 10 (2003), during the Super Yoyo boom. But I stopped shortly after. Bcs no friends to play with. Then 2016, when I found my old yoyo while cleaning my room, I immediately looked up yoyo video. And the first video abt yoyo that I found on youtube, was "the god of yoyo" Hiroyuki Suzuki. Man... That's the point where I thought to myself, "I going to start yoyoing again".

[@thebrandonvu]

Dude I remember the "yoyo god" video. Classic. That video got Connor Seals into it too.

[@adolfolagunaiii]

You are really inspiring to me and I started yoyoing because of you and you're my hero, I bought my first yoyo from offsetyoyo

[@nightshade7808]

OMG Brandon I was rewatching ur old videos and I stumbled on this and you had me dying 🤣

I love how no matter who's throwing there is always one or 2 people cheering! Love the support!

[@ElderSteak5]

Wait…. I used to love Rubik’s cubes like you and now I’m interested in Yo-Yos omg

I can relate so much with you right now, I was really into cubing and now I am just getting into yoyoing.And keep up the good work😃

[@jo3no]

My yoyo hero gave me one of his comp prize yoyos when I attended my first contest ❤

[@OssheLouis]

Man, i had a similar story starting out. There was a yoyo boom in Indo back in 2005, play for a bit, got bored because i was playing based on a trick list (it was super yoyo). Once i was old enough to browsed KZbin in 2007 (under supervision), I saw the 2005 JN 1A freestyle, and that video changed how i view yoyos. Then i did some digging, turns out we also did have group of yoyoers in Indo, the meetups were organised via mailing list LOL.

[@thebrandonvu]

HAHA! Meets organised via mailing list got me XD I remember the Aussie kids had a forum that we all chatted on.

I’ve watched your vids for a while and you have inspired me and I started two months ago

[@rohan.r.pulikkan5391]

Your story is like mine. I started yoyoing when I was 9 that days I don't know any trick but after 1 week I learnt 4 basic tricks and I was bored with this 4 tricks Then after 3 years when I was 12 and one kid ask me how to use this yoyo It was an butterfly shaped responsive yoyo after that found my old yoyo it was rusty but the bearing was still fine and after that I bought an another 2 yoyos but when I was 11 I loved Rubik cube like you . After when I found my yoyo search new tricks in youtube the first video saw was Angelo's urban cradles after that I saw your channel and I am still learning

[@XxsixteenthavenuexX]

okay brandon serving us with a 24 min vlog i see you. ;)

[@thebrandonvu]

Haha basically the cliff notes of 3yrs of competitive yoyoing in one vid )

[@ryanmatson9596]

I liked rubiks cubes and then went to yoyos.

[@katiethompson4997]

Its funny that you mentioned that you learned a lot of yoyo tricks before you met another yoyo player! I have been yo-yoing for 7 years and to this day I have never met a yoyo player in person!!! Yes I have been to one yoyo contest but didn't really talk to anybody because I was shy! Andre Bouley highly influenced my yoyoing career too!!!

[@thebrandonvu]

That's awesome Katie! I know you'll be a hit once you start interacting with the other competitive players.

[@sarangvaidya3728]

There was carnival in the village I lived. It was called 'Saptaah'. Every year, kids from that village sold toys or food in various stalls. And people came to buy it. Me and my brother also took part in it always. My first memory of yoyos is that I selled wooden spintops and toy yoyos there. Just two spintops were sold. I had those yoyos so many years. I now even have one of it. I was like 7-8 years old that time. 2 years ago, when I was 14, I saw tv reality show, there was a guy who bought storage and there was crate of yoyos. To sell them, he called a yoyo player. That player just showed him 'Rock the Baby'. And I was like whoooooaaaaaaaa! Then I bought toy looping yoyo, did some tricks, toy butterfly yoyo, then professional beginner yoyo.

[@CAIDMASTEROFPYRO]

I think everyone learned from Andre lol... I was pretty much the same as you, except i got started because I was on crutches for a year so i went and bought a yomega fireball, learned all the tricks in the book that came with it, then found Andre's videos learned what i could and bought a protostar.. met you and Vu and everyone else at ANYC that was also your first time. I wasn't good enough to enter the 1a contest but I did the sports ladder which ended up being just myself and cookie and he either threw to let me win or genuinely messed up on a really early trick so I took home the win lol, was a good time but stopped yoyoing shortly after that not sure why think i just moved on to a new hobby.
