Justin Dauer - 1st Place - 1A Final - 2024 US Nationals - Presented by Yoyo Contest Central

[@thebrandonvu]

The force is strong with this one

[@EvanNagao]

Deserved.

[@ThomasThrowsYoYos]

I always knew Justin was champ material. My words cannot express how happy I am for him. He is a great competitor and an amazing friend. Love you, Justin!

[@HunterYoyo]

Justin has come so far! Loved the routine

[@wav6hamad]

Zach , Gentry , Evan all became world champions who won US nationals within the last 10 years And I wait for the day Justin Dauer does it

[@scottjohnston1411]

As far as I'm concerned, that choreography was more entertaining than the actual Duel of Fates in the prequels. Phenomenal performance.

[@modularmoon]

I gotta be honest, I was really on the fence about clicking this link. Thought yeah maybe I'll just skip the yo-yo stuff, -but man...Im glad I did. This dude is awesome. What a stellar performance.

[@micahwingell]

I have been typing and rewriting a comment while watching this for the past like 20 minutes just watching this on repeat talking about how awesome this is

[@omgitsoop]

This is something Hank Hill would watch from the audience, expecting shame, hear the audience cheering, and suddenly... he feels pride in his boy

[@ShuBongo]

Almost started crying during the freestyle. So amazing to be there and see this phenomenal performance:) Congrats Justin :))

[@vacumecleanerman]

Daaaaannngggg 🔥

[@TheTwinDragonSlayers]

1:53 - 2:15 fav part! Way to go Justin!

[@user-bi7fp4zi2c]

incredible musicality and impeccable yoyoing

[@ShepardOfficial]

That opener was so perfect. Throwing when the lightsaber sound effect hits and binding when the retract sound plays. So perfect. This is what Gentry is always trying to stress. Those tricks were already awesome, but when presented the right way, it can hit so much harder than normal. And to complete the circle, it's so cool knowing that the first time I saw Justin was in a video where he was imitating being Gentry 😂 dude was due for a win, so hats off! Congrats my man you deserve it 💯

[@chair805]

feeling lucky to have witnessed this live

[@HotarusLens]

I'm so glad I got to see that in person, it was spectacular. It almost felt like he was using the force to move his yoyo. Justin did an AMAZING job, congrats!

[@bheinz63]

This was a truly spectacular year all around, and it's an honor to film and present such an iconic performance. Justin has crafted a brilliant routine with next level showmanship, wielding the power to bring about the next evolution of competitive yoyoing, and I’m excited to see what’s next. Wouldn’t have been possible without all your help and hard work “A” Camera Operator (WYYC17, Nats18,23,24) @bjpmurphy and there are many others to thank for making this possible. Thanks y’all ❤

Deserved, I can’t stress this enough.

[@ndetavykp]

justin is my favorite

[@Yoyojoe_14]

A new side of Justin 🤔😳🫡

[@bizophone]

Very impressive, I think this guy has potential. He could become the next K-Strass some day.

[@turnersteafan1]

Duncan should give him his own signature yoyo. He has deserved it for a while now.

[@ConnorSeals]

He is using his signature yoyo in this freestyle. It’s a prototype and will release soon

[@NinoMalolos]

​@@ConnorSealsdid you compete too

[@ConnorSeals]

@@NinoMalolosno but my identical twin brother of the same name did.

[@bryanbell9081]

@@ConnorSeals That's sick. I thought his yoyo looked unfamiliar. Yo your identical twin brother is a beast!!! He deserves his own Motive yoyo!

[@NinoMalolos]

@@ConnorSeals how bro your brother is good too and why didn't you compete

[@SpencerReynenMusic]

The Dauer era of contest domination has just begun baby

[@bobbydauer5712]

Hells yes!

[@hughharrison969]

Justin recently has done a really phenomenal job at making some of the most tasteful yet meta friendly tricks of the post stole era. I’m really glad that a Justin and his trick-set are being rewarded on this big of a stage. This makes me truly hopeful for the future of competitive Yoyo.

[@hamdogcs]
