Ok stop laughing, yes, there is a yo-yo world championship just like theres a world championship for every other pass-time most people gave up in their early teens.

I remember a long summer in the late 80’s where coca-cola, sprite and fanta branded yo-yo’s were all the rage, although I got a cheap rate copy, I managed to sucessfully make it go up and down a few times, could sort of do ‘walking the dog’ and used to regularly hit myself in the eye while trying to ‘rock the baby’. Thats about where my involvement with spinning things on strings ended, but if only i’d have carried on, I might have been as good as these people.
