"Back in 1997 I remember THP doing demos at pearl city. I bought a black/red raider that day. I was six, I grew up in Mililani, HI so everybody played yoyo at my school. The boom was huge back then. But like all toys that faded out. Fast forward to 2013. Keith Matsamura Kendama USA pro, showed me a YYF Genesis. After he showed me how to bind my mind had been blown. Yoyos had evolved from responsive to unresponsive, and after that I've been back into it full swing. 5 years strong!!"
