I've never felt more proud of a stranger in my life. I love that he's his own hype man.
Congrats, Evan! You're amazing.
Thanks!!!! Hype hype hype hahaha
Actual rockstar... fuar congrats Evan!!!!
I never thought Yoyoing could be this intense
If you know how our scoring system works, yeah. Intense. xD
Veridian I remember saying that back in '99 when I started learning advanced stuff, that's probably intermediate nowadays lol.
@@moonmanvic I got into yoyoing in 1998, and I remember watching the world yoyo competition in 1999 and was blown away by all the tricks they could do. Back the doing double shoot the moons, and punching bags, and reverse ones was like pro level. Along with all the different string tricks they did, I learned a lot like back then, but holy shit, I wouldn't have held a candle to what they do now lol. And I considered myself almost on a pro level back then lol
But for back in 1999 all the tricks I actually could do, was up to par, now it's just insane lol. Crazy how far they've taken it, makes me wanna buy a yoyo again, memories
I want to visit an old friend today I met him roughly 6 years ago. Well I see he had a yo-yo, so I pick it up. Well I flick my wrist, the yo-yo doesn’t return to my hand. I was like yo wtf ??? He takes it from me and begins this sorcery. I just ordered myself a Yo-Yo... I’m gonna get all the bitches now...
That's the first time I got chills for a yoyo routine. Great job.
Raymond Trabulsy the song certainly helps 😃
totally!
bruh i still fucking cry over this shit. idk its the music and his energy
@@roebro.44 - that grin on his face the entire time, you can tell he is truly passionate. It's fantastic! Best yoyo performance ive ever seen.
Not my first but first in about 18 years.
10/10 Performance
I don't think there's any other player who really lives the moment on stage like Evan
This dude really playing the guitar with a toy
Jason Win you just made a new style. 6A. Six strings. One yoyo.
Good choice on strategically cutting the song - it's a verrrrrry looooong sooooong. He made good cuts to a smooth buildup, slamming guitar craziness and then into the finish.
ChumblesMumbles you routines are only 3 mins long Max or else you could get disqualified
Not going to let my boss hold me back from my rockstar dreams anymore. Telling me I cant YoYo at work. I'm quitting my job.
we will watch your career with great interest
congrats
GG
That’s what I love
Ur boss SUCKS
He looks like he’s having the time of his life. Aside for the actual technique and skill, he somehow has a smile on his face and finesses the crowd the entire time. Unbelievable.
2:02 guitar face in yoyo routine
LMAO this was so dope honestly
3 years later and this shit still hits diff
Bro i miss you
Damn...I just learned a lot about the world. Never thought watching a full grown man with a yoyo could be this entertaining and awesome. Cheers to this guy! Flawless performance...I cant imagine the actual dedication that must take/have took him. Crazy.
JonnyUnderrated hes still like 21 so but he was yoyoing from like a very very young age
Evan have been yoyoing since he was one year old and his dad have been organizing yoyo event for just as long
LETS GOOOOOO
Polo Garbkamol asia champion 2018 😍
and he just created an ad-lib
I had no idea this was a thing but im really glad it is
Nicholas Barnhardt what? yoyo competition?
Nicholas Barnhardt your dead to me go by a yoyo and have fun because I have competed before
YOYO boi1 why u gotta THROW in that u competed?😂
@@YappingYeti weird flex but okay
The best part is how much he is enyoing himself. It brings so much to the performamce. 😊
Holy.....cow! I never would have thought that a yo-yo performance could be so rock 'n' roll, that was sick. Loved the buildup for the solo at 1:20. Great job man. If I were a rock band I would hire you for our live performances
Might be the best, most energetic and fun routine ever. Congrats Evan!!
seeing those green triangle suicides in person.. really got me fricked up
Angelo Aguirre hey angelo
That’s some shizzzz
evan you massive legend
He must be hacking
@@Joanyan ikr he's such a hacker
Evan Nagao is a Legendary 1A yoyo Competitor
easily the best freestyle ever
i should start counting every single time i visit this video and tear up, at least once a month
Probably the best freestyle in yoyo history
I can't believe that I stopped yoyoing for 5 years and missed this gem of a routine. Absolutely incredible. He knew his routine so well.
This is my favorite freestyle and player of all time. I wish the next nationals would be in Chicago because that’s where I live.
Banger after Banger after Banger... woooo
Elisha Long part of my secret is nofap ;P
Evan Nagao Haha bro 100%, that's awesome. Good to see you
This routine lives to be a "free bird" to this day
I just remember where I recognize the name. His dad and Team High Performance were my absolute role models for a while as a kid. I’d go to their yo-yo classes weekly. Evan was a tiny prodigy. I just read that he quit at 6 because he was bored lol. Pretty awesome to see such a passionate performance and that he won World’s before retiring.
Glad he lived up to what he said he would do! Such an unexpected, amazing performance that totally deserved to win. Congrats Evan on your victory!!!
You can tell this dude was really enjoying his time! Damn man! Congrats
how did I end up here lol
would come back though and watch it again
One of the best 1a freestyle of all time
1:38 I'm cryin
That's probably the hardest trick in the entire performance, if he messes that routine the yo-yo gets tangled up and it screws him for good, had he failed he would have lost but seeing it done, damn, he made it look easy, really good job.
It's just a few Brent stoles... Done in the most difficult possible way, A M A Z I N G
Let's go!!!!
Evan I know you probably won't see this but this is one of the things I like to watch when I'm a little down just to make myself feel better. You are an absolute legend and a real life rockstar. This has to be one of the biggest flexes of all time. Much love bro.
1:58 dude youre fucking unreal
DogBeef oh shit waddup dogbeef
Ay thanks DogBeef!
Evan Nagao ❤🙏
I never thought I would enjoy watching a yoyo competition but I was in trance during the whole time. So much energy!

He just Introduced my one of my all time favorite bands to a whole new audience, Lynyrd Skynyrd!! I've never watched a yo-yo competition before, but between the music and your performance, I was tearing up. nice work!!
Nice you had fun with it!!
This was a awesome routine. Evan is a incredible player

That was a beautiful performance and the music choice was something we don't see today very often and he did such a good job using it in this routine, He definitely deserved that win, congratulations Evan that was amazing!!
Great job Evan, best three minute freestyle ever!
What is this free style!! It is so amazing!!
Started off "hmm. He's OK." then the hype kicked in. Good job man!
Nixxen bet you could do better the tricks in the beginning are actually harder

Even 2 years later he looks like the showstopper!
That was amazing dude
Wow Evan Nagao the King of YoYo! Congratulations you truly deserve it!
Straight goosebumps. That was epic
I wish i was this passionate about anything. Awesome performance.
I know nothing about yo-yo but the title of the reddit post brought me here. I watched and was smiling the entire time because it just looked like fun. Great performance!
When I heard free bird I knew what was coming. HOLY FFFFFF! Evan, hats off for you. This for me marks a before and an after. Congrats!
Congrats Evan. Loved the show.
Evan:king of the crowd
Amazing routine Evan!! Seriously sick...bring it to worlds and I'm sure you will win!! 😎
So much joy, so entertaning, that was incredible.
Evan: playing 1:58
Entire yoyo scoring system: ArE wE a JokE tO yOU ?
From slow mo to crazy speed! Love it!
I hope he wins worlds
This exact freestyle should win worlds if the evals are scored correctly
GOAT performance, but i think other players at WYYC can nail technical points more than this fs
Hisyam Ramdan yeah, we can all root that Evan wins worlds, but damn there are some seriously insane yoyoers outside of the U.S..
#battleforshanghai
Evan Nagao dude you have a great chance just try to hit your tricks well enough
That was legitimately amazing
Didn't know this existed, but your performance was amazing dude!
I have been without yoying for maybe 2 years so far and this dude just made me to return right away. :') amazing. (Sorry for my English, not my native language) :p
Crazy, Evan.
From Mexico :)
I knew something was going on at the Athenaeum, but i didn't know it was a national competition! I walked past these some of these folks on my way home a couple of days ago
This does put a smile on my face
He just can’t stop outdoing himself!! Incredible man
Evan's always the one who gets the standing ovation. Before it was the floor tricks; now it's just that he's the best.
Mind blowing and for the first time a yoyoer realy enjoying himself on stage instead of boring straight face!
Totally awesome show!
Well done dude, this is sick
He's doing it sideways!
EpicDonutDude it's called horizontal it's not very hard
its obviously a script
Dua
@@prod.eenigma it's is
@@prod.eenigma it is
This was so fucking HYPE
I am lying in my bed at 3 am, and i wanna be there, in the crowd, so much right now.
Insane skills. Congrats, man.
Officially number 1 on my list as all time best performance. For US National.
wow! crazy technical skill and entertaining performance. niice!
This shit hype af dawg. First, JeonDDing wins his first tourney and now this? Goddamn what a great start to a week
This should be known in all time the only context in which “Free Bird” may be requested - with epic yoyo accompaniment; I had almost expected the finale in flames like an intensely performed Hendrix’s guitar
Incredible skill and dedication!
He brings the fun back into competitive yoyoing
Super and amazing freestyle!
this is what i look like untangling my headphones after putting them in my pocket for 3 seconds... only i'm not smiling
I just watched a man guitar solo with a yo-yo and I've never felt more astonished in my life. Way to go!
That was INSANE wtfff
THIS IS FUCKIN LEGENDARY
I was screaming while and rooting for him!!!
