26 Levels of Yo-Yo Tricks: Easy to Complex | WIRED 

Me who doesn't even own a yoyo watching the video: Okay, so i got to be careful on my timing

"I wanna be a yo yo man" he cried, "make me a yo yo man". But the yo yo master did not answered, he just kept on yoing.

I don’t care what the subject is but when someone is so passionate about it and explains it like this I have so much respect. I just watched a bunch of yo-yo stuff and I don’t even know anything about yo yos

When I was a kid, people who could walk the dog were gods

“I’m a professional yoyoer” that’s how you already know the video is going to be legendary.

can we all appreciate the fact that he never stumbled and said "uuuh" while explaining all those complex tricks

“This yo-yo trick is also known as the ball breaker, because it can break your balls. Lots of mistakes can be made with this one.” He said, smiling awkwardly

I legit was a professional yoyoer in 98-99 (11th place US Nationals in 99, Yomega and Team Losi sponsored), and this stuff is so beyond what we did back then it's incredible.

It's rare to see one of these experts SO comfortable in front of the camera. Very impressive.

It's always fun watching someone who is skilled and genuinely passionate about their craft explain things. It really makes me want to buy a yoyo

Level 300: yo-yo is running for president

Level 26 is so easy, just do a Triangle Dismount to Trapeze to Throwhand Chopstick to Triangle Dismount (via Brent Stole) to a Reverse Hook into Gunslinger Double or Nothing (Yuuki Slack) into Tension-hook to Trapeze into a Bind Breakaway Throw, transitioning into a Throwhand Arm Around the Arm Pop Element to Arm Catch to a Non-throwhand Follow-Through Transition to Chopstick and finally into an Inward Pop to Seasick-like transition to Pop Above Elbow with an Undercount Trapeze and Dismount into a Plastic Whip into a Throwhand Yuuki-Slack to Double or Nothing, followed by a Slack Release to Double Trapeze, Dismount, Bind, Breakaway Throw, into a Yuuki Slack to Tech Chopstick Mount and finally a series of small movement transitions to a wrist mount, ending with a series of small pops to an Eli hop and a Trapeze to Inward Brain Twister Bind with a Horizontal Revolution Behind the Back - Inverted 1.5 Horizontal Catch & 1.5 Mount Downard Follow-through Slack UFO.

This guy is really good at explaining things, Especially to a noob like me.

I wanna say Boingy Boingy that seriously.

The real question is how he convince both of his parents to let him pursuing his dream as a yoyo master.

I used to yo-yo as a kid, and rock the baby and walk the dog were my 2 favorite tricks....here I am 25 years later and had no idea how much more there was to learn

I can’t even get my yo-yo to come back up

Today I learned that there are 500 dollars titanium yoyos...

Level 30. Yoyo cooks dinner Level 35. Yoyo doing my math homework Level 40. Yoyo goes super fast it break the wall Level 45. Yoyo destroy a bulletproof tank Level 50. Yoyo split the ocean Level 100. Yoyo went straight to the moon

Feel like this dude could use a yoyo as a weapon

Level 22: “We are now at a really advanced level now” *Me lost at level 3*

9:00 him purposely messing up and then acting sad is so adorable

Shortcuts: 0:01 Intro 1:01 Downward sleeper 1:51 Walk the dog 2:45 Around the world 3:18 Rock the baby 3:50 Sky rocket 4:38 Bind 6:04 Trapeze 6:41 Brain twister 7:20 Skin the gerbil 8:11 Mach 5 9:24 Eli hop 10:06 Boingy boingy 10:58 Revolutions 11:51 Brent stole 12:37 Yuuki slack 13:33 Black hops 14:50 Follows 15:44 Leg wrap trap 16:25 2.5 hook 17:35 Banana turnhover/Horizontal pinwheel 18:56 UFO 20:01 Zach gormley neck trick 21:56 Eli hop combo 22:57 Neck behind the back leg combo 24:44 Freestyle

"We wont be going into tricks that will use multiple yo-yos" Darn, was hoping to see the invisible man

I don’t know how to make it go up and down more than once why did I watch this

I’ve never seen someone who is both so nerdy and so cool

Imagine doing yoyo tricks with the exact arm movements/wrist movements/ and hand movements without the yoyo so you just look like your casting a ritual

Me watching level 1 to 8: heh, this is actually doable level 9: let me introduce myself

Okay, when aliens come, we just send this guy and impress them real hard.

Level 1 : okay Level 2 : okay Level 3 : wtf how is this level 3 i couldve hurt myself XD

I don’t think I even knew there was a “$500.00 Titanium Yo-Yo”....

Imagine him in a fight with an iron yoyo....

Wired, you should've mentioned this guy's name on the title, he's a sensation!

This man could be a teacher, even if he wasn't already a master-class yo-yo champion.

The slo-mo part of him yo-yoing is very impressive that I realized I missed those parts on normal speed.

Level 8 was my highest. Maybe I'll pick up the ol' metal string ball again one day :P

Looks like amazon will soon receive a mad rush of yo-yo orders.

Level 99 : untangle the yoyo Usually i used the techniques called "hammer it to the ground" followed by "crying and ask parent for new yoyo"

When I was in elementary school (late 90s-early 00s) walking the dog was as pro as anybody had ever gotten. Rocking the baby was an unseen legend.

I know this video is almost two years old, but I just found it, and it is great. Thank you very much for putting it out there. I am working my way through the levels. What a big help. Thank you Harrison.

*Level 27: the Yo-yo controls you.*

‘Freestyling is when you just let the yo-yo do its thing’ he says as he moves his arms like a lunatic

"Professional yo-yo" is now my favorite expression .

This guy doesn’t ever have to fix his yo-yo’s rope manually

Seriously the slo-motion helped sooooo much in seeing how intricate and complex these tricks were. Amazing video !!!!

I'm 32 now and have been yoyo'ing on and off for about 23 years since someone did a yomega presentation when I was in the 4th grade. My collection is respectable and ranges all types of yoyos. I consider myself skilled, but I'm unfamiliar with these slack and laceration types of tricks. You're presentation was humbling, educational, and inspirational. So you may have just given me a bump to tinker a bit more again. Thank you!

This guy is so awesome at both yo-yo and explaining

3:28 he laughed at saying dropped the baby. Which made me laugh, cause you know. Dropped baby

“It’ll spin out and then you’ll be sad”🤣 he’s got that on point haha

One of the most impressive things in this video is how effortlessly he gets the yoyo back

im more impressed by how eloquently he speaks. cool yo-yo tricks are just the cherry on top.

Bored in the house so decided to become a world yo-yo champion next month

Level 27: Undoing the knot you accidentally made by trying a trick you failed miserably.

I went to university with Harrison. He's awesome!

Another very important thing in Yo-Yo-Ing is that you have to know when you’re in a bind. For example, if you do a trick that has a bind in it and you don’t know that the bind is there, the yoyo will come back to your hand without you knowing and you might not be able to catch it in time.

Kid nowadays don’t play yo-yo anymore. This dude would be really popular when i was young at the kid park.

I don't even own a yo-yo and I'm concentrating more on this video than in my studies

Him: I'm a professional yo-yoist Me: You're a WHAT

Just wanna tell you this is one of the best videos on youtube! At least for my personal lvl 6 yo-yoer demographic.

We can all look at this stuff and get confusing in it all, but at the end of the day, he started with nothing and refused to give up. This is the result. All the best Harrison.

hi my name is Geo and i watched almost 30mins of yoyo tricks that i'll never try. have a great day

Grew up yoyoing in secret not thinking it was “cool”. Happy to see it’s gaining attention 👍🏻

8:55 I love how it looks like he really has to concentrate to make it fail 😂

The fact that he can do these tricks is just amazing

when he said "titanium yo-yo" i knew he was serious

Didn't think I would be so interested in Yo-Yos.

A person with good articulation usually is a person worth listening to. There came a point in the video where you were less interested in the tricks, and more interested in the Harrison Lee's clear speech. :D

This man is genius thinking all yo-yo levels

This guy explains things so well. His confidence and delivery is superb.

I love how he`s explaining even the PRO moves in detail like Im actually gonna attempt to do them lol

just watching yoyo videos randomly now because im getting one so hyped up rn

Was up all night when I stumbled upon this video. My tired eyes mistaking read "26 Levels of Yo Yo Ma". Took me longer than I'd like to admit before I caught onto my mistake- So much for being lullabied to sleep by a stringed instrument virtuoso.

Why is this kid a better teacher/explainer than most of the professionally trained and hired one's that I had throughout High school and College?

Ok, all of them are cool, but the Eli hop is definitely the most baller

I love how he compared yo-yo-ing to other sports so that some of us can get a better understanding.(Sorry if i spelled "yoyoing" wrong...i really dont know how to spell it XD)

This is the kind of video I normally watch at 3 am

Could this guy just teach me about everything in life??? He's so good at explaining things

It really shows that someone's a pro when they can explain and provide relatable metaphors.

As we go higher every level, I feel like there couldn't be something harder than that and I'm surprised by more difficult and cool tricks.

I remember Yohans back in the ‘90s when I was into yoyoing. He was a yo-yo god back in the day but he was probably only level 8 on this scale. The standard is insane these days.

This guy is so skilled, he can actually emulate failed attempts as well. Definitely a guru

*Level 27:* "Bungee gum possesses the qualities of both gum and rubber"

I remember doing the 'Walk the dog' trick and misjudging the distance of the floor and ended up smashing the yoyo

balisong: its called a thumb rollover because the knife rolls behind the thumb yoyo: BOINGY BOING.

Did I just watch a 25 minute video about Yo-Yos? Yes, yes I did.

I remember when i was in grade 7 and i had my yo-yo. I was “walking the dog” and i heard a honk. I looked around and saw the person who honked. She did the “call me” hand sign and it made my day how doing yoyo tricks is a major flex

I have endless respect for this man

"Say mint" "Boingy boingy" (It's the boingy boing)

Meanwhile I can't even untangle the yo-yo string...

Was Psyched to see Harrison on this episode hes without a doubt one of the Greats ! I love seeing Yo-Yo brought to a wider audience should any of you in the comments decide to start hit up the YYBST/Talk FB group , tons of people with a common interest and very welcoming to newcomers

This is honestly one of the best videos I’ve ever seen on RU-vid

Now I have a bachelors degree in professional yo-yoing 👨‍🎓

I like that a lot of the techniques sound like STAND names.

I will show this trick to the people if I ever go back in time !

When were Yo-yos last a huge craze? 98? 99? I remember my yo-yo, it had flashing lights. Good times.

This dude is exactly who you’d picture when you hear “professional yo-yoer”

After level 8: "Ok, cool, maybe we'll see atom smasher and shoot the moon?" Level 9: "wtf is 'skin the gerbil' - and how hard is level 20?..."

Hagrid: You're a yo-yo wizard, Harrison.

my favorite thing about videos like this is all the unique slang and names for stuff that develops over the years
