Yo-Yo Prodigy

The yo-yo is said to have been originated in the Philippines as a weapon used for hunting.  The hunter would tie a cord 20-feet in length to throw at wild animals.  Over time, the contraption has become a beloved toy favored by many.  First made popular in the 1920s, yo-yoing is still very much enjoyed by both children and adults.Whatever the case, the yo-yo has been a childhood staple for years and years to come.  

This is just a quick post that I wanted to share with all of you.  I recently came across this little boy who has been playing and practicing the lost art of Yo-Yo since the day he was born.  Check out his impressive skills on the yo.

brings me back.
