YoYo Player is a monthly show about the modern history of yoyoing from two of the guys who helped make it. Before the global yoyo boom of the late 90s, two guys in Florida sat in the back of a kite store and dreamed up what would eventually become significant foundational advancements to the art, sport, and promotion of yoyo play. Almost 30 years later they're looking back on where it all started, poking holes in each other recollections, and laughing their asses off about the whole thing.
Mark McBride is the creator of 3A yoyoing, and an early innovator of yoyo video and promotion.
Steve Brown is the creator of 5A yoyoing, an early innovator of yoyo tricks and promotion, and currently an organizer of the World YoYo Contest.
