Elite YoYo

First of all, my little brother is the coolest little dude out there! He's only 11, but he has mastered so many more skills than I have at 21. Two of his skills? Origami and yo-yoing. And when I say he's good, I mean he is really really good!

But, how did he learn these skills? Well, that's probably what I admire most about this little dude, he decided he wanted to learn, so he went all out and read books, did research, and watched videos. Youtube videos, specifically. Lots of them. Which brings me to the point of this whole post, my little brother made a Youtube account and posted his first video. "What is it of?" you may ask. Well, it is how to do some yoyo trick!

It's really cute to watch, probably mostly because he is my brother. But, how do I feel about him posting a video of himself on the web? Well, he is only 11....so I feel a little like he is too young to start exposing himself to the big ol' world (but that's probably because he is my brother). However, I do know that he has big ambitions and wants to share his skills and teach others just like he was taught from Youtube. He also wants to start making money from that (Not sure how successful he will be in that avenue, but kudos to him for trying!). The kid has got ambitions, I'll tell you that. And I admire him for pursuing them.

So, in the end, I am proud of my little brother for taking advantage of the media like this. I guess he is the new rising generation that has always used media anyways! In fact, I'll even share his little video with you in case you want to learn how to do a horizontal finger grind!

Good job, little dude!

That's it for now, folks!

  2. This is awesome! My little brother is obsessed with rubix cubes and used youtube to learn how to solve his various cubes. Youtube is an amazing resource for learning new things.

  4. Cool! I go to Youtube often for lots of different kinds of videos, but certainly videos to learn how to do something new. It can be a pretty cool tool!
