PopCast is a crowd-sponsored yo-yo show. Thanks to John Anderson, Taka from Spingear, and the rest of my sponsors on https://www.patreon.com/docpop
In this episode I talked with Jon Gates. Jon helped create the Offstring style of yo-yoing. He was a yo-yo pro who was part of the yo-yo boom that started in 1998, and he was later sponsored by YoYoJam. We talked about his line of YoYoJam tops, the Gator Jam yo-yo, palm stalls, the Gates Catch, and the story behind offstring yo-yoing.
This is a long episode, so buckle up for a lot of great yo-yo tales.
