this sudden fame came too suddenly, which made yoyo ball popular in the whole school, the whole district and even the whole city. Below, let me introduce it to you!
yoyo ball is a round toy, which consists of two plastic or iron shells with a cotton thread wrapped in the middle. Such a seemingly simple toy uses some principles such as bearing, clutch and lever.
it is not only complicated in structure, but also a huge woolen cloth! From the one-yuan "Game King" to the five-yuan "Super Dragon Ball" and "Prince of Lightning", to the multi-yuan "Firepower Light Wave" and "Firefighter 5", and then from 5 yuan to the more than 1-yuan "Ice Crack", "Flowing Flame" and "Flying Eagle", and even to the "King of the Family" of several hundred yuan.
yoyo ball is not only beautiful in style, but also more exciting and interesting to play.
Recently, it has "re-emerged" and become the most fashionable thing in primary and secondary schools. However, it has been renamed as "Yo Yo". The price has soared to tens of yuan each, and the variety, not to mention, is always coming out with new models.
inside and outside the campus, yo-yos are flying up and down everywhere. Whether it's a little brother in grade 1 or a big brother and buddy in junior high school, almost everyone has one. Even my little sister in kindergarten is carrying one on the way to school, and it is "fashionable" to parade around the city and not play. Adults can't help but feel itchy after reading it. Rachel_9 (net name) said on the forum, "If you see a girl in her twenties who dumped yoyo on the road recently, don't despise it, it's me in nine cases out of ten!"
A parent told the reporter in distress situation that her baby son has been talking about yo-yo for almost three times in the past month or two-
"Buy me another' magic of speed' today. "
" what do you mean by the demand? Oh, I see, it's to the right of the yo-yo. "
When he entered the pot-stewed restaurant, he immediately blurted out, "You can buy two yo-yo ropes." Little kids pop up words such as ball bearings and clutches from time to time, and adults will feel very funny when they listen.
The popularity of yo-yo on campus can't be separated from the help of toy manufacturers and the media, especially the popularity of "Fire Boy King" on Fujian Children's Channel. This youth idol drama, which was shot by the manufacturer, tells the growth story of several teenagers who love yo-yo. The wonderful performance of yo-yo skills in the film has fascinated many children. first hero, the captain of Jianghai team with excellent skills, became the idol of countless children overnight.
the yo-yo swept across the campus, and the happiest thing was the shops around the school. There are not only yo-yos with different varieties and different prices, but also a variety of supporting products-maintenance oil, bearing cleaner, lubricating oil, special gloves, finger sheaths, and clips, bags and hangers for yo-yos ... only you can't think of it, and nothing they can't do.
A small toy makes a big story
If you regard it as an ordinary toy, you really underestimate it. In fact, yo-yo is a very difficult pure skill sport, which requires players to have high accuracy and hand-eye coordination. Abroad, it has long been a competitive sport, and there are international competitions every year. Most of the players are teenagers aged 15 to 25.
In April, after the popular broadcast of "The King of Firepower", Guangdong Audi Toys Company, which owns the famous trademark of "Double Diamond", and Fujian Children's Channel held a yo-yo contest, and set up sub-games in nine districts and cities in the province. Sanming City was the most popular event, and every game attracted 6 to 7 children.
Guangzhou is the best place to carry out this sport in China. Although China is a strong sports country, the competitive level of yo-yo is hard to say. Luo Yicheng, a Sichuan expert, is the only one in China who has participated in the Yo-Yo Asian Games. The country with the highest level of international recognition is Japan, and the top eight in international competitions are often swept by the Japanese. It is said that finding any child on the street is a super expert.
On the basis of "sleep", the yo-yo master can play dozens of tricks, such as magic ball, letting the dog bite, walking the dog stupidly, walking the dog, lightning fast, smart dazzling wind, circling the earth, the Paris Tower, UFO, throwing bricks to attract jade, flying discs all over the sky and so on. The "stepping stone" to be shortlisted for the international competition is to complete 3 required fancy styles in 1 minute. According to experts, the fastest time to play yo-yo is at the age of 12 or 13, with a ball in one hand and a "double-handed somersault" pattern, which can only be learned by children of this age.
Xiao Zheng, who just graduated from Fuzhou Commercial School, is currently doing a publicity performance for a yo-yo manufacturer. At the reporter's request, he showed a little skill-flicking his finger gently, and the ball was freely retracted, spinning back and forth, twitching left and right, up and down, unpredictable and amazing. Xiao Zheng began to practice in 1998, and the middle finger of his right hand has grown thick cocoons, but he insists that he is only a very average player and still far from the top.
The longer the yo-yo sleeps, the more tricks it will play. It is said that the best yo-yo can "sleep" for nearly half an hour, but even if it is improved, the domestic yo-yo can only "sleep" for a few minutes. An industry insider revealed by Xiao Zheng is rather depressing. You can hardly buy yo-yos played by adults in the Mainland-those who can "sleep" for at least 8 minutes and are worth more than RMB 3 yuan. It is no wonder that on some players' BBS, there are often "masters" who help people bring the ball back from abroad.
Duncan Toy Company of the United States has launched a luxury yo-yo worth 4 dollars earlier. This yo-yo is made of magnesium and uses the latest axle and bearing technology. The precision error during processing will not exceed several microns (1 micron equals 1/1 mm), so its balance is very guaranteed. This luxurious yo-yo embodies the high-tech side to the fullest.
Health promotion with advantages and disadvantages
It has been reported in the media that playing yo-yo can treat scapulohumeral periarthritis. But people who have played yo-yo have basically been hit by out-of-control balls, and in serious cases, their bones will even protrude. No matter how top the player is, it is possible to encounter such "anecdotes". As for the middle finger congestion, nail splitting and so on, it is a common minor injury and pain.
Argentina, Chile, the United States, Nicaragua, Honduras and other countries have issued warnings that the rope of yo-yo is at risk of choking children, and it is suggested to ban the sale. At the beginning of 24, the Peruvian government even issued a decree prohibiting the import, processing or sale of yo-yo made in China. They believed that not only the ball rope may cause suffocation, but the yo-yo made of synthetic rubber contains highly toxic and polluting benzene aromatic hydrocarbons and Escherichia coli, which will pose great harm to children's health.
Apart from the safety performance of any kind of toy, what worries schools and parents most is that children indulge in it and neglect their studies.
However, in the interview, we found that most parents, teachers and schools are tolerant and hope that children can play yo-yo well and become a healthy and beneficial sport. Xiaolin of Class 5, No.2 Primary School Attached to Fuzhou said that their class teacher was quite in favor of playing yo-yo, and suggested that the school organize promotion. Some primary schools in Xiamen have also set up yo-yo interest classes, and professional experts are invited to teach them face to face.
Some parents prefer their children to play yo-yo instead of playing games. Because, on the one hand, it can exercise children's hand-eye coordination and willpower, and cultivate the spirit of exploration and innovation, because many fancy styles are created at will after playing to a certain level; Children learn from each other's skills and make friends with the ball, which is helpful to cultivate their social skills and self-expression ability and form a lively, cheerful and cooperative yo-yo.
