This sudden fame came too suddenly, making yo-yo popular in the whole school, the whole district and even the whole city. Next, let me introduce you!
Yoyo ball is a round toy, which consists of two plastic or iron shells with a cotton thread in the middle. Such a seemingly simple toy uses some principles such as bearings, clutches and levers.
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 the Prince of Lightning, to the diversified Firepower Light Wave and Fireman 5, and then from 50 yuan to the 100 multi-yuan Ice Crack, Flaming Fire and Flying Eagle, even to families with several hundred yuan.
Yoyo ball is not only beautiful in style, but also more exciting and interesting to play.
These days, it has made a "comeback" and is invincible, becoming the most fashionable thing in primary and secondary schools. However, it has been renamed "Yo Yo". The price has soared to tens of yuan each, not to mention the variety, and new models are always available.
Yo-yos are everywhere inside and outside the campus. Almost everyone has one, whether he is a little brother in grade/kloc-0 or a big brother in junior high school. Even my little sister in kindergarten is carrying a baby on her way to school. It is "fashionable" to parade in the city without playing. Adults can't help itching after reading it. Rachel_09 (net name) said on the forum, "If you see a girl in her twenties dumped yoyo on the road recently, don't despise it. Nine times out of ten, it's me!"
A parent told reporters in distress situation that in the past two months, her precious son has never left the yo-yo for almost three words-
"Buy me another' Magic of Speed' today."
"Requirements, how to write? Oh, I see, it's on the right of the yo-yo. "
As soon as he entered the pot-stewed restaurant, he blurted out, "You can buy two long ropes." Children pop up words like ball bearings and clutches from time to time, and adults will find it very funny.
Yo-yo is popular on campus, which is inseparable from the help of toy manufacturers and the media, especially the popularity of Fujian children's channel "Fire King". This youth idol drama 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 fascinated many children. The first hero, the skillful captain of Jianghai Team, became the idol of countless children overnight.
Yo-yos swept across the campus, and the happiest thing was the shops around the school. There are not only yo-yos with different varieties and prices, but also various supporting products-maintenance oil, bearing cleaner, lubricating oil, special gloves and finger covers, as well as clips, bags and clothes hangers for yo-yos ... only you can't think of it, and there is nothing they can't do.
Small toys make great articles.
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 high accuracy and hand-eye coordination of players. It has long been a competitive sport abroad, and there are international competitions every year. Most players are teenagers aged 15 to 25.
In April, after the hit of "Firepower Junior King", Guangdong Audi Toy Company, which owns the famous trademark of "Double Diamond", and Fujian Children's Channel "Strike while the Iron is Hot" held a yo-yo contest, and set up sub-competitions in 9 districts and cities in the province. Sanming is the most popular activity, and every competition attracts 600 to 700 children.
Guangzhou is the best place to carry out this sport in China. Although China is a sports power, the level of yo-yo is hard to say. Luo Yicheng, a Sichuan expert, is the only athlete in China who participated in the Yo-Yo Asian Games. The country with the highest international recognition is Japan, and the top eight international competitions are often swept by the Japanese. It is said that any child found in the street is a super expert.
On the basis of "sleep", yo-yo masters can play magic balls, let dogs bite, walk dogs clumsily, play with lightning, dazzle the wind, circle the earth, the Paris Tower, UFO, throw bricks to attract jade, flying saucers and so on. The "stepping stone" to enter the international competition is to complete 30 required fancy styles in 1 minute. According to experts, the fastest time to play yo-yo is 12 and 13 years old. Only children of this age can learn the mode of holding the ball in one hand and doing somersaults in the other.
Zheng Xiao, who just graduated from Fuzhou Commercial School, is currently doing a publicity performance for a yo-yo manufacturer. At the request of the reporter, he showed a little skill-the ball retracts freely with a flick of his finger, rotates back and forth, twitches left and right, jumps up and down, unpredictable and amazing. Zheng Xiao began to practice on 1998, and a thick cocoon had grown on the middle finger of his right hand, but he insisted that he was just an ordinary master and was still far from the peak.
Because the longer the yo-yo sleeps, the more tricks it plays. 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 insider revealed by Zheng Xiao was quite depressed. You can hardly buy yo-yos played by adults in the mainland-those yo-yos that can "sleep" for at least 8 minutes and cost more than 300 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 earlier launched a luxury yo-yo worth $400. This yo-yo is made of magnesium and adopts the latest axle and bearing technology. The precision error in the processing process will not exceed a few microns (1 micron is equal to11000 mm), so its balance is very guaranteed. This luxurious yo-yo embodies the high-tech side to the fullest.
Seek advantages and avoid disadvantages to promote health.
There have been media reports that playing yo-yo can treat scapulohumeral periarthritis. However, people who have played yo-yo have basically been hit by out-of-control balls, and even their bones will protrude in serious cases. No matter how top players, it is possible to encounter such "anecdotes". As for the congestion of the middle finger and the split nails, they are all common minor injuries and pains.
Argentina, Chile, the United States, Nicaragua, Honduras and other countries have issued warnings, saying that the long rope has the risk of strangling children's throats, and it is recommended to ban the sale. At the beginning of 2004, the Peruvian government even issued a decree prohibiting the import, processing or sale of yo-yo made in China. They believe 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 cause great harm to children's health.
Apart from the safety performance of any kind of toys, what worries schools and parents most is that children indulge in them and neglect their studies.
However, in the interview, it was 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 Affiliated to Fuzhou said that their class teacher was quite in favor of playing yo-yo, and suggested that the school organize promotion. Some elementary schools in Xiamen have also set up yo-yo interest classes, which are taught face to face by professional experts.
Some parents prefer their children to play yo-yo rather than 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 extent; Children learn skills from each other and make friends with the ball, which helps to cultivate their social skills and self-expression ability and form a lively, cheerful and cooperative yo-yo.
