 Sponsors and Curators
The Museum of Yo-Yo History is a labor of love, and we would not be able to stay up-to-date with exhibits without the support of our sponsors and curators. Big thanks go to One Drop Design and Duncan for supplying us with their latest models, YoYoExpert for their help and support, and to Cody Orr, TotalArtist and YoYoBrothers™ for allowing us to use their collections!
If you're a manufacturer, or just a big collector and you want to help support the Museum drop me at line at chimera@yoyomuseum.com

Established in 1996, Team High Performance (THP) represented yo-yo players who demonstrated mastery of the highest level of yo-yo tricks. In addition, student members must do well academically, and remain in a professional attitude at all THP events.
THP dominated World and National yo-yo competition in the mid to late 90s. THP champions included 1998 World 2-Handed Champion Jennifer Baybrook ("2A" play was not yet a competition category), 1998 U.S. National 2-Handed Champion Alex Garcia, and 1998 U.S. National Single-A Champion Sky Kiyabu.
Team High Performance from November 1999 (accessed April 17, 2024) | |
