The following facts came from The Fact Site.

6th June – Yo-Yo Day.

The humble yo-yo can trace its roots back to ancient Greece; we know this because of a number of vases and plates that can be found with pictures of children playing with them.

But, enough about the peculiar record keeping of the ancient Greeks, and onto the 1920’s, when the modern yo-yo (the kind you can do tricks with) was designed by Pedro Flores.

Flores was a Filipino immigrant who redesigned the humble “bandalore” into a more trick friendly “yo-yo”.

Thanks to him you can go “around the world” without moving an inch. Celebrate by trying out a trick, or, failing that, watching the pros online.
