“History” is a look at one of 1A’s most creative players, Jason Lee. For over 12 years, Jason has been at the forefront of modern-day yoyoing. “History” demonstrates several of his older tricks from yesteryear, as well as explores contemporary combo-construction and avant-garde concepts such as Wigglers, Figure 8’s, Locking, and 3D plane-breaking.
