A Lifelong Love of Yo-Yoing | Baton Rouge News
Description
At ten, Jim E. Johnson grabbed a yo-yo—and seventy years later, he’s still spinning, world champion, tattooed “Yo-Yo Master,” and owner of a thousand-plus yo-yos. From a TV show win to Navy struggles with dyslexia, he turned setbacks into triumphs, learning to read at 30 and diving into his passion with relentless practice. By 1990, he went pro, touring the globe, performing beside volcanoes, and now judges world championships while mentoring kids. His story proves: some passions don’t fade—they just keep spinning.
