Shinjo Rancho Palos Verdes, CA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1 Oct 3, 2008 He's good with the yoyo but what does that bring you in life? He should spend more time hitting the books instead of playing with a yoyo. Many kids are great at video games but what does that bring them in life?
MediaBlitz Los Angeles, CA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #2 Oct 3, 2008 Another Manhattan Beach yo-yo champ like Dewey Weber was years ago!! Good luck Grant!!! Shinjo, let a 13 year old be a normal 13 year old. You will only blame yourlsef when your kids grow up to be recluses.
Shinjo is jealous United States	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #3 Oct 3, 2008 According to the article he gets good grades. He is a kid, so having fun is the most important thing. He has a sponser so that brings him money as well as more yoyos. By the way, there have been studies that say many fighter pilots are better because of video games. I think that is his tricks a pretty cool and I am going to you tube to check out some more.
Tricia Pomona, CA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #4 Oct 3, 2008 Grant gets good grades, earns his own money, plays the piano and has a black belt in tae kwon do. He's found a hobby that he loves, has fun with and is good at. Sounds like an exceptionally well-rounded kid to me.
Former South Bay Resident Chico, CA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #5 Oct 3, 2008 He's going to like Chico. It's a great town for the yo-yo championship and the National Yo-Yo Museum is located in this Northern California town.
