Goodbye Lost


I feel like someone I cared about deeply has died, but I'm happy because I know they're in a better place and they lived a good life. Goodbye Lost, we'll miss you.

Kenny "K-Strass" Strasser - The Yo-Yo Master


'Yo-Yo Champion' K-Strass Punks TV Stations | npr

He's more "no-yo" than yo-yo.
