Bill de Boisblanc is a U.S. National Grand Master who was sponsored by YoYoJam and has been throwing a yo-yo and winning contests since the early 1950s.
In the 1970s, Bill was a featured player in Helane Zeiger's book World on a String and more recently was featured in the video "Book of Cool". He is a three-time World Champion (1994, '95, and '97) and three-time U.S. National Champion (1994, '95, and '96). Bill is a favorite among the younger yo-yoers due to the fact that he strives to keep up with the current style. He also has a number of YoYoJam signature series yo-yos, such as the B de B Freestyle, the VeXed and the Sunset Trajectory series, and is a member of Team YoYoJam. In addition to all his other accomplishments, he holds multiple current open division world records: Two Handed Shoot the Moon (1057), Milk the Cow (562), and Inside Loops (540). Bill still finds the time to work on rules for the U.S. National and World Yo-Yo Contests and to judge many yo-yo contests.
