3A Finals - 1st - Hank Freeman - 2013 World Yo-Yo Contest
Hank "Chicken" Freeman is a three-time National and World 3A Champion, and currently the senior member of Duncan Crew World-Wide.
In 2009 he coined his now famous catch phrase "It's cool. No biggie." His first signature yo-yo is the Freebird, made of Delrin and first released at the 2010 World Yo-yo Contest.
His second signature yo-yo is the Triumph, a machined aluminum yo-yo released in 2014. The Triumph was named to represent his three 3A World & National championship titles.
His smooth style and boyish good looks keep him at the forefront of the yo-yo world. He currently resides in Cleveland, Ohio, after a brief stint as an English-speaking tour guide in Prague, Czech Republic.
Alongside Drew Tetz, he founded 44RPM, a start-up specializing in wooden "flatpack" toys, which are made by laser carving from a single piece of wood. In 2015, 44RPM released Freeman's latest signature yo-yo, the Rhythm.
