Brandon Jackson is a member of Duncan Crew World-Wide and producer of "Throw 2008", a video of some of the best modern yo-yoers in the world. He is currently the National Sales & Marketing Coordinator for Duncan Toys and still lives in his parents basement.
Brandon first started yoyoing in Kindergarten when his recess teacher had lessons using Duncan Buttefly yo-yos. A few years later he picked up a Duncan Glow Imperial at the local drug store and was hooked! During the yo-yo boom of '98/'99 yoyoing became his #1 hobby. At the age of 14 he landed a job at the local "YoMomma" mall kiosk (cart) as a demonstrator. In 2001 he founded the Nashville Tn yo-yo club "Team Chaotix". It was that year that Brandon fell in love with the Duncan Freehand, and attended the World Yo-Yo Contest for the first time. In 2008 he was invited to join the Duncan Crew. And in August of 2009 he was offered the National Sales & Marketing Coordinator position with Duncan Toys. He moved to Middlefield Ohio to accept the position in September of 2009.
In 2009 Brandon released his first yo-yo dvd titled "Throw 2008" which features 18 of the worlds best yo-yo players. Throw 2008 is sold by over 9 retailers, in over 5 countries including Japan, Russia, United Kingdom, Singapore, and the United States.
