Holy Moses look at him go! Local Tender Loving Empire enthusiast and yo-yo dynamo, Clifton B, made this rad video last week. Clifton's moves will wow you as he defies gravity and rewrites the laws of physics all whilst listening to some new Boy Eats Drum Machine and sporting his TLE brand "PDX" shirt. This video is crazy. 10,000 thanks to Clifton for representing so hard.
