Recap on the 20th Yo Down Down - New Mexico’s longest running free Yo-Yo contest - Special Thanks to Duncan Toys, Yomega and YoYoExpert for the support.

Very cool event!! It’s awesome a fixed axle wizard like you is sustaining an event in this crazy unresponsive world we live in today. It’s a thankless job to stage an event like this, but I thank you. ---
