2A APRIL! LET’S GOOOOOO!
Get Ready to Loop into the Lore Books with 2A April!
Are you ready to kick off April in style with the most mind-blowing, finger-flipping, two-handed yo-yo extravaganza yet?!
People thought we were done after FAF, they believed it couldn’t get crazier than MRM…. Well get ready to double up the fun and double down on the hype because it’s time for 2a April with the YoYo Boomer Club!
We’re extending our hands like a Stretch Armstrong and sending the call to our Energetic Enthusiasts and Looping Legends! We have the ultimate double-handed yo-yo challenges and gravity defying tricks prepared!
Throughout the entire month of April, we’re challenging you to master the mayhem and level up your yo-yo game like never before. From basic loops to advanced combos, it’s time to show off your skills and prove that you’ve got what it takes. We’ve got a heck of a trick ladder prepared and lots of fun prizes to give away!
Fans of Tom Kuhn? Well we don’t have those. Interested in secret upcoming YYBC Looper prototypes? That doesn’t exist yet. BUT stay tuned to Shoot the Moon to glory with one-of-a-kind surprises that’ll double your pleasure and double your fun.
All the best things come in pairs, Batman and Robin, Wayne and Garth, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito, Gollum and the Ring……and the most important of all, our sweet sweet prizes.
We made it out of March battered and bruised, you finally thought you were safe. Thought you could catch a break after FAF and MRM? Think again! Loop-a-Palooza starts today! There’s something for everyone to enjoy and learn; plus a chance to win amazing swag!
(Or if you’re two-throw challenged, check out the Merch!)
So stand up, grab your 720’s, your Hornets, your Imperials with the 20 year old string on them, and get ready! It’s double the excitement, double the hype, and double the fun with the YoYo Bommer Club!
