Yo- So I was gonna post this as the YYBC account but I haven’t unpacked enough after vacation to get to my computer so this’ll do for a warm up. We got till the 8th to get in tip top looping shape. With a bunch of amazing special guests and prizes and challenges from just learning to loop to contest ready tricks we got it all and more. So with that I’ll dump the better writing of our good friend @Son-of-Morris below and add a list of tutorials to get things warmed up. ![IMG_5627](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/0/d/b0d48192398093357f3e9252fc97acf647682bf8.jpeg) **2A APRIL IS HERE!** Get ready to dive into the lore books of yo-yo mastery with 2A April!
