Nice job on week 1 everyone!!! I love that the diversity of participants remains so vast. There are some that could do these tricks in their sleep all the way down to “ I’ve never tied a counterweight on in my life”. Everybody is doing so amazing and it has just been such a full and fun time over these last few months. It’s so nice to have this hang time in the midst of everyone’s hectic lives. Thanks awesome people!!! ---

From personal experience running the TaW thread last year, doing these types of involved weekly posts, from organization logistics to actually learning/recording, it really takes a lot of actual time and mental energy to get it all together. And I think it’s been the same select few people doing these events since February? It’s way more draining than it seems on the surface. So I feel like a delay or break in the event is honestly pretty understandable. So here’s a massive thank you to the organizers for doing something at all, but it also does seem like after May, it might be worth taking a very long and much deserved break if it’s becoming overbearing. Getting hassled about it really doesn’t make running these kind of events any more enjoyable, especially if you’re already a bit burnt out. So I think it’s best to just give the organizers their time and understanding. ---

I’m not complaining. And i respect the work and energy put in to this. But i had not seen an update which is why i asked. If something runs late… that happens some times. No problem with me. ---

Hey Sweet Tea Slingers and Counterweight Crusaders! We loved the sweet sounds we heard from Week 1 of 5A May, let’s keep the rhythm going as we dive deeper into Week 2! So Gimme Three Steps to come up with some new tricks and join the [YoYo Boomer Club](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/yoyo-boomers-club/381535) for another jam-session packed week of counterweight excitement!

I appreciate the excitement. I am working on getting things going. I’ve been fighting some upper respiratory infection and finally went to the doctor for some antibiotics and steroids to clear me up and keep it from becoming more serious. There was also a minor error that we had to clear up yesterday. In the last 4 months we have had several bumps along the road and for the most part have kept them from seeming to serious. I think this is the most visible bump so far. I’ll get us back on track and i thank all of you for the patience with me. ---
