Have you guys ever tried to get people to yo-yo? I have, I just practice when I’m bored and practice some hard tricks that I can barely do but succeed. People just walk by and say “Show-Off”. I yo-yo to get people to start yo-yoing and hopefully start the next yo-yo boom. Have you guys ever tried anything? ---

I just yoyo. I dont care about showing anyone, I just yoyo for fun. Whatever people say doesnt dishearten me, and usually I get positive feedback. I dont try to make them yoyo, but if they have any questions I usually answer them. Really, thats all I do. ---

This is what I tell people… When you first start and your doing stuff like boing E boing and matrix and spirit bomb tricks… People often refer to u as a nerd…or having to much time on your hands. Yet once you gone to a couple of states and won a few championships and got a few yo-yos for free and start doing whips variations and regens and stalls…people say it’s dope. I have gotten a few people to yo-yo… MOst of them make it into my videos and no longer yo-yo- now. but! I got them to start. ~Yin ---

I have gotten some people to yo and have taught them but: 1st person: quitted learning from because she wanted to learn Double or nothing right off the bat. Her sleeper, today, still needs a lot of work. She thinks she’s better than me. 2nd person: I taught him. Quitted a couple of days later because I taught him 0A, not 1A and people made fun of him. 3rd: Critizises my yo-yos and say that they suck because they are not tug responsive. Learns by himself, uses a clutch, has not learned trapeze after half a year. 4th: My friend got down his trapeze, but because he has a Duncan Butterfly the tricks are limited. Planning on getting him a Journey for his B-Day. Apparently peer pressure plays a key role in people not yo-yoing. ---

Too true, many quit because of others.
