Hi Gentry,

My name is Austin, I’m 10 and just started yoyoing. Do you have any advice? And, what is it like at a big competition?

I’m a big fan of yours, so my dad let me use his account to ask my questions.

Austin

Learn as many tricks as possible! The more you can learn the better. The feeling of being on stage is amazing, especially if you have put in enough practice to be confident in what you are presenting.

Have fun Austin!
