any ideas on how to raise yoyo awarness?

Throw in public. For details, read my guide

Don’t shove your love of yoyo down to people’s throats. If they’re interested, they’ll come to you. Other than that, just do your thing and let the people come to you.

I’m not being pessimistic. I’m realistic.

I have also thought about how to do this. sometimes I wish more people realized how awesome it is, and I also wish more people were aware that a yoyo is so much more more than just a toy. Something I do is show kids in my neighborhood tricks, teach them tricks and they go show there friends. One of the older-ish kids got so into it that he almost started a club at his elementary school, and he got a lot of other little kids into it. So I guess the best way that I have found to raise awareness is to just show people. Don’t try to force there interest though. Most people WILL find it interesting, so there is no need to try and MAKE people be interested in it.

Sounds like a new trick to me… :wink: Happy April Fool’s Day!
