any ideas on how to raise yoyo awarness?

Throw in public. For details, read my guide

Donā€™t shove your love of yoyo down to peopleā€™s throats. If theyā€™re interested, theyā€™ll come to you. Other than that, just do your thing and let the people come to you.

Iā€™m not being pessimistic. Iā€™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. Donā€™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 meā€¦ :wink: Happy April Foolā€™s Day!
