> [@AngryGumball](#): > > So, compared to last year’s event, can I expect this one to be different, as in probably a larger event, more yoyoers, and more vendors? I’m looking forward to this Saturday, going to be a fun bike ride up to the park. I’m traveling from the East Bay, taking BART over then taking the bike up the rest of the way. This year’s BAC will be just as great as last year’s. The big difference is there will be finals in all 5 divisions, and there will be more venders. Cool to hear that you’re biking it from BART! Don’t forget that it’s in Golden Gate Park this year and not Washington Square Park 🙂 > [@MattB](#): > > 60 signed up for 1A as of 5/16!!! The next registrants update is coming soon! -Stu ---

Last year I did the bike thing from Embarcadero, was a fun ride. This year, I have a slightly longer ride but think it’ll work out. I’m getting off at Civic Center Bart, and going to use Haight St to get up to Golden Gate. Since I haven’t gone up Haight before, anyone recall how the hills are/how hilly it is? In the mean time I’m excited. I’ve got somewhat of a shopping list put together as to what throws I’m going to want to pick up, string, etc. Now to figure out what yoyos to take with me up there. ---

Wow, that was a lot of fun. I got to meet a bunch of people and see some amazing freestyles. Chris of Studio 42 did a great job with the sound. Kyle Derry did a great job playing for YYSL - Hey man, thanks for taking a couple of days off school to come all the way out from NY to hang out at the “Lab” and share your talent. Kyle and I got to try out Matt Leanse’s prototype yoyo (the name is to be finalized later, but the company is Moment Yoyos). It’s a super nice balance of light and fast with excellent stability and control. It didn’t seem like Kyle wanted to put it down. ---

It was a pretty nice day and a long weekend. I also (briefly) popped by to say hi to Studio42 as well as meeting Andre Boulay (and getting him to sign my Dark Magic 🙂 ) and JD. I’m not sure if it was YYF’s Ben that I was talking to about the B-grade Avant Gard I purchased or talking about the One Star but I think I may have talked to him as well, don’t quite remember. The ride up there was a killer on the legs and ended up walking up the steep slopes of Haight. I also got the pleasures of idiot drivers on the road not watching out for cyclists so they got a quick blast of my bike’s 115db airhorn 🙂 Stopped them dead in their tracks. In the end, it was well worth it just to be out for the day and remotivating myself to learn new stuff with yoyoing. Just prior, I had myself stuck in a rut and no motivation/inspiration to do new tricks and found myself doing the same tricks. Thanks to the event - watching competitors, checking out the YYE Trick Contest, and just watching other spectators, I’ve been carrying a yoyo with me all day yesterday and today and messing around during any open opportunity. And before I knew it, the day was over and was time to start heading back across to my side of the bay. Honestly, my ride home seemed to take longer than getting up to Golden Gate Park. ---
