My best contest memory so far was in 2013 redondo yoyo contest when I won my first sport ladder contest. Not to mention it was my first contest but it was pretty cool knowing when went home that I actually was worth something at a contest. Soooooo what’s yours ??? ??? ---

Never been to one. I know NYC has a yoyo club, but I’ve never been confident enough to participate. I’m confident with my skills, just not confident with my social skills, haha. Otherwise I’ve never been good enough at anything to place in competition. I’ve entered a lot in my lifetime but usually come near last place. One time I placed 3rd in a Nintendo (NES) tournament against 3000 other people, though. The prize was a lame 50 dollars, haha. ---

Zammy ickler calling me up to stage with a towel in my hands. He stood there expectantly as I made by way up the stairs set in the middle of the Mall of America. His smooth, beautiful frame turned to me once more as he screamed"no I’m not ready! Towel boy!" My hands began to shake as I was now on stage, wiping the sweat from Zammy’s brow… And then he made it to finals. All because of me. His towel boy ---
