Tessa has been kind of dormant recently in the yoyo community and hasn’t been competing much. I believe it’s to focus on her band: Carsick.

Review some of the older Ann Connolly references for a clue (if they haven’t been deleted). Testosterone runs high on yoyo forums.

This is very true. About 90% or more people here are male

100% stoked for Betty. And a really cool day for yoyoing that was too long coming.
And some pretty recent as well.
If yoyoing wants to encourage female throwers, the first thing we have to do is stop discouraging them. No more locker-room type comments about bodies or appearance.
We should be supporting our fellow yoyoers of any and every gender, race, nationality, age, background, etc. The shared love of the zen of the throw is the only requirement needed to be in this club.

Agreed! I have read pretty much every post here for 12 months and there definitely hasn’t been any oddness of that kind in this period, at least!

Consider, the international yo-yo federation sent Steve brown as a representative for a reason…reasons I won’t disclose. Think about it.

I love your attitude man. People like you are the reason our community can continue to grow in the right direction.

Second, actually. About ten minutes after I said first someone reminded me the Kahli Evans won Australian Nationals quite a few years ago.
