I had such a good time seeing Gentry, Jensen, Josh and Michael perform! (although seeing everybody perform was a blast). That was pretty much the best day ever! Lol I really wanted to be there to see the Summits get released, but we got there a little past noon and they were long sold out and not on the price list at the Caribou Lodge stand… Oh well.

95 (yes, counted)
Yogi stickers.

are you serious? 95?? Lol. Did you compete? Sorry in advance if you’re a super famous yoyoer and I’m just oblivious…

In every division except sports ladder!!

wow. Haru is Josh Yee?

Yes.

How much was the bear vs man 2 going for?

120

ohhhh thanks.

I am Haru, and I like stickers, especially those with dogs on them.

Even AP? Was there even AP division?

I don’t know about Haru-Ray’s yoyoing, but I definitely want to see Josh Yee’s fixed axle performance!
