It’s that time of year again! Ed Haponik famously spent and entire year playing one yoyo. I bow my head in respect. _bows head in respect_ To honor his commitment and in the spirit if that achievement, I invite you to join me in choosing a difficult style or yoyo to play for the month of Edcember. Share your stories, videos, and complaints here! Last year, I tried a month with a duncan tournament yoyo. I didn’t make it. The frustration was too great. This year, I’m going to play Astrojax for a month solid. What will you choose? 5a? Kendama? Looping? Poi? If you can only make it to Xmas, you still get props! ---

Whether you make it, or not, it’s still a good exercise. I just discovered Astrojax so I figured it would give me a month to learn some tricks. I wanted to do kendama but the girlfriend vetoed it on account of the noise. She doesn’t mind bearings but can’t stand the clicking. ---
