I’m organizing casual meets for all skill toy enthusiasts, with emphasis on the yoyo. Watch this thread for announcements.
Anyhow, we’ll be meeting at the Jacinto Creek Park. This is the park behind Irene B. West Elementary School. The area between the playgrounds and near the picnic tables. The time will be from 2PM until we feel like leaving. No costs, no dues, just show up and have fun. This is not a group, it’s not a team. It’s just for people to hang out and have a good time.
New people are always welcome, no skill toy necessary! We’ll go over gravity pull, sleeper and walk the dog, and more if people want it. I’ll also have plenty of examples of different yoyos on hand. Plenty to try! Very large personal collection of yoyos available. This includes plastic, metal/plastic and metal yoyos. Looping yoyos, string trick yoyos, off-string yoyos and even yoyos set up for 5A. Most yoyo brands are represented, including Duncan, Yomega, YoYoJam, YoYoFactory, One Drop and CLYW just to name a few. Models range from super affordarable yet durable and quality low-cost models, all the way up to some of very expensive models.
I’ll also be taking questions from kids AND parents except “can I have a free yoyo”, to which the answer will be “NO”
So, bring a friend, bring a relative, bring a parent(or two) and BRING YOUR YOYO(s) or other skill toys!! This is weather permitting though, so if it rains, I’m gonna have to bail out on this. If you have a Duncan ProZ, you’re required to bring it!
There’s a water fountain nearby as well as restrooms. There are plenty of picnic tables close by as well. We’ll mostly be on the grassy areas so we don’t mess up our yoyos.
Please send PM’s if you read this and are going to be attending. Don’t feel you have to send a PM in order to attend, I’m just trying to get an idea of numbers.
I’m going to aim for running this most Sundays. Later on my schedule will busy up and I’ll maybe be able to do this once a month.
Remember, ALL skill toys welcome. Let me list a few things just to give you an idea:
Yoyo
Diabolo
Kendama
Juggling, including balls, hoops, rings, clubs and more, provided they are “safe” objects since this will be around people.
Footbags/hackysack
Flying discs/frisbee
Those who can do “magic” and illusions
Gyroscopes
Contact Juggling
Poi
Card flourishing
Cubism including Rubik’s Snake
Metal Disentanglement puzzles
We’ll even take jump rope and hula hoops.
Slinky fans: The nearby playground slides might be good places to walk your slinky down but I’m not entirely sure as I haven’t tried mine yet!
Sound good? See you there!
