Oh this reminds me. I wanted to do a “YYE forum mini sponsorship” of up and coming yo-yoers on youtube or instagram… who are producing a lot of cool yo-yo videos but are otherwise unknown … where I send them like ~5 yoyos and a ton of string. Do we have enough leads on up and coming people to do that? I don’t want to “sponsor” anyone that’s basically already sponsored / famous, I want to look for new throwers without a big audience (yet) and do a mini-forum-sponsorship. Do y’all think you’d have enough leads to do that? If so I can start a new topic for it… ---

Didn’t you already sponsor @smileypants707? I think @EthanV would be a pretty good choice but I don’t know if he is sponsored. @Marm is very good and I am pretty sure he isn’t sponsored. A lot of the people here (I.E @knowledgeablepixels) I just haven’t seen them yoyoing. ---

Not necessarily from here, just people on instagram or youtube who make a ton of yo-yo videos and are unknown. ---

Oh hello there, I am not sponsored at all and only a few people know about my instagram (@ethanvalondo\_) I consider the myself as “unoriginal” though, so its pretty much your choice to decide if im unorginal or not. wait how does @knowledgeablepixels know about my instagram?, whats your @? ---

Sponsor Ham Dog [https://www.instagram.com/hamdog.cs/](https://www.instagram.com/hamdog.cs/) I mini-sponsored him with a tournament entry fee a little while ago. You can find a lot of other good up and coming players in the Scales live streams. ---

Those crazy kids seem to love the instagramz these days, and since the criteria is “posting a lot of impressive yo-yo trick videos” that seemed like a logical place to look – instagram is all about posting lots of small videos, right? That’s the purpose of the service. And of course, obviously YouTube! But I am not limiting it to those two places… wherever the hip cool kids are who are good at making nifty new yo-yo videos and will one day win worlds in 2025 or whatever are posting regular evidence of their mad skillz … maybe it’s Livejournal, maybe it’s Myspace, I dunno, I’m old and dumb, I still use forums! :wink: ---

Was going to say Jonathon So but apparently Circle City sponsored him in december… Oh, and I saw [This Kid](https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt19pSVB65N/). Can’t believe [YoYoCharlie](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpzVeSO_uiKw3VBt-u04o4w) and [Jo3no](https://www.youtube.com/user/mrjo3no) aren’t sponsored yet. ---

Keep 'em coming! I would like to pick someone from the above and try this as an experiment. Any consensus on who we should mini-sponsor? Click on the above and let me know what you think!
