I’ve stated this in a past thread, but I just wanted to post it here to make it very clear to people that I will be winning the 2025 World YoYo Contest in the 1A division. I realize that many of you may think I don’t stand a chance and don’t have a prayer, but I want you to know that I am dead set on this win and will undoubtably achieve it. I also realize that I may come across as the sarcastic and jokey type at times, but I can assure you this is no trolling, this is real life baby. All support is appreciated. We will look back at this post in recognition of its truth soon enough. Thank you, that is all. ---

Practice Practice Practice and then Practice some more. I believe Evan @Evan_Nagao and Gentry @Gentry_Stein practiced a minimum of 4 hours a day during their winning runs. That is only 1,460 hours in a year, how close are you to 10,000?

Do you have a solid understanding of how the scoring system works? Some of the BEST yoyoers of all time would actually score pretty low in a Worlds final, just because they don’t adapt their style to align with how contests are actually clicked/judged. It’s not just “Yeah here’s some crazy tricks” it’s organizing them into the best possible and most efficient order to get the most clicks within a short span of time while also avoiding repeating elements. Understanding how to compose a routine that clicks high is a skill on it’s own that can take years to refine. And that’s after smoothing out your trickset to avoid anything that can get you negative clicks. There’s obviously a LOT more to it but if this is something that very honestly interests you, my best advice would be to take lessons from someone like Justin or Hunter - they offer them and they can give you a really good idea of where you are at and what you need to do to get to where you want to be. Without a deep understanding of what goes into a Worlds final level routine, you are going to have an uphill battle, especially since the competition is more insane than ever. Truly… best of luck! ---

One of the things that I realized in the lead up to worlds this year is that not only do you need to put in the practice time but you also need stage time. So try to hit up as many contests as you can between now and then to get comfortable on the stage. ---

Good luck mate, as someone said test your skills on other stages before worlds and practice like a madman but do not get burnout in the way and also do not get discourage if your first contest will go bad, bless! ---
