I’m not even comfortable considering myself “in the community” really. I tried making a video a couple of weeks ago for a friend and it took me about 2 hours to capture two tricks clean enough to share at all. More fun to just play that worry about that stuff. ---

Not quite the oldest toy - the doll, for example, predates it by a solid stretch. And the “weapon” origin is actually just a debunked marketing myth proliferated by Duncan as yo-yoing spread through the US. But none of that makes yo-yoing’s history any less incredible or awesome. ---

To everyone saying “stick with it!”…I think that’s the key, and probably my biggest downfall with any skill based pursuit I get into. It becomes incredibly difficult for me to stick with things once my motivation levels start to dip. I’m sure pretty much everyone is like this. ---

Yeah it’s really hard sometimes but you have to find something to spark that interest again. For me about the 6 month mark I started to get away from yoyoing and into cubing. Then I did lesson with Gentry and my motivation sparked again and has not stopped since! ---
