This “non-competition” will feature free lessons to the public, a yo-yo “Collectors Market” and an “open mic” style of skill sharing where anyone is welcome to share a 1-3 minute freestyle in any style. We have some great prizes from Rain City Skills, G2, Jake Bullock, No City 3D and more! These prize packs will be awarded at random to the performers, emphasizing that the courage to participate will be rewarded over “who is better”. We hope this also encourages routines that are more free to focus on art than clicks. Really we just want to celebrate and share all things YO! Join us Saturday June 17 in downtown Littleton at PlayForge Games from noon to 3pm for all the fun! We will be in their new “Littleton Learning Lab” space! Hit me up with any questions or if you are interested in getting on the performance list - we hope to see you there! #milehighyoyojam ---

I wish I would have gotten there sooner. I was hearing oohs and aahs as I walking up and it was the last of the performers. I hope to see a video. I did pick up a Gnome (ice), I enjoy it very much ---

There was a count estimated at 70 people and probably at least 40-50 were club members and family so maybe 20-30 new faces. I was hoping for a bigger turnout tbh but as one of my members put it, “It’s better to please a few people than disappoint a lot”. It was a great start to build on - everyone agrees we want this to become an annual thing. ---

That’s still not bad. Because you’re going to do it again, and those 20-30 people have friends. So if they had a good time then they are telling others about it as we speak. 😁 ---
