Any thoughts/feedback? Here’s the video description: Yoyo Used: One Drop Chik Song Used: Flux Pavilion- Blow The Roof This freestyle went pretty well for my first time competing. The smoothness could’ve been better and there were a few things I would’ve liked to hit, but it still went okay. I was so nervous I couldn’t feel my hands, though. I’ve been yoyoing for about a year now. ---

Hey good job! My first time competing I placed 7th, but there were only 7 people in finals XD It’s nerve racking, isn’t it? I think an important pat of competing, even if your style isn’t fully developed, is to just go on stage and get exposure to it. It’s something that takes getting used to. And you seem to be doing just that. Ohio is a great place to be a yoyoer right now. With people like Colin Beckford, Darnell Hairston, and Brandon Jackson around you will be a pro in no time. ---

With people like Colin Beckford, Darnell Hairston, and Brandon Jackson around you will be a pro in no time. Yeah, very nerve racking. They were supposed to have prelims this year but not enough people signed up, I guess. There were about 46 people in the 1A division. I agree, Ohio is a great state if you yoyo. Unfortunately, I live in WV and there’s a lot less yoyo exposure there. ---
