I really have to say that that is a brilliant idea for a class. :o It is an awesome idea ;D Never thought of it ???
Make sure you get a good trick list too ;D

That is an absolutely wonderful idea! Problem: I have no idea if these people would stick with it long enough to get past using the Brain. Other than that, that’s a great idea.

I actually find it kinda sad that people just quit after getting their beginner yoyo. It seems like lots of people leave yoyoing after they get to intermidiate tricks.

Yeah I know. Some people just don’t have the time or don’t want to take the time to get good.

Flying Squirrels?
They are 10 dollars here and about 8 dollars at the Nation.
Just get a pair or two of pads for them each and they are set.

I’m trying not to feed you the wrong info, but that wouldn’t be a good thing if, lets say you buy 10 Yomega Fireballs for about $8 off the site. Free shipping. Now, you went to sell them for $6. Thats not right because Yomega is selling them for more, while you can get them from Apetrunk for a lot less. BST, thats different than most. Players got their value from it, and want it for another yoyo. Thats a community thing.

Or just don’t charge for the yo-yo’s and in turn charge like 7 bucks to take the class… That should hold up pretty well in court :wink: Just kidding.

I never would have guessed I would have to lock this. Oh well.
If you’re interested, I did get a yoyo club started at school. Lock.
