Teach. Always keep a bag of yoyos that you can share with random strangers to try. (Yes I do/did this long before I was a World Traveling Professional). Waiting in line at a restaurant playing yoyo you will have a captured audience. Entertain them with tricks and ask them if they want to try. You are the key to growing the scene. You are patient zero. Spread the fever.

Having been around yo-yo so long and traveling so much I think you would have a uniquely wide perspective on yo-yo interest. I would love to hear a brief overview/history of how you’ve seen general yo-yo interest grow and shrink since you’ve been involved including the 90s boom and more recent growth. How close are we to where it was at in the 90s? 😃

The last yoyo craze was 20 years ago. There are 20 year old humans alive today that have never played with a yoyo. That is both shocking and exciting. We are approaching the next wave.
