Thank you so much again Andy for the warm welcome and addition to the team. Thank you everyone else too for the love. The Return Bottoms insta will go live in the next couple weeks. I have a Demon’s Fun on the way and want to make some videos with it to debut simultaneously with the account being made. Absolutely stoked as well about the titanium Waffle Stomper proto. The original Waffle Stomper blew me away at its 0A capabilities. I don’t have anything that kickflips as well as it does, and it shoots the moon for days. So for as good as the original is, I can only imagine how cool it will be to see it translated to titanium. Here is a small showcase of the original Waffle Stomper kickflipping ---

Alright first donations are in. To make it easier on me I’m tallying up purchases each month and donating monthly. We’ve sold 4 packs of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Canada string and 9 Demons Fun. That’s $225 for the Trevor Project and $20 for Empower Through Music! I had to round up for ETM because its donations page was in real Canadian dollars. Here are receipts for accountability. ![IMG_2071](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/9/e/09ed230a61d85b72586e6344314cf0fb5233a96a.jpeg) ![IMG_2072](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/3/b/03bbfa44989eb12fdbf8b5360d27e7d9fac74c27.jpeg) ---
