My car broke down in Richmond during the 2018 Virginia State Yo-Yo Contest. Here’s an unedited one take using my new Core Co. Alley Cat.

Nice tricks. Hope that all worked out for you! I always feel thankful when I see some else broke down. Glad it hasn’t happened to me for a while now. :wink:

Great job with the shoot the moons! (and the shoot the moon variation at :37 seconds). Hope the car was back on the road in time for the contest.

Thanks guys! The tow truck driver dropped me off at the contest in time for the remainder of the Open division and then 1A finals. The car had a broken axle and was fixed by noon the next day. I stayed overnight with family whose three kids had all bought First Bases and were practicing the basics that evening. Worked out really well.
