Around 4:49 into it theres footage of the yoyo case they had. Looks like it was fun. Also some packs of Pokemon Evolutions in that case. I once had hundreds of packs of those I wish I head onto. They are like $40 a pack now. 😭 Also, Im kinda proud that my creeper footage has led to a Pittsburgh yoyo club coming together haha ---

Hey all, just stumbled across this thread. I’m also in Pittsburgh and work downtown. Mostly just learning how to yoyo, but really enjoying the Skills Addict app. Also trying to learn how to do 4a at the moment. Figured I’d create an account and say hi! ---

> [@ice1000](#): > > and modern 1A. I’m struggling the most with 1A. I am very very eager to learn! Yo you should definitely check out the trick a week thread! It is just a 1a trick to learn each week and then you can ask questions if you get stuck and people can help! They are almost always very accessible and definitely accessible to you at your current skill level. Just a great way to learn new elements and explore and I personally really enjoy that the decision of what trick to learn is taken away from me like just learn whatever trick is posted. This is also a huge part of how I improved my 1A and I really hope you decide to try it! New tricks are posted on Fridays and you can learn it however you want like no rush to finish by the end of the week or even finish like just trying out a new trick is really helpful. > [@Trick-a-Week 2025- #34 Junyi Lin DoN Combo](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/trick-a-week-2025-25-dragonblade/416377/773): > > Week 25 Dragonblade This week we’re gonna go with more of an opening element than a full combo.

I sure have, but it’s been awhile… I remember going to a Woodcraft out in Washington County years ago, but I’m not sure if it’s still there… I want to start turning yoyos, but my success has been mixed so far… I usually end up making bowls and small finial stuff… [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/steel-city-throwers/427471.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/steel-city-throwers/427471.md?page=3)
