Heres a video from the yoyo club that was once at randalls. 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. :sob:

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!

Yes, Welcome!!! Seems a good few of us are just starting out or picking it back up!

I’m glad this thread is working out in getting us all talking. Especially everyone so relatively close.

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.

John Wolfe told me he is considering making some events in the near area, monthly or bimonthly (I don’t remember exactly). If there are updates I’ll let you guys know.

I’m glad the humidity is decreasing, but man, it is still as Hades out there… I actually have meaning to reach out to you… I’m a woodturner as well and I’d love to pick your brain to improve my technique and just general advice… maybe if the stars align we can have a meetup?

Hey absolutely! Not sure where you are in the area and what you turn, but feel free to PM me and we can catch up and chat.

You’re in Moon, right? I’m down in Beaver County…

Yep! Your close! You been to our Rockler in Robinson Twp? There’s a good bit of turning supplies and materials. Whether it’s for making yoyo blanks to kits and gear.

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…
