This Saturday we will be meeting at 3pm at the Lynbrook Library. We have been growing at a steady pace. If anyone is in the area we have a bunch of throwers with above average skills to hang out with.
As always plenty of beginners and newbies so everyone is welcome.
Hope everyone enjoys the holiday weekend

Library. Closes early on weekends in the summer so we are moving the club meet outdoors till September.
Lynbrook Yo-Yo Club 3pm on the 2nd Saturday of the month at Greis Park, by the gazebo. June 14, July 12 & Aug 9.
Greis Park
Might rain. There is a playground with a over head cover, near the gazebo, that will work great. If it’s too windy and cold I’ll reschedule, but we are on for now and looks like we will have a nice turn out. If you are in the area please come and hang out.

Happy father’s day to all.
Yesterday was so great. I’ve been hosting the club for over a year and we have a nice crew showing up now. 5 grownups throwing yoyos and talking about yoyos, history, and collections. And about 4 kids learning to throw. None of the regulars from the library came (i think due to the change in venue, i probably need to do better at getting the word out but it’s growing). In September we will be back in the library and I’m sure the 2 groups will join.
I want to encourage anyone reading this to go for it and start a club at your library or any venue that won’t charge you a fee. With a little time people will start coming and you might find other skilled thrower. @blacklabel9567 found me on this thread, and it turns out he lives near my job so we actually hung out at his place for yoyo day during my lunch. One of the dad’s that came yesterday is a closet collector of some kind, he was able to ID my G2, Mowl, and MFD yoyos without help, usually people just ask if that’s a Duncan. He couldn’t land a trapeze last month, and hes now landing trapeze, brother and brother Slack combos.
Throwing with 4 friends and a bunch of kids was exactly why i started this, that and to give back to the community or whatever positive vibe… but seriously if your tired of throwing solo in your basement or infront of your family, please go for it and start a club. Once a month, consistency and it will grow.
My spidey/ Venom collection because this is what started this journey.

Running a club is easy it really boils down to pick a place and tell people you are bringing a yoyo

Just a reminder, this Sat 3pm at Greis Park by the gazebo. Last month we had a great turn out, and i already heard back from a bunch of people that they will be there again on Sat.
I’m expecting throwers in every age group and across a few skill levels.
If you’re in long Island and want to throw with some friends come by.
Was working on Ladder Escape so i thought I’d share. We forget the tricks we learn, funny thing is when you return to them it only takes a few practice runs to remember how to, the real trick is to get it smooth and deposited into that muscle memory bank.

This weeks club was great! I’m hesitant to post videos because the club is a lot of kids and i don’t want to film other people’s kids for obvious reasons. We were outside, weather was great and some where throwing some 5A with gusto!
For all you more mature throwers we also have 6 adult regulars that show up all of which are very into the yoyo hobby.
Here is a combo i picked up from Jordan
and @blacklabel9567 who comes regularly, Jordan taught me/ reminded me of Chris Tower and Jan showed me this cool underslack GT element that i just put together. Throwing with others IRL is so rewarding and fun.
Heres the combo i picked up on Sat.
Please join us 2nd Saturday of the month at 3pm. Check out IG @Lynbrookyoyoclub for locations and updates info.
