So on a speedcubing forum I was on, there was a thread called “the buddy thread”. You would match up with someone of your skill level, and then you two would set a goal like being sub 15 seconds on 3x3. It was a really neat way to set goals, to have a push to get better. Now I know most people hear are pretty experienced, but you can still give it a try. If this becomes popular, I will organize the pairs of people and what not on the main post. I’ll start
LIST OF PAIRS:
@Kyle and @PCaliyoyos: Branding weave
@100FatYoyoDads(complete) and @AKYOYOMIKE: 1.0 hook.
@JWaugh, and @shatterFX: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVpQQgJGkAw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVpQQgJGkAw)
LIST OF MENTORS:
@AKYOYOMIKE

> Hi guys, This is aimed at the beginners out there, who are still struggling with the likes of Kwyjibo, that is around Advanced 1 / Advanced 2 yoyo skill level on [Yoyoexpert.com/learn/](http://Yoyoexpert.com/learn/). The idea is that we are going to be motivating each other to keep progressing and by the end of the year we should have advanced faster than we would have if we went at it alone. The challenge will run from 1st December 2019 for 52 weeks! (and maybe more if it continues to be a success). The plan is every week…
These guys have a few ppl who embark on challenges they change weekly. Learning new tricks together and share videos. I already know kwyjibo but i would gladly practice it live on Instagram with you

Like Frankie said, we offer group buddy thread on the link he posted above ^
But our first trick is Kamikaze, so you should jump on board with us when you are ready. We will be waiting and expecting your arrival 🙂

Maybe if there isn’t anyone in someone’s skill level they could be a “mentor”, someone who already knows the trick and helps people who are learning!😀
