His FS was clean! Looking forward to his next move in worlds this august. Also is anyone knows what yoyo he used in finals? since it looks different from the video
Watching Connor in person was amazing. Apparently he’s been planning out/practicing for this freestyle for over a year now, can’t wait to see him go clean at worlds.
Dude forreal… when I saw his prelim/semi I thought he was gonna win fasho, so it was a bummer it wasn’t a little more clean. But yeah you can tell he was planning it for AWHILE, his tricks were just hitting absolutely different and watching it was one of those “holy ■■■■” moments. Everyone felt that energy I feel like.
Nats was a blast.
Quick trick from my vendor table:

Congrats to @Yo-yoislife. Amazing performance in her first competition!!!
If you aren’t following Katie on insta you should be.
Katie used to post here. She’s amazing!
Alex Hattori and Aaliyah Tan were the routines that had me going crazy. Those 3A finals live were MESMERIZING!!! Ran into Alex on the way out this morning. TONS of bonus livestream stuff including the Saturday night Spintop battle that Evan came out for! @milehighyoyo on insta
It was a great time. It was so cool to meet everyone @adamantiumpops @SR1 @MarkD @AndreBoulay and many more. Such a unique experience and awesome people.
I took the following two pics back to back when I ran into these guys separately. It wasn’t until after I took the second one that I realized how cool the connection was…
If you remember the YYF/CLYW crossover you’ll realize it too
Getting to chill with Boyd was like the coolest thing ever. Were we buzzed? YEAH. Did it make it better? Yeah
Just wanted to pop back in and say what an AWESOME weekend that was… so glad I could put some faces to names I’ve seen around here forever, it was so great meeting all of you! @bigstupidbees @adamantiumpops @TheSliverKing @fradiger @RC_yo-yo @Isaac @AndreBoulay
There were SO many people there, so if I didn’t meet you I hope to see you guys next time, especially anyone who couldn’t go (@LeftyThrower24 @GTDropKnot @KirbyRobot off the top of my head), would love you meet you guys next year.
I didn’t get too many pics cause I was having so much fun but Andre airdropped me this pic from the trivia contest lol
We will meet soon enough my man it can’t not happen at this point! I’d love to get out to SoCal, my lady and I were hoping for a vacation out there soon, if I’m in that area I’m gonna hit you up, I know you’re a bourbon guy I’m sure you know some good spots
Hell yeah good to meet you and everyone else! Only my second contest but it was definitely one I’m glad I could see in person. If they keep doing it in Mesa I’ll keep going!
So much fun! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MPc7zl4EN3o
