I wouldn’t have the time to go there this year but…that’s a 45 minute flight to SoCal (compared to a 3 hour drive to Chico). Naturally though if I were down there I would also have to pay a visit to the Mouse and other parks down that way 🙂 I think it’s a wise move, being in a highly populated area, plus ease of getting there, it can only help yoyoing. ---

This sucks ☹ Chico was much closer to where I lived. Now idk what to do ---

> [@ThinkH2o](#): > > This sucks ☹ Chico was much closer to where I lived. Now idk what to do I’d suggest you quit whining and realize that this is a massive improvement for the VAST (99%) majority of people in the country, and a huge boost to the potential of the contest and yoyoing as a whole. After that, consider putting in slightly more effort to get to LA, one of the most easily accessed cities in the world. Kyle Edit: this came off a bit harsh and I apologize… was a long day and I probably didn’t write that in the best way. ---

Cause I really would like to go. I’ve only been to one contest and that was BAC. I’d love to watch the nationals as well. I guess I have a few months to figure it out I guess. ---

Amtrak Coast Starlight will do just that. It is slow though. I’d also look at Megabus. ---

Nice, it will be right down the street from my office. Woohoo. There’s a metrolink station close by as well if anyone is in Socal looking for transport to it. If I had a bigger car… (actually I’ll steal the wifes) I could probably take a few from their hotel or whatever if they need a ride since I’ll be there. 🙂 ---
