Not “crazy” so much, but John and Rebecca Higby had me do a quick couple of combos for their crowd at the Ottawa Busker’s Festival. That was pretty memorable. 🙂 ---

I was on a Boy Scout campout, and I saw a kid from another troop with a OneStar. He could barely land trapeze, and I asked him if I could try it. He was saying something like, “I don’t think you’re as good as me.” I was going to tell him I was, but I decided to have fun. Proceed me ninja vanishing, spirit bombing, and doing tricks like that. He looked like this the whole time: :o So fun. ---

I was at a talent show at my cousin’s school and some kid was doing a yoyo performance. All he was doing was around the world, walk the dog, rock the baby, and some picture tricks (only the really basic stuff). After the show I asked if I could use his yoyo. It was a magic yoyo t5 or something with a semi-responsive bearing. I did a speed combo, RIB stole, Eli hops and a horizontal brain twister combo. Next thing I know he goes to get his friends and I’m doing a mini yoyo routine for them. My cousin said that everyone at his school was talking about me for like two weeks ---

When I got a free cinnamon bun for yoyoing outside a restaurant we were waiting to be seated in. I ended up performing in the restaurant on that day too. ---

Well, on our way home from a vacation to LA, we stopped by Porto’s bakery and I was yoyoing a little, then mark mcbride walks up to me and we start talking. He gave me so much good advice that my play has been improving faster than ever!
