Earlier I mentioned that I throw at my niece’s softball tournaments…really great exposure for yoyo as there are countless kids everywhere and a lot really get into what I’m doing. Today was another softball game throwing session between games. It honestly did not take long before I had people watching me. Starting off, some kids came right up and asked me what kind of yoyo I had and that they had one like it. I showed them my One Star and explained that it’s not ‘released’ yet/can’t buy it anywhere yet. After that, one went into telling me about how he placed 2nd at a school yoyo contest. Wishing I had a responsive yo, I would have gladly asked him to show me what he can do. I then show him some of my other ‘eye catcher’ tricks and they really got into Gyroscopic Flop (or as they called it “Superman” in reference to a roller coaster that’s opening soon in my area: gets launched out of a tunnel, goes upward, then 150 feet in the air it takes a barrel roll slowly…which they associated my yoyo slowly turning over with that ride’s element). Being a coaster enthusiast as well, I had a little nod and grin. After the first game I run into the kids again as I’m carrying my gear (YYE Contest Bag, backpack with camera). First thing I hear is “Hey, there’s that yoyo guy again!” As I saw them, I unzipped the bag and showed them my main throw lineup. They were amazed at the different shapes, sizes, and colors. I really wanted to show them some 5A and 4A but space-wise it was not feasible. A bit later in the sports park’s restaurant I was throwing when one of the teams that just finished playing walked in and suddenly crowded around me, watching me do my thing. Impressed, they asked how I did all of that? Typical answer: Practice! Coach agreed since the girls team has to practice also to improve their game. A little bit more later, outside throwing before game #2. A toddler (who can speak) comes up and is watching me for a minute. He then asks “What is that?” I told him that it was a yoyo. Puzzled as he’s probably never even seen these ‘new-fangled toys’ before, he watches in awe at some of the things I’m doing. I’m sure he probably didn’t even get the idea of what one would do with a yoyo. Nonetheless, another person interested. Towards the end of the day, even more people of different ages are watching when some of the players are indirectly complimenting what I’m doing. I then pull out a 5A yoyo when I hear “oh wow, he’s got one with a dice on it!” Then the kids I ran into at the beginning come up and ask me to pull out the tiny yoyo (Littles) and do the “Superman” trick again (Being Gyro Flop). All in all, was a great day of throwing and another reason why I now take my bag to every game I go to: great exposure to our little corner of the world. I could be standing in an empty area with people in the distance and they will come… sometimes I tend to do that as I don’t want to feel like I’m deliberately trying to show off. Really wishing I had my Revolutions down, they’d really love that one! I have been practicing that trick religiously all day today and discovering what works and what doesn’t. Now, to take the yoyo to the theme park again or not to? ---

I’m poetry particular about where I throw. I only ever throw on planet earth. [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/where-do-you-throw/38983.md?page=1)
