I was in Manitou Springs, CO when I met up with two yoyoists in front of a yoyo store. I spent a good hour talking and trading tricks. It was one of the most enjoyable hours in my life.

I get the hat for tips thing all the time. When people ask me to walk the dog I just grind it up and down my arm which usually makes them forget about any kind of dog walking.
A lot of times people video me thinking they’re gonna strike youtube gold or something. I just let them and keep a big smile and do extra flashy tricks like texas cowboy. eli hops, whips, etc. so they can show their friends. I think it’s cool when people ask me questions because that means they’re interested.
Especially if it’s a group of pretty ladies 8)
