Yovember - Movember: YYBC Community Challenge for Men's Health!

I’m actually letter-free right now… post away!

I am not a “Tough Guy,” and never have been. I cry freely, show affection openly, and do my best to care for my health for the most part. :slight_smile:

That being said…part of my Autism (AuDHD, actually) comes in the form of emotional delay. I can often seem closed off and distant in the moment because it takes me a bit to process things. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case for more negative emotions, like anger. My diagnosis came very late in life, only in the past few years, but it’s helped me understand myself better so I can work on myself from a place of self-love and compassion.

Well, I changed my mind apparently, lol. Got my Reman Butterfly #2 from @TryCatchThrow and had to show it off, haha! Hopefully a softball here.

Essentially, it’s like “Horse” in basketball. One person show’s off a trick, and the other people have only one chance to recreate it. If you miss, you take a letter, then someone else posts a trick. If you make it, you stay where you’re at and show off the next trick for people to try and hit on the first try. Etc., etc.

If you reach “Horse,” you’re out.

Thanks, Collin!

I knew the rules of Horse, but I wasn’t sure if anything was changed.

Nice! I like bowling reverse stall!
I’m at “Hor”

Landed the toss and reverse stall (adding this to my trick-list, lol). Got the balance up but it landed flat instead of vertical. :sob: Haha

Yoyo Give Away Challenge. 6 & 7 out of 5.

Wife had a girlfriend over last night. The topic of yoyos came up in a card game we were playing. Wasnt a very flattering card (for us yoyoists).

My wife started to poke fun. Husband was curious. So I showed him the “Almost world famous Pun1sh3R wall of yoyos”.

He had some really good questions and was honestly curious.

So I gave him a Orange Sparkle Fly and I started to show him the basics.

Later on, the discussion of Unresponsive came up. So I handed him a Replay Pro. After a little bit he had the front bind down. By the end of the night he was doing Brain Twister.

When they were leaving I handed him both yoyos and said, “Keep Practicing. Next time we hang out, you can teach me a trick.”

It was a really fun night. We yoyoed for hours.

And I still played with my @archiesdad yoyo challenge yoyo also. So keeping that alive. String should have been changed last week. But still holding strong to the challenge.

Happy Turkey Day All!

I am still with the challenge, but have been easily distracted lately. I need to spend more time on self care.

Win Yo-Self a Movember Hat!
Wk0 - Flame On! | Wk1 - 2 Feet | Wk2 - 3 Feet | Wk3 - 4 Feet | Wk4 - 5 Feet

Update Week 5 (6 Foot String!):

  1. Donate to the cause: Movember - Home - :white_check_mark:
  2. Light a yoyo on fire (still don’t recommend doing this) - :white_check_mark:
  3. Beard from scratch, no trim - :white_check_mark:
  4. YoYo Horse Participation - “Hor” :white_check_mark: :
  5. String Grow Challenge: Current Level - String Length | 6 Feet :white_check_mark:

6-Foot String…What can I say other than “I’m glad this is over.” It’s a pain. Same height as me basically flying in every direction of the room. I smacked myself more than a couple of times. All my throws felt like they were in slow-mo, string was being gobbled up by the yo-yo, wrapping all around my hand, my shoulder was sore after all the awkward binding I was doing, and now my regular length string just feels wayyyyy too short, haha! It was interesting, but not one I will be going back to any time soon.

The beard from scratch, came in nicely, but jonesing for a trim at this point, will be happy tomorrow when I can finally trim it back to how I like. All in all, was a fun experience though, and more than happy that I got to participate. Thank you all, and my fellow YYBC members! It’s been a ride! :slight_smile:

Those who had participated in Option #2 and completed it, I will be doing the Movember hat drawings some time next week, and will be sure to tag you in as well. Thanks for the participation and the support of a good cause!
