I know I’m not a boomer, but I keep getting @‘ed here(which is cool) so I’ll share my two cents for what it’s worth. Basics are essential and welcoming to newer players. Classics are classics, they’re always fun. Some diversity from past years would nice and engaging for more experienced players or returning participants. I don’t know what structure and point system you plan on using this year, but it might be cool to have beginner set of tricks and a separate intermediate set of tricks. Of course, more tricks means more work to put everything together, so idk. Anyway, here is some suggestions for different tricks.

As a disabled yoyo’er I love this answer. I do practice stalls and stuff when I’m feeling really good but a lot of my time is just the absolute basics. ---

I cannot claim disability, but yoyos, for me, was never about doing cool tricks and mastering combos, it was always about simple, repetitive tasks to keep myself, and my mind, busy. Perhaps if I become fluent enough I’ll branch out to combos, but as it stand right now, just doing basic essentials is enough to keep me entertained long enough ---

I learn new tricks solely out of boredom of whatever I currently am repeating while zoning out. But it’s tough because I yo-yo a lot of the time to get away from screens and being inside, so it’s hard to get out of that mentality to watch a trick tutorial during my yoyo time. ---

The best part about fixie tricks is they are way more about feeling and control. So the more you mindlessly practice them, the better you’ll get. You may struggle with Makin Da Zines at first, but after a month of mindlessly doing trapeze stalls you may find that Makin Da Zines is way easier. ---

Definitely need these! But not sure how to get through FAF eithout necessarily having to go over the essentials every year to keep folks on a slow learning curve but keeping experience players entertained. :thinking: Could be as simple as making an extra long trickset for week one where we have the stall-a-palooza for beginners and a slightly more advanced trick set for folks that already know how to stall. Im thinking this could just be a week 1 thing but honestly not sure what would be the best approach there. Also! For someone at my specific skill level (experienced, but really just entering my 2nd year of treating yoyo like a daily hobby), it would be awesome to have a day with tricks meant to flow together into a little combo routine. I always feel like im doing individual tricks and want to work on flowing from trick to trick this year. This feels like a 1A sort of thing (so maybe im a bit ignorant here), but then I watch Ed Haponik play and he does all sorts of cool stuff that sorta just flows together. Aside from landing the trick sets id love to improve in that regard. Last thought. Last year one of my best videos in terms of views/impressions was the food themed tricks week. Not something folks generally think about, but some quirky themes could help with social media presence to hopefully attract more outside folks to join in the fun too. Something like 6 ways to rock the baby could be silly 😆.
