First of all, most people go to contests, to just hang out.

2nd, you will not need to go against Yuuki or Augie. They will put you in an age division, and I think maybe a skill division.

Well, most teens about my age, are mostly not using this site anymore, making up their own tricks, and learning more techy tricks. I am doing all that, but I still use this site sometimes.

This is a good site.

I made up a trick with my name in it.

Is that too conceited?

Anyhoo, how good are the teens at Cal State.

The same. Most are like, really good, and just don’t compete.

No, that is not conceited, but, I never name my tricks after anyone, haha.  
Heck, I don’t name my tricks at all!!

Do the tricks people make up give them a place in the finals.

Look at the Yuuki Slack, It’s awesome!

Not really. You would have to be really good to get in the finals. If you are just doing advanced tricks, I don’t think you would go that far ☹ (I hope I don’t sound mean)
