I see mostly BST on here but curious what’s the community like yoyoing. I’ve always been a bit of loner myself and hitting 30 in few months looking for more of a sense of community or at least within my hobbies ---

you can hide bst posts [What brands do you recommend? - #76 by SlowThrow](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/what-brands-do-you-recommend/446408/76) which i find makes browsing the forums feel more communal. beyond that, if you don’t have any clubs in your city/province/state i think your best bet is either reaching out on here or joining a community discord ---

It is the best. Look for an in person club in your area and go to it! You’ll likely find a bunch of other people very similar to yourself. ---

You’re not alone in being alone. I’ve only been able to hangout online. There’s also contests of course these are spread out and require planning and travel but it’s a worthwhile experience. ---

Might have to make the trek down to San Diego for a club. Spirit Yo-Yo Contest also takes place in Long Beach annually. It already happened this year (October) but would highly recommend checking it out next year! ---

I feel you on being alone in yoyo I literally can’t find anyone local to me that even cares about yoyo let alone a group. Everyone seems to be really far away it’s fun for sure but I do wish I had people around me that did yoyo. ---

That’s when you have to start spreading it yourself. Show your friends. If even just one of them picks it up that’ll be a start! ---

Believe me, I have tried. I got one person into yo-yo’s and then they already just stopped. But every time I bring a yo-yo with me, even to work, I either get looked at funny or I get told that yo-yo’s are stupid and a waste of money ---

Temecula is rough, but you can head out to DXL tomorrow, it’s one of, if not the largest yoyo club in America. It’s located in Artesia which would be a drive for ya, but a lot of members drive from SD or even one of our friends who drives from the Big Bear area. I think there’s also a club that started up recently that might be a bit closer to the northern LA area. > **[DXL CREW (@dxlcrew) • Instagram photos and videos](https://www.instagram.com/dxlcrew/?hl=en)** > > 1,668 Followers, 408 Following, 242 Posts - See Instagram photos and videos from DXL CREW (@dxlcrew) 11688 South Street, Artesia CA 90701 ---

San Diego doesn’t have any yoyo clubs that I know of but it hosts a Kendama Club meetup where a few throwers attend. DXL in Artesia is primarily the main yoyo club for SoCal. It’s usually once a month. ---
