California State Yo-Yo Championship - 03/03/12


Yo!
Sacramento, CA

When I was 9 years old I had a purple Duncan Butterfly yo-yo.  I was obsessed with the thing; and by "obsessed" I mean I would spend upwards of 12 to 13 good minutes a day trying to "walk the dog" or figure out something else that would impress my parents.  At that age, concentrating on anything for more than 10 minutes was a feat.

That being said, I never imagined there would be entire days devoted to yo-offs, or whatever the official term may be.  Yet, aficionados of the hobby are scheduled to congregate for over 8 hours of Gyroscopic Flops, Hidemasa Hooks and Throwhand Grinds.  Yes, I had to Google those.

Stop by, if only to hear each competitor's chosen background music, and place your bets on the first to be disqualified for their song's vulgar or sexual language.  Rules are rules!
