National Yo-Yo Contest - 10/05/13

Good luck with this one.





National Yo-Yo Contest
Chico, CA

If you want to see a Thumb Grind, attend this event.  If you want to see an Iron Whip, attend this event.  If you want to see a Boingy Boing, attend this event.

They’re all legal, entertaining, and typically performed by children and young adults.  They’re YO-YO TRICKS.

If you wind up (ha!) in Chico for this annual championship, expect to be amazed.  Competition is split into several divisions; tricks are performed using both single and double yo-yos, and “offstring” competitors wow crowds with yo-yos not even attached to their strings!  Now, that’s impressive.

Awards are also presented annually to individuals who best represent and promote the sport as well as those who innovate new tricks.  I’m going for Most Embarrassing Yo-Yo Attempt at a National Contest.
