So as some may recall my son Evan has decided that yo yo'ing is his passion and has been obsessed with it for the last 18 months.

Last year we made a trek to Seattle to after 3 months of yo'ing to attend the 2017 PNWR were Evan placed 10th in the novice 1a division.

Fast forward one year and countless hours yo'ing and the magnificent little bugger places first with authority! He scored a 92.3 and the 2nd place kid was at 69.3.

Crazy to watch how much he has grown and how far he has progressed!

Enjoy and share around!

Great stuff mate! I can't even comprehend the talent, dexterity and commitment it would take to become that good.  I don't know what the next Division after Novice 1A is, but with such a dominating victory he must be confident for next year.

Neat-o. Once again, I am impressed by (and a little envious of) your boy's mad yo skillz, haha.  I was never able to do more than the basic "walk the dog" and "round the world" tricks....

FFS, that's impressive!  Not only the moves, but that he's put in the time and effort to get that good, particularly at that age.  My lazy ass was only worried about making money from my paper routes and, as I see now, wasting it on football & baseball cards.

Congrats Terry!  A damn proud papa you should be.

Thanks for all the kind words and kudo's everyone!

Yes it is a heck of thing and we are riding the current wave of "fandom". 

Evan had to get an Instagram and his Youtube video and Instagram are all a buzz with accolades and new yo yo friends, peers and admirers.

As for what is next, we are looking at some more "local" competitions (Northern California, Idaho and Arizona) in the junior and novice brackets to further hone the craft. 

After that he would move into plain ole' 1a competitions where the play is nuts. He is well on his way and if all goes well he will be competing in 1a next year and who knows, maybe a National or even a Worlds competition??? 

All up to him as it is his thing, we are just a conduit to his goals.

Thanks again everyone and watch that video, comment and share around!

      Well this is some excellent news. Going to see Sophie Lloyds first headline show on 17th Oct in London (tiny club called The Underworld) and it has just been announced that the support act will be Chez Kane... can I handle two fit birds peforming on stage or will my heart give out before the show is over?

      Best albums of 2022

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      I don't rate or grade albums with any kinda numbering system or percentage. All I do is think which were the albums I enjoyed most, which generally means got played the most (I mean you don't play the worst albums over and over again for months), with memorable songs. Then when it comes to what order they go in. Once again, I just go with what I feel got the most airplay for me over the course of time. Obviously an album released in Jan is gonna potentially have more play time than one released in November, but It's down to longevity as well. If I play an album solidly for a month then move on, it's probably gonna be top 10, but if other albums are still being played regularly 3 or more months after release, those are gonna rank higher. I mean this year Judas Priest was a fairly early release in the year, but I am still playing it now, although  not as often. Then an album like Mick Mars which I loved, but has kinda fallen off my radar in the last six months, will rank a lot lower. I try to not go for recency bias as well even though I have been listening to one album in my top 10 for only a week, but it was such an insantaneous album I know its gonna get heavy play time for the next few months.

      AI generated music… is this where we’re heading?

      By metalmaniac777 · Posted

      @Darkstone, I just randomly clicked on your link and listened to "Hardened Heart." In the interest of full disclosure, I am not personally a fan of AI music--I find something about the vocals sterile and offputting--but I wanted to say that I thought that particular song sounded like something White Lion would have done back in the day. Nice power ballad, despite my aforementioned issues with AI tunes. While it's not for me, I'm glad people have an outlet for their creative impulses, and there's no doubt some cool stuff is emerging, with "Hardened Heart" being among the best I've heard.

      10 days away.... Hurricane Helene destruction in North Carolina

      By Geoff · Posted

      Isn't that like the Hawaii situation all over again? But at least the Ukraine have all the US-funded weapons they need, I guess.  Anyway, Mike, sounds really full on but I am glad that you and your family are well, relatively speaking. Wishing you and all the surrounding communities a worthy recovery.
