I'm a teacher and during lunch breaks I run a yoyo club. The world of yo-yoing is more than likely something you guys know little about, but I think it's really interesting.

I entered our club into a video contest, the task to creating a short video explaining why you love to yoyo.

I used Jeff Aments amazing words regarding skateboarding for the Vans Pass the Bucket video (look up if you haven't, it's really amazing) as a stimulus for our project and it features in the first half.

It turned out well and the kids won some really great yoyos for the club.

From the yoyo company CLYW:

"For Most Inspiring, we have the Trinity YoYo Club’s video. It was incredibly touching and definitely catches what yoyoing is all about to all of us. We really enjoyed your use of the skateboarding quote. The Trinity YoYo Club has done so much for yoyoing this year and has helped inspire a whole new generation of throwers. Hats off to you guys!"


So, I'd like to say thanks to Jeff Ament! They loved your words as much as I did and I hope we did the sentiment justice.
