I was just reminiscing about my younger days in the late 60's competing in front of an old Five & Dime store (SS Kresge) at Oakridge Shopping Center in Vancouver. A "Rep" and accomplished "trickster" would hold a weekly contest where there was usually anywhere from 15 to 30 kids participating. We would compete for our 5-10-15-20+ trick badge and I believe after 20 tricks we would be awarded an official Yo-Yo sweater to sew our badges on.

Great memories... Thanks!

It sure is great to see how contests were run in the 1960's. The Duncan demonstrators from those days are truly legends.
