Though there are many adults playing yo-yo and practicing regularly, it seems that many feel hesitant to enter a yo-yo or video contest&#8230;<br \/>\nWe wanted to create an opportunity just for those adults to participate in!<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, we hoped that not just the entrants of the contest, but viewers just like them, might be influenced by their videos. We hoped that people would think, \u201cThere are adults over 40 who are this amazing at yo-yo!\u201d and be encouraged and motivated to play yo-yo too.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at the results we feel that both goals have been accomplished, and we&#8217;re definitely glad we held this video contest.<\/p>\n<p>In the future we plan to hold a second round of the Over 40 Video Contest.
