Order Soon Van
Creativity starves insanity
Oporto meet for the warm up, and the catch into the fray. It's a quiet world with the major topic of conversation being that of yo-yos. Only playing spectator for the National Championships back in May and still without a trick to hold. Working the meet up with a national branded yo-yo doesn't make things easier.
At the dead Hyde Park fountain near the corner of Park and Elizabeth Streets, a group of yo-yoers and a few jugglers. Cold and chilly air makes for the fingers to snap. Knuckles busting on strings catching too quick. It's the crack that makes the quality in the pain.
And there in amongst the pain and lot of these players hanging and catching tricks, a learner, no closer to landing a trapeze at the Starbucks breaking point. Even a simple flick up return is beyond the skills at this point.
Six months to nationals. Time is counting down like the whirring of the bearings in the axle to exhaustion.
