Same here, I always wished Duncan yo-yo professionals could still be around to verify you knew a trick and give you patches to sew onto a jacket. But since we can do it digitally on nostr now I’m going to make a digital equivalent.

I didn’t even know that was a thing…

It was so hard to know if you were doing a trick right learning it from a book lol

I believe it was a thing around the 60s or earlier. Whenever Pedro Flores sold his company to Donald Duncan they started sending out pros to promote and validate skills. I believe spintastics also had badges later on. It’s been something I latched onto since I was aware of it. When I was in bowling league you’d get patches for reaching certain score levels or in judo you’d get belts for skill level. Why not yo-yo too lol
