How May I Help You?

Hey Everyone!

Just putting together a list of things I’d like to cover on this blog, which I’m officially starting on the 2nd of March and from that point on I plan on following a Monday, Wednesday, Friday update schedule. Things I’d like to cover are how-to guides, new skilltoy related products (like clothing, bags and cases, accessories, etc), new Yo-yos, historical essays, current events and competitions.

At this point I’d like to know what you’d like to have covered more often, which is why I’ve put a poll up on the right-hand side of the blog; I encourage you to cast your vote. I’ll write some stuff for Monday’s blog in the meantime and then I’ll start focusing on what you’ve told me you’d like to see from the results I get in the poll.

One thing I’d like to cover that I mentioned earlier, is events and competitions. If you happen to go to a competition and have some pictures or even a video clip of it and would like to write 2-5 paragraphs about your experience I would be happy to post that for you! Just email me at info@twinepitched.com with any information and pictures from the competition with your write-up and name, email, and if you have one, your yo-yo community nick name, and I’ll let you know when I’ll be posting it.

Have a nice day everyone!

First Blog Post; Welcome to TwinePitched!

Hey there! This is Michael Montgomery and I'm taking this time and first blog post to tell you why I started TwinePitched.

What is the purpose of this blog I named TwinePitched? It’s essentially to fill a very appalling void that has developed in the industry. There is a need for actively relayed information about the events of the community to keep everyone up to date in a non-commercially motivated format. Instead of being just another yo-yo store posting information that is solely focused on gaining them more money, TP’s focus is on informing you with an unbiased report on the current activities of our industry. That does not go to say that we are unwilling to allow honorable companies of the industry to advertise on our website, we are happy to support businesses that have a good track record; we will not however allow our information to be influenced by them.

Additionally this blog is the starting point of much bigger goals, eventually TwinePitched will be expanded into a monthly or quarterly publication depending on the amount of response this blog gets, if I  see enough need for it to be expanded into a multi topic, multi paged periodical, I will work my busy self to the bone to get that publication put together. On that note, if you are interested in ever contributing to the blog or the eventual magazine don’t hesitate to email suggestions, photographs, product reviews, event stories , etc., to info@twinepitched.com.

Thanks for reading and witnessing our premiere post! Have a pleasant evening!
