This is going to sound crazy, but it’s true! We have assorted GoGo’s for $1 each! It’s not just your regular everyday GoGo’s either, no sir! Mixed in are rares and gold series GoGo’s too! The good ones are going to sell first, so if you need any GoGo’s, come in ASAP!

Because you asked, we’re announcing the 8th in the extremely popular series of Gogo Tournaments!  The promised day for this one will be Saturday, September 25th from 1 – 3:30 p.m., and admission is $5.00.  These tournaments area always popular, and always fill up fast so register early to make sure you get in!  As always each participant will need ten (10) gogos to compete, and there will be prizes for gogo prowess… so bring your A-game (and your B-ball, B-boy, or B-king) and come on over for an afternoon of Fun!

Tips & Tricks: Every tournament we try to make sure that no gogo gets lost, but they do have a habit of disappearing.  Some of the best ways we’ve found to make sure your gogos go home with you are to make a unique mark in ink or marker (or even a tiny sticker) on your gogos so that you know which are yours, or if you don’t want to mark them (and you have lots) bring only one colour of gogos to make it easier to remember.

How do I improve my game? in most games, you can only play with ten gogos, but between games you can switch up the ones you use.  Why?  Because every game is different!  Take bowling and K.O., for example.  For both games you set up nine gogos on the field and throw a tenth.  In both games, the one you throw should be big and bulky, like Eco or Alkaline, but in bowling you want the other nine to have tiny feet like Cody, Angiru, or Dare so that they all fall down easier.  In K.O., however, if they all fall down easily, you’ll be out pretty quick, so you want ones with heavy bases like Eco or H-83.  Games like online, Target, or battle want a good mix of different types of gogos, so you can see what works best for you, because these games are all in how you throw (or flick) the gogo.  Try moving your gogos from different angles to try and get better results.  As long as you’re behind the line, it counts!  Our last game is different.  Top speed uses only one gogo to bounce around the race course in the fewest number of turns.  Check the stats in your gogo sticker book for a gogo that is really fast and bouncy (the blue and orange bars) if you want a top score in top speed!

Last Saturnay, June 5th, we had our fourth gogos Crazy Bones tournament here at the store, and despite the changing weather outside, a good time was had by all!  I’d like to take some time to congratulate our winners:  Avery 1st place, Glenn 2nd place, Brayden 3rd place, Isaiah 4th place, and Olivia in 5th place!  Great job guys, and we hope to see all of you at our 5th Gogos Crazy Bones tournament next Saturday the 19th!

Our 4th GoGo’s tournament is already on the way, and at the rate these things are filling up we will have had probably 10 tournaments by the end of the summer.

The details are still being worked out but the date should be May 7th, and the fee will be around $16-18 depending on whether or not the movie is in 3D. Check the next newsletter for more details, feel free to call us and leave your name/phone number in hte meantime if you are interested.
