How did you get into flipping?
“My interest for flipping started when my cousin would show me posts from @___hey.austin, @flippin.trippin, and @keitxro_ few months later, we ended up gifting each other our first trainers for the holidays and finally got into the hobby.”
Who are your favorite flippers?
Along with the three flippers I mentioned that got me into flipping, my other favorites are @jelly.flp, @blankermane, @yummyoysterboi, @sysmthngwng, and @lqkii_alt

How did you get into flipping?
“I had a family friend who owned a benchmade 42 growing up. I always thought it was really cool seeing him learning tricks on it. I bought myself a CSGO trainer in 2017 but I couldn’t wait for it to come so I built myself one out of legos! haha”
