This one was REALLY neat, number1! I had no idea what this was. It was cool to find such a connection between Apolo's headband and Japanese culture. Of course, his headband is a bit different, but still! The hachimaki is A hachimaki (”«Šª) is a stylized headband (bandana) in the Japanese culture, usually made of red or white cloth, worn as a symbol of perseverance or effort by the wearer. Another theory states that they originated in headbands worn by samurai that kept their helmets on, to absorb perspiration, and keep hair out of their eyes. "Hachimaki" translates as "helmet-scarf". Tying the hachimaki equals the Western gesture of rolling up one's sleeves - getting serious and beginning to do the work en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HachimakiThis is a headband usually made of a white cloth and worn as a symbol of perseverance or effort by Martial Artists. isshindo.blogspot.com/2007/06/hachimaki.htmlCommonly worn by warriors, protestors, students studying for exams, or anyone who needs to be serious and focused on something. tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HachimakiJim Carrey |

Jim Carrey was the actor that Apolo was the most excited to meet and the most down to earth.
Kevin Costner

Wow I'm so impressed with everyone's knowledge of Apolo! ;D I'm just starting to learn about him so I wouldn't be very good at playing. I did know a few like his cat's name, Roots, and Dr. Seuss. With the next one Kevin Costner, I have no clue.  |

Okay, I really do not know this one. The only possible thing I can find is Wikipedia lists them both as famous wearers of the soul patch. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soul_patchAnd lisam, you don't have to know the answers. If you don't know it, you can research it. Its like an internet scavenger hunt for Apolo info!  The next one is Build a Bear Workshop |

No, Apolo's favorite move is "For Love of the Game" starring Keving Costner, about a baseball player torn between the love of the game and his family. Actually, one of my favorites too. Great Movie.

Doh!  I knew it was gonna be something much simpler than what I posted, but I couldn't remember anything or find it either! Here's some hints about Build-A-Bear: ohnozone, Roots, " Should I sign its butt or what?" |

Oh! a fan that was at Apolo's Roots Store signing had a build-a-bear workshop bear that looked like Apolo (bandana, skates, etc.)
Here's one: Rhinestone bandana
(clues: ice, spinning on back)

the place where Apolo would make frequent trips to get pizza while training in Lake Placid.
As for the Build a Bear I thought people were going to say he had a bear that a fan gave him in his image,I love that store by the way or should I say my girls do,I was there last week when we went to Seattle and got Larissa a pair of flip flops for Rissa bear and Natalie got a pair of pink sketchers for Natalie bear.
Next One~black socks

Black socks....what Apolo wore during the free style on DWTS, while Julianne wore low white ones. Funny, when I saw them dancing in person, Apolo had on white almost support hose, and Julianne had on black socks.............I hope you meant this as part of the game and not what your girls are buying next for their bearrs  Snowboarding........ |

One of the few things Apolo doesn't do well. Poor boy fell on his butt several times the first time he tried. Hopefully he's gotten better. Next: Sisyphus
