On another note I can’t believe u beat him in prelim finals 0.0! I even beat Ann Connolly! I was right above her 🙂 Which contest was this at? Anyway, try to convince your parents to let you buy them by convincing them that yoyoing is a worthy hobby. If you have the money and they still won’t let you buy them, why are they not letting you? ---

Good news! The rule has been abolished. Your reasoning was enough and she let my buy 1 yoyk and tons of gear at BAC. I also get 2 more yoyos! 1 potentially at Worlds, and 1 for Christmas. You guys are the best! ---

> [@YoYoJordan](#): > > It’s been going on for a while. My mom had decided to limit my yoyo purchases to 1 yoyo a year. Ive been throwing for 5 years and have been placing relatively high in prelims recently. Since 2011, she’s made me buy only once a year. Every yoyoer including Eric Koloski don’t think this is fair. What are your opinions? How can I convince my mom? they are wise. You’ll save more money. ---

I know your problem has been solved but you should try to teach her to yoyo. Maybe she’ll appreciate them more. And it sounds cool to yoyo with your own mom ---

She taught me rock the baby, around the world, walk the dog, etc. All the essentials to get me kickstarted! It’s worth a try though, it would be a way for us to connect more! ---

Well im on a similar thing i can only get one maby 2 yoyos a year but my mom just thinks all yoyos are the same thats why i cant buy to many. but if I show her that a yoyo i want has some new feuture none of my other yoyos have she will usually let me get it a long as i pay for it with my own money. so its not so bad but im 14 years old and Ive been yoyoing for 2 years and ive ombly got 8 yoyos and i really want more but thats the way it is i guess oh i forgot 2 yoyos a year not including off string yoyos because they all ways seem to have problems with spacers and axels ect. so i am alowed to replace them and stll get other yoyos ---

It’s MYYY money, but they won’t let me spend it on yoyos. Toys R Us lol Freehands are really cheap and all you have to do is take out one friction sticker They also have the New C bearing Mavericks (Unresponsive) at toys r us So just ask her to take you there and get a few cheap ones that look nice ---
