Hei I Wanna buy a new yoyo soon, but i dont know what sort of yoyo I should choose. I want 888x, 888 classic and superstar, but dont know which of them i should choose.
I just have one yoyo and that is my dark magic, but i want to move on and try a new yoyo. I am good at slack and whips Ok at string trick, but not so good at grinds, so what do you think I should buy?
Sorry for my bad english. I come from norway.

Your english was better than most people on this forum that live in the U.S. :wink:
Which 888 are you talking about when you say 888 classic? There are several different years in that.
What are some of your preferences? Do you want a small yoyo for a large yoyo? Round or h-shape? If you don’t know, you’ll just have to pick to try them out.

The 2007 version of the classic one. As I said I Only have one yoyo, and have tried one yoyo so I dont now what fits best for me. I want a yoyo thats sleep for a long time so I can do long string tricks like skin the gerbil. It has to be unresponsive of course so I can do whips. An thumb grind would be fine but not needed. Any advise what I should by.

Well, any yoyo, made these days especially, can sleep longer than you would probably ever need. Also, you don’t need unresponsive to do any tricks. Name a trick and I bet it can and has been done with a responsive yoyo.
I would personally recommend that you get a few plastics with different specs, then maybe a low end metal so that you can get a feel for some different metal as well as some different shapes and sizes and stuff.

Skin the gerbil is pretty fast,
why all the expensive yoyos?
Try a fundametal, cheap and they work, or a protostar, or a metal rimmed yyj, the list goes on.

Laceration? Ninja Vanish? Whips??? LOL 😃
But almost every yoyo can fulfill your requirements. You have a DM. Why do you want to change yoyos? Is it because the dark magic is too \_\_\_\_\_\_ (fill in the blank)? If we know what you don’t want, then maybe we can find out what you want.

All can be done. Mrcnja loves Ninja Vanish on Proyos. I can easily do lacerations on freshly-siliconed-small-gapped SFHGs. Whips, well, talk to ed about those, but he does them like crazy on No-Jives.
