I have finally hit myself in the head with my yo yo for the first time. I’m just grateful that it’s a plastic one. This is like, an initiation right, right?
Seriously, though, you are most certainly a thrower. I’d say you became one the minute you picked up a yoyo and thought, “I like this and will continue to do it!”.
Knots do suck, but after a few months you’ll be fantastic at tying and untying them. That experience may come in handy if you ever find yourself stranded on a boat, you know!
Strings are cheap… Get one knot, oh well, just play with it, 2 knots, its still doable, 3 knots… Strings are cheap, replace it… I mean… That’s my system xD
Now that’s just if I cant untie a knot in 30 seconds to a minute
Haha, I remember one of my first yoyo string had like 20 knots in it XD
I showed it to a yoyoer, he just took it, threw it away and gave me his because he couldn’t stand it , lol
Yea, that’s how I was when I first started throwing and didnt have any of my own money… But now I have an allowance and I mow lawns in my neighborhood for money one lawn can get me 100 strings and then some so yea
If you can take them out with your fingers, great! But some are too tight, so you can’t. I play with 1 knot, but once I get two, I undo them with a toenail clipper XD I have one only for strings… Lol, I know it weird
I usually don’t get knots in my string much anymore, but every now and then I get one around the bearing on those random ones you get when you bind weirdly. those I pick with a sewing needle.
edit: also took a duncan metal zero to the face 30 minutes before i left to club two months ago. painful and horrible idea trying horizontal on a zero
Omg yes, I do that all the time! Like I’ve littersly done that like 20 times, when I throw a breakaway and have a knot (the type where you can’t throw it) and I dodge it allllll the time. After those, I get scared to throw it hard…
