thanks guys. it was a long (but great) year. there’s no chance i woulda been able to do it if spyy hadn’t made me the best wood yo-yo ever. that really made it a lot easier. thanks to those of you who followed it and lent support. it was awesome. here’s kind of my year in review vid (cut from all my [365■■■■■■■■■■.com](http://365yoyotricks.com) stuff) [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/9/a/b9a3bc6700b6626f73c59f52ca899fdcff9b1e8f.webp "56 YoYo Tricks") ](https://vimeo.com/56537319) ---

> [@Coffelt](#): > > Just have to ask Ed what was the “first” second yoyo you threw? i threw one of my purple ronins. i had been staring at it for weeks. after that… amplifier, dynamo, orbitron, ranchero (all the spyy’s i missed out on last year), some 2a, some old no jives, and the new tmbr’s that came out. i’ve honestly probably thrown 50-60 yoyo’s in 36 hours. it’s great… but i also got that little 2-yoyo holder from yoyoexpert, so the ‘eh’ is still going with me wherever. ---

What was your very first feeling when you threw a unresponsive Spyy yoyo after for one full year throwing Fixed Axle? And what were your thoughts that followed after that? ~Z ---

And what were your thoughts that followed after that? > > ~Z honestly, dude… it was something like “this is so loud”, which felt pretty ridiculous, even at the time. but i felt like i was going to wake up the kids. after a few minutes though, it just felt surreal, like tricks that i’d invented this year that felt really hard i could do without even focusing. and just the smoothness is still really taking me aback. you can’t feel the yo-yo spinning like you can with wood, which makes it feel kind of like running with your feet asleep at first. it’s funny. whenever i walk into ‘the yo-yo room’, i’m so used to fighting temptation that my automatic reaction to walking by my cases is still like ‘nope. can’t do that. not yet.’ it’s like i haven’t fully processed the idea of ‘uh… sure you can! go for it!’ edit: also… POST 666!!!
