so i was trying to learn a new whip trick today and for some reason i couldnt get the string to hook in the yoyo at all ??? then i realized that my ceiling fan was blowing my string away :o my advice to all yoyoers- never yoyo near a fan (one time i smacked my DM2 into the glass part of my fan). talk about life and death situation ---

It’s kind of annoying to yoyo when it’s windy… It makes it really hard to do some of my favorite tricks. ---

Get a metal yoyo and learn to throw SUPER strong. If your fan is wood, maybe you’ll win! That and some of that kevlar string they are selling here! I have somewhat high ceilings in my house, or at least they seem high. The one good room to practice in has a fan in it. The other area has too much stuff in it. Outside, the patio cover is too low. Around the world would be a loud bang on the aluminum patio cover! ---

I went to eli hop at work the other day and after the first hop, I looked up to see that the break room light was just inches from where my yoyo popped up towards…lower ceiling… Moral of the story: ceilings are bad for yoyos…and trees are too…I went to do an Around the World when the tree ate my yoyo much like the Kite-Eating Tree from the peanuts. ---

I was doing some forward passes when my kid decided “hey, now would be a good time to spring towards Daddy…” It ALMOST did not end well. Yanked the yoyo back, almost smacked myself in the face and then the wife gets mad at me. So, add KIDS to that list too! My pug dogs got it figured out: yoyos mean no lap time. Stay away!
