Changes: CLYW to CLYW

p.s. New BvMs would be really cool. Tweak it a bit maybe if you must. (I like the OG though)

hehe artwork and packaging is already done before the BvM Round 2 design is done. Working on it! Did the same thing with the Chief too once upon a time. So not a bad thing i guess.

Ill probably never own a CLYW yoyo. Ill probably never be good enough for me to feel I can justify spending that much on a single yoyo. That being said, your brand image is a delight, your videos are always fun, your enthusiasm catching. Your display of appreciation and modesty made me smile. May your success continue

I always put it in context with my other pursuits and hobbies. And, honestly, my wife’s. If she can burn through $120 per pair of shoes every three months as a long-distance runner, I don’t feel bad spending the same for an activity I’m really enjoying, and the yoyo is going to last far longer, create more sentiments (if it’s the right one!), and stands alone as an interesting “object” (whether you go as far as to call it “art” or not is another story, but it’s certainly a cool “thing”).

I’m into guitar. $120 won’t get you a good guitar or even a truly playable one.

Besides, that’s what holidays and birthdays are for. With any luck, I’ll be getting a SPYY or CLYW for Christmas this year.

You said it yourself, though-- you have to justify it to yourself. But it shouldn’t be about your skill level. You don’t have to “earn” the right to an expensive toy by being good with it. You just need to meet two criteria:

1. You feel it will add to your enjoyment, period. At your current level. I would enjoy having a premium throw, even though I suck.

2. You can afford it. Let’s face it, it’s still a toy. Nobody should go broke for a toy. But my wife and I give ourselves an “allowance” of money that we can spend on whatever the heck we want. So if I make that spend, it’s from money that’s already budgeted as “fun” money. No guilt!

But I ramble… my only point is that only you can decide if spending on a CLYW is right for you, but it shouldn’t hinge on your skill level.

I can’t argue with any of your points. Maybe one of these days I’ll take the plunge and see what all the excitement is about

I skated Zero.

I was obsessed with ZERO!!! Jamie Thomas … best skater ever… (leap of faith)

anyways … I kinda went through a similar thing … but always came back to CLYW … but I also have several other throws from different companies … but always keep enough CLYW to keep my appetite satisfied lol
