Confessions of Yoyoers

[UsagiCat]

I was curious how bearing lube tasted…

@PatCondon

My conditions for ever owning a General Yo has been to wail it on the ground to give it vibe. I traded for a Hattrick once, smashed it on the ground, and traded it off again later that day for something more worthwhile that what I started with.

um why?

@Rixtify

Also my birthday is on May 16, 1999. I’m 15, and I’m gonna be a senior. I skipped a few grades. Does that count as a confession XD

wow, you have the exact birthdate I do… That’s odd. Anyway, my confession is that I prefer plastic/delrin yoyos to metal.

@LinksLegionaire

I murdered my baby brother and buried him in the backyard. Later the dog dug him up. My parents are still paying for therapy, but it’s for them.

This thread got dark so quickly and no one even batted an eye.Lol

Lol’d at usagi.

I almost always rinse off my hands prior to throwing any of my yoyos.

[Nemyo (Owen)]

Forgive me father, for I have sinne-

oops, wrong kinda confession.

[jasonwongzero (Anodizer)]

I actually prefer plastics.

[SloppyBinds]

I only know a handful of the tricks from the trick list after 4 years of throwing. I don’t know most tricks by name.

Oh, I failed kindergarden once and pre-algebra twice, and the only (jr) college course I passed/completed was weight lifting.

@Steve Brown

If I get a new yoyo that I REALLY love, I’ll Walk the Dog with it to get the rims good and scuffed.

If it plays like crap after I scuff the rims, I’ll write off that model as unreliable forever and never get another one.

Haha, I love it! ‘Walk the dog or walk on home yoyo!’ A good test I think.

Wat.

I own more high-end metals than the number of weeks I’ve been yo-yoing. I call it “I-want-all-the-yoyos” syndrome, and it’s really hard on my wallet.

@DrAwesome

um why?

Because they feel hollow and heartless when you can’t feel them spinning.

Wow there’s a curveball! :o

[LegitTurtle]

@shen703

I sometimes pretend all yoyo’s have feelings and I throw all of them so they don’t feel abandoned.

Lol I do that to.

I guess that makes sense.

Yeah, having been in the whole anodizing business and being a somewhat serious collector, I am always super scared of dinging yoyos. With plastics, I never worry about the yoyo, so I can just toss them around and have fun.

Also if I’m wearing a nice watch, I won’t throw metal, only plastic.

I guess I should clarify that I prefer plastics for throwing.

[theguitarplayer]

I have been yoyoing for three years and have owned only 6 yoyos.

3 classics
a one
hitman pro
hayabusa

That’s actually kind of cool.

[once_upon_a_paul]

1. I sanitize used YoYos that I acquire via trade with rubbing alcohol before throwing
2. I refer to some of my favorite throws by pet names such as “shmookems” and “pookie”
3. (Non-yoyo related confession) I can’t stand cotton balls

Yes!

• I name my favorite yoyos… I find a current association occurring around the time it was purchased.

• I am inconsistent with my throws and often bomb the simplest tricks. I have plateaued at Buddhas revenge…

[PerspectiveDesigns]

I haven’t replaced the string on my Summit in 4 months and I still yoyo every day with it.

I might change it now XD

I replace my string every day, or rarely every other day…

And it’s not that I’m OCD about it, but it gets all frayed and dirty. And my hands are clean :o

That’s with Blueprint and Kitty Fat
