Now you are talking about “The day” 🙂

And what about that price? Yeah; that is the day for sure.

My “Back in Day” was 88-89 in the 8th grade.

It was a crappy Duncan Imperial. No battles, just friends learning tricks.

This thread made me think about those times. We thought we were cool when Roses and Maxway’s started carrying those jeweled Duncan.

I remembered my first trade. Can’t remember what I gave up but I got a Duncan MelYo Dee. It was blue and wow was it junk thinking about now.

I couldn’t find any pictures, but I did find this Duncan commercial on YouTube.

I’m with you. I thought the 60’s and 70’s were the day

My family learned how to yoyo on Spintastic wood axle Technics in our yoyo club led by Val herself, late 90’s. My son ran for 4th grade class President. On speech day, he stepped up on the stage, did a short yoyo routine, then said his name. He won by a landslide.
