Do you yo-yo in public, have you ever met anyone else throwing in public?

Yup, Mark was right, 100% was Ky Zizan.

Wowzers! I’m so impressed I’m joining Instagram just so I can put a ā€œlikeā€ on that. Also I need to have another kid so I can name it Lando Finkel. Thanks for sharing that.

Went to the ocean today(last time I was too shy to throw) and threw down. Not gonna lie it was awesome. Even landed McBride’s on the one string.

I thought you might be yo-yoing with your feet in the surf, which sounds awesome.

No, I was on my way to a friend’s house and we were like an hour and a half late…
but I noted the Little Caesars it was and will probably get a chance to go back and find the person :smiley:

I was throwing my TiVayder this morning while waiting in line at the water bill office, and the guy standing behind me I was like

ā€œwoah, I used to be really into yo-yos when I was in high school back in the late 90s. That’s so cool I haven’t seen anyone play with one in so long!ā€

Sad thing is, I didn’t get to really respond to his comment because the lady called me up to the counter right as he was telling me this.

I wanted to tell him that I plan on putting together a local yoyo club soon. :confused:

Anyway, I thought that was pretty cool.

I feel this. This past weekend I happened to meet a world champion and a couple of national level competitors, who then asked me how long I have been yoyoing (a year), and then it’s just like, do I even try to yoyo right now? Lol
I know it’s just yoyos, but crap that’s a little intimidating to a newbie

I was playing while on a field trip with my kid’s school, and the guides said it was a shame Joe wasn’t there today, since he is an active yo-yoer. Hours later when we are leaving I see a former student from a few years back, and can’t quite remember his name. I ask him, and he says ā€œJoe. Is that a yo-yo?!ā€

Oh I forgot to mention, when my family were in Zion, we were filming yoyo videos on the Angel’s Landing trail, and a LOT of people crowded around to watch, one guy shouted ā€œOh look! it’s a Duncan!ā€ it was pretty funny, I got a round of applause at the end too, lol.

I remember sometime last year I went to Chicago with family and I was throwing on the sidewalk. A guy who was skateboarding came up to me and said he used to throw a couple years back. He said he used to have a shutter so I let him try mine, and he knew how to do double or nothing and stuff.
Also a friend of mine at school randomly turned out to be a yoyoer who stopped a few years back and I got him back into it, so that’s cool.

I was having a vacation to Singapore and then I went to this park. I came there to enjoy the morning before I left and I decided to throw my Marco. Then a small crowd saw me playing and thought I was performing. When I headed back to my hotel I met this kid who told me I was great and he asked if he could try. Having just gotten a hold of the Marco days ago, I knew that I probably can’t trust anyone with it. Luckily, I had actually brought a Wedge in case I wanted to do some 5a, but also serving as an emergency throw in case someone wants to try yoyoing. The kid thought my Wedge was broken because it can’t come up. It’s always quite fun seeing beginners try to figure out what is wrong with a yoyo even though nothing’s wrong XD
