Starting a new concept of making yo-yos out of not yo-yo things. First up is an apple yoyo. Hope y’all enjoy.

I mean…that’s pretty much as much as I can do with any of the yoyos I own…so I’mma call this a success!

@MarkD lol good idea
If anyone has ideas of what else to use I would love suggestions.
I must give credit to Tony Fisher and Jensen. Tony Fisher is a Rubik’s cube modifier who has been around forever. He has been making cube’s out of food lately. I talked to Jensen about this a few weeks ago. Then recently the a-rt insta posted a photo of a butter yoyo. I talked to him again about it and the idea of doing this came up.
Take one of apple yoyo never worked. Had to get a dowel.

NOT a new concept! This was done about 8-10 years ago and had a very lengthy thread. I just can’t remember if it was on YYN or YYE.

I also remember when it was going on that Alchemy started making special SPR’s that would basically attach to anything to make it a bearingized yoyo!

Looks interesting. Might have to track one down. Sticking with fixed axle for now.
Ahhhh…that was it Garrett!!! I remember people making yoyo’s out of potatoes and fruits etc.

Dude it even has starburst response. I think you just need to widen the gap

Wait, cut the ends of the apple and flip it to a butterfly shape rather then an imperial. The cuts and the ends will give it walls

If that apple was certified organic, then you’d really have an organic yoyo.
