The view or the yoyo? :joy:

This trail is actually next to my house but I hadn’t been out in a few weeks so it felt good. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

For those who may have missed it, this yoyo is actually called the :sweat_droplets:Puddle Jumper​:sweat_droplets:. BlueJay​:feather: is my personal EDC proto and the name is an homage to Blueberry:blueberries:, my very well loved RBC.

The Puddle Jumper prototypes have turned out excellently, and I just received the newest v3 mr85-sized bearing blank prototypes in the mail this week. They are also :fire:. So far everything is coming together nicely. :clap:

I will be rolling out more details over the next year and currently planning for a Summer 2027 release. :crossed_fingers::call_me_hand:

I was thinking that TC’s copter in Magnum was named “Puddle Jumper.” But close. I think his business was “Island Hoppers…” Dang. Now I’m dreaming of a yo yo with coloring inspired by TC’s copter/van… No way I could not buy that if I saw it!

Yeah. Puddle Jumper is what Colonel Shepard called the ships that the Ancients used to fly through the Stargates and into space and underwater and stuff. :smiley::rofl:

Drill it out and glue a wooden axle into it! I did that with my broken one and it plays great!

How many broke college kids do you know with the hardware needed for all that?

I know that college has some sort of wood shop in it… right?

90% sure you needs to be enrolled in the respective program/society for that

Perhaps you could befriend someone in the wood shop and present them with a challenge. :smiley:
