On today’s menu,
we have my cherished childhood memories of all shapes and sizes, starting with:
YoYoFactory Cypher: WYYC 2014 Prague Special Edition
Some history:
I was very much a YYF fanboy, bought this at release and used it of course, it sat in storage for a few years as will be the tale with the other yoyos on this post. I got back into it recently and recovered most of the meaningful throws in my collection. It’s time for me to part with most of these as my tastes have changed. Enjoy the memories attached to these you energy vampires!
It was a very loved yoyo when I last used it, thus the dings and scuffs.
The thing still plays like a beast though! minimal finger nail vibe that’s quite negligible on the string.
YoYoFactory Horizon: Matte Red
This Horizon isn’t as scuffed up as the cypher but it still has its fair share of dings and scuffs nonetheless. This is a first run release matte red, it’s served me well and deserves to be thrown! (like a yoyo..)
and it goes without saying (although im gonna preach it) this thing is still impeccably fun to play with!! Like the Cypher, this also has MINIMAL finger nail vibe and is negligible on the string.
Spin Test: Horizon
YoYoFactory G Funk: Blue/Silver Acid Wash
This was consistently my favorite throw, I didn’t bother to include a spin test vid because its just solid all around. This thing is basically the Super G’s homunculus. It’s tiny but has the same shape and a nice weight to it. Super stable and spins long.
Scuffs and all the works as per usual, and again, very minimal finger nail vibe that’s negligible on the string.
look at that shape !
This guy is still a reliable throw and a personal favorite of mine for its packability and premium feel.
YoYoFactory Metal Replay Pro: Matte Red
This thing is is excellent condition aside the wear and tear of time, I didn’t use it as much as the aforementioned so it’s in significantly better condition with no dings or scuffs other than the paint wearing and some pinpricks
Impossible… It can’t be, no dings !!
Zero vibe such a clean throw with a lovely weight.
And That’s All Folks!
TRADE OFFERS
These are definitely more for the collectors of the BST forums, thus I’m really hoping to trade for some throws that are equally rare or more in line with my current interests but I’m pretty open considering the state of some of these.
I’m looking for some boutique yoyos from brands such as:
- Atmos Projects
- G2
- Aufheben
- Luftverk
- A-RT
- Turning Point
- Even OD or CLYW
I’m also willing to sell of course, so shoot some reasonable offers if interested!
Just to reiterate, most of these have minimal finger nail vibe that really isn’t present on the string. Have scuffs, others dings and the replay is clean.
Thanks !
