Perhaps not funny but I’ve heard: How much is something like that? (answer “it’s about blah blah dollars”) You paid how much? For a yoyo?

I’ve gotten these questions recently out in public;
Why do you have some many?
What is the best one?
How come it spins so long?
How do you make the string bend like that?
Why do you have two of them? (Playing 2A)
How do you do that?
Its made of metal?

Is that a rubber string?

Trying to think of the most common. Maybe “that must take a lot of practice,” or how long have you been doing that? Problem is neither is funny.

So about 6 months after I started, my Dad is between jobs and sees one of my Spinworthy throws. Out loud he states “I could make that!, And you’ve been doing this awhile- you know what the best shape is.” I tried explaining to him it’s all in the eye of the beholder, and he tried to argue that one must be superior and that I know what it is. The conviction. I could almost hear his blood boil while I gave him the right tool for the job analogy.

once i brought up yoyo competitions in front of a nonyoyoer and the following conversation arose.
is there really a yoyo competition?
yes.
is it, like, who can walk the dog best?
no, its much more complex. you get scored points for every time you hit the string. there’s much more rules then that but that’s the general idea.
wow, are you pretty good?
I’m decent, I went to one competition and got smoked though.
is there only one competition?
no there’s a lot. there’s the regional, state, national, and world competitions.
I bet you could win worlds.
what I’m thinking…
you didn’t listen to me at all, did you?

FYI, I’ve had every single one of these questions asked to me at least once before. except the red bull yoyo one. I’ve never had a yoyo with that colorway. its pretty sweet btw.

It is funny how things we think are second nature, can be something totally foreign to others.

Whenever I play responsive around others, no matter what tricks I do snap starts always get a “Whoa what was that one?!”

Most yoyo tricks beyond the beginner level will never impress anyone much except throwers. A lot of swinging around and around, throwing sideways blah blah blah blah etc. a well-executed rock the baby and your snap start will always please way more than a tangle-of-string trick.

I’m always glad when they show interest in yoyoing. Questions have to begin based on their knowledge, perception, experience of all things yoyo. I just find it funny that more of them don’t ask where they can get a super cool yoyo of awesomeness!
