Funny things nonyoyoers say

A young child at the park saw me yoyoing and finally built up the courage to come up to me and ask:

“Is that a doorknob?”

“Can I try?”
puts yoyo on their pointer finger without a slipknot

lets yoyo drop from hand, spinning the wrong way

tries to wind the yoyo by rotating the string around the bearing

dings your shutter on tile floor trying desperately to tug it up

thinks you’re world champion level after seeing your combos

Heard this a few weeks ago: “Is that a yoyo? I haven’t seen one of those in a long time!”

Dude, I think your yoyo is broken. It won’t go back up when I pull on it.

Ew. I’d never even let someone touch any of my yoyos without showing them how it works. It only takes 2 seconds for them to sneak the loop over their pointer finger and throw that yoyo and smash it on the ground. Even if it’s a responsive yoyo - you know it’s gonna hit the floor.

At times i wish i could record patients in my office. But that’s against Hippa regulations so no way… never fear.

I work in the West Village N.YC.
I talk to my patients about my hobbies…i have many and it beats talking about politics. They are ALL fascinated by the yoyo world in a good way… by far they prefer to watch @edhaponik throw Fixed axel then watch any speed combo. You have background…

My patient is on the table and she asked me what’s the difference between responsive/ unresponsive yoyos. Earlier She was admiring my Knack and Deep state and noticed they where different then the other 30 in the display i had so i explained that they are responsive yoyos. I go onto explain that the main difference is that a unresponsive won’t come back e.t.c… but that it also has a benefit of sliding along the string in both directions regardless or the spin direction more easily then the other 2.

She replies “obviously cause you’re a Swinger”.

I thought that was funny.

I shared a video with my web designer because i am pretty proud of this trick. I was throwing the Aotus by MFD.

I sometimes Yo-Yo around my Grandmother and she has Macular Degeneration, but her peripheral vision is relatively good. She always tells me " You are getting real good with that ball""
