My cousin was wanting to try yoyoing, and so I decided to just give him a yoyo instead of his Mom buying him one. I really really do not like the Arrow, so it’s better with someone who can appreciate it more than me, and introduce them to the hobby. Gave them a YYF paper manual for tricks, and some string, I hope he sticks at it.
Who else has done something like this, and are they still throwing today?
I’ve given away quite a few. I actually buy yoyos specifically to give away. Kids mostly. I never seem to have any with me to give away when I met an adult interested.
