What if there were a yo-yo where if you broke through the ano from a drop or whatever, it was another color underneath? Or colors, almost like a jawbreaker, idk if that’s a good example or not lol. So instead of being like dang there’s a mark in my yoyo now, now it’s the start of something unique and a little artistic. Lotta obvious problems and reasons this probably couldn’t happen, but I’m just bored at work thinking about things other than work lol ---

Exactly! Maybe the yoyo starts out black/white/silver and from there the colors underneath vary. But how do you do that without making the yoyo a rock on a string because it has layers on layers of paint, and without necessarily promoting intentional damage to the yoyo? I mean I guess walking the dog on concrete is one thing but ya never know how people would be :joy: ---

So I have this problem where I can’t _just_ buy string. I have to buy something else or the cart doesn’t feel complete lol. Anyone else like this? Doesn’t necessarily have to be a yo-yo every time, but I’ll like look at CWs and bearings etc to add on to the order :joy: ---

Today I realized Sora’s the first person to podium at 3a Worlds outside of Hajime, Alex, Minato, Tomoya, and Hank in a decade. And only those first 4 have podium’d since 2015. Also Alex missed finals for the first time in over a decade, despite placing 2nd at the last worlds. 👀 [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/a/a/5aa5b3fe7ef1078db1249ac298a79aa3a1fab09a.jpeg " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfVzJav4KRo) ---

It is shocking how unique it plays. If I had to specify a single yoyo that has the most unique play “signature”, I would choose the Markmont Classic. OD and Markmont hit it out of the park. ---
