Still using bathysphere
And have a cenote on the way

I did this! Almost threw a different yoyo in my dreams but I remembered the challenge :sunglasses:

This was always more of a personal challenge than a competition. There’s no real ā€œlosingā€ especially; as Cody said, if you gained some insight. :wink:

no, i absolutely feel like i gained from the experience. insights were definitely gained. i feel like if it were a contest and simply a test of willpower i know i could refrain, but like you said its more a personal challenge and i always told myself if i stopped having fun id drop out. I’m playing yoyo to have fun after all :grin:

That’s a mighty fine trapeze stall you have yourself there.

Still righty?

Correct, Still righty.

Landed this after about the 1000th try. Asked my wife, Hey can you take a picture of this?

Eye roll, ā€œSureā€. (Translation: I dont want too and I think its stoopid, but ill do it.)

When she was getting my phone out of my pocket, I dropped the Trapeeze stall.

I say never mind. She makes a sound that doesnt have words to describe other than frustration and annoyance.

So this picture is ā€œStaggedā€.

You can see the dissatisfaction on my face.

But the shirt looks good!

Day 13 - I’ve fallen.

The culprit: Blackout Wraith

And the other throws waiting to be played.

The pile of mail days collecting dust in the corner and a sprinkle of existential crisis didn’t help. I realized I was ready to mix things up. I’m confident I would have lasted longer if I had chosen the Kushmaxx instead of the Gnome. The Gnome is excellent, but the Kush is more fun for me. So I sacrificed fun for function but realized I wasn’t progressing with finger spins as planned. The humidity and lack of a fingernail(I’m working on it) impeded my progress.

I’ve realized I enjoy having various throws to experience, and I don’t need to start culling my collection. I love playing with five different throws during a 30-minute time span. That’s what I enjoy. But now, occasionally, I may choose one throw, only use it for a day, and learn to appreciate it for its uniqueness.

Godspeed to everyone still throwing their One July.

They weren’t thrown by me of course. Had some string time with the kids.

ā€œDaddy, throw that one!ā€

I cant, but you can.

ā€œYes Please!ā€

I noticed that I’m not on the list if you would so kind as to add me. I have been throwing gen2 54 since it came in on the 2nd. I am planning on throwing until August 2nd. If I can make it. The metal Harbinger and my Bathysphere are taunting me.

I will get you added. Thanks for letting me know.

Sorry July, I’ve failed. Got too many new throws from the 4th sales. G2 Galaxy Diver, G2 Grunt, OD Kraken, and I have a Canopy AL on the way. Too much temptation. I will say the OD 54 gen 2 was very good for almost 2 weeks.

2 weeks is pretty good. I’ve been really questioning my resolve. I don’t know if I want to keep doing this. I’m still in though.

That’s the nice thing about this challenge if you don’t like it you can stop and no harm

I am back home in the Houston area. We had to evacuate east. I did take my No Jive but not much throwing. We didn’t have much with us and we were pretty well roughing it.
