Yes, but it depends on the pipe and the yoyo. Generally though, even if it does scratch your yoyo, it probably won’t do any significant damage. ---

I’m going to add that I don’t think Tyler really cares. It looks cool and he is sponsored. ---

Honestly it will damage your yoyo. Their is no way it’ll not leave a mark on your yoyo. I mean sometimes you’ll get lucky and not get a single mark on your yoyo on Some type of Solids. My house is a Wooden Floored Base [Atleast my room is] and When i hit my yoyo on the floor it dosent do damage. one time it fell out of my hands while spinning and it ended up giving it some scuffs. So If you dont mind your Yoyo being Not Mint Anymore [Or More Damaged] Go for it. But it will damage your yoyo to answer your question.
