I try to change what yoyos I use, swap styles for a bit, or learn a new trick often or else I get kind of board. Exactly the same reason I like to have a variety of yoyos, so I feel like I’m not doing the same thing over again whenever I practice. I’ll throw anywhere though… but maybe with a plastic for 5a over concrete. ---

Just anywhere like Q said. I just pick up whatever I feel like throwing, put my glove on and practice some new tricks and smoothen out others I’m working on at the moment. ---

I love throwing outside except now when its like 10 degrees outside. 😛 I usually just throw, but every once and a while play some music, usually like rave/electronic songs. ---

If I had a choice(Which I don’t), I would prefer a nice open space (preferably one that takes 1 minute to get from one side to another) that is quiet and peaceful. Also, I prefer nice solid concrete ground, as playing on grass makes me feel off-balance. ---
