I have always wanted to do this for a long time, finally I did!  
Rizki’s Yoyos - “Ubiyo”

Material: Ubi (Javanese Yam)  
Weight: 49.53gram  
Diameter: 41mm  
Width: 36mm  
Gap width: 4mm  
Bearing: Stainless 8 ball (size C)  
Why: Because I can.

This is a long spinning yoyo, because I have thrown it couple of times but it still won’t spin, and I have waited for so long.  
This yoyo also have a lot of kickback, but still not enough to my liking. I think next time I will use platina iridium rings and D size bearing for more oomph on the kickback.

Soon enough, I just need to tweak the weight distribution a bit.

I think it has too much catch zone and not enough rim.

Yes it’s unresponsive.

I’ll consider broccoli hubstacks in the future, but I’m leaning towards carrots as they have more tensile strength and more aerodynamic for longer spin time.

All the Mr. Potato Head accessories should work on this and would be stronger than carrots.  
This topic should be moved to new manufacturers section.
