Call me Christian, man!
Ohh, I just havenât been on any forums lately. Too busy with school, work, and just my more-or-less choice of not going on YYE as often as I should. You know, life hits me like a brick.
Me playing my Yoyoskeel Syok in boarding school:
-Cool man thought yoyos are dead
-Can you do loop d loop, walk the dog or shoot the moon?
-Is it broken cause it doesnât come back?
-Why would you buy a $100 yoyo?
-How long have you been playing?
-Why does it spin so long?
List goes on man, but proud since most of my friends bought like fast 201, one and classic
I was yo-yoing while waiting for my brother and this girl asked me. âCan you do walk the dog? My brother has that stick candle toy(kendama) but he canât do walk the dogâŚâ I nodded. âYes I can,â And I showed her, I got a little irritated⌠But it wasnât really her fault. Then I thought back to what she said.
Did she mean yo-yo with the walk the dog part? That was confusing ._.
I honestly have NEVER been asked to walk the dog, but I guess everybody else does. My main ârequestâ isnât even a request at all. Iâll do, like, rock the baby or something and somebodyâll tell me, âoh my god! You should totally enter a contest! Youâd win 1st place for sure!â I know theyâre just being nice and donât know what theyâre talking about, it gets on my nerves a bit knowing dang well I could NEVER win a contest.
Same here. I always carry one YYF ONE with me. And funny thing, even with tricks like Walk the Dog, it looks almost new. Itâs black, maybe thatâs one reason, but it can handle a lot I tell you.
I really donât get why some of you guys get mad when someone asks you to âwalk the dogâ. They are trying to relate to you. Interaction is a good thing, at least they are interested. If they know âwalk the dogâ it means at some point they had a Yoyo. You can start a whole new conversation about modern yoyoing.
You kinda have to realize that at that moment you are the face of the yoyo community. They probably wont see any other yoyoers and whatever you do will leave an impression on that person. I am not saying you have to be this way or that way, do what you want. I like to talk to people who are interested, itâs more fun when you share.
