i would say Yoyofactory. I love EVERY yoyofactory yoyo i have ever played with, my collection is (excluding 2-3) entirely yoyofactory, and my first yoyo was a firedog, soon replaced by a whip (which i still have to this day).

All in all, i LUUUUUUV yoyofactory as a whole 😃

So hold up, let me see if I understand,

you dont want to go to Europe, arguebly the most interesting collection of places in the world, to yoyo, arguebly the most interesting toy in the world, right? Because I just want to make sure this is on the record in case you ever do get sponsored by a company that wants to fly you out to Europe for free to make a yoyo video.

I wouldn’t mind being sponsored by anyone, really. I enjoy most yoyos and I like endorsing stuff. Seems like everyone likes YYF, CLYW, OD, so I imagine those would be the hardest to get into.

In Zorro’s defence… travel can be a drag. I have to go to Vegas mid-April and errbody goes, “What do you mean ‘have to’?? It’s VEGAS, BABY!” and I’m all “eehhhhh… yeah.”

+1. My job (which is almost as cool as being a sponsored yoyo thrower) requires a lot of travel. On average between 75 and 100 nights away from home a year. Travel gets old, and often, while I get to go to cool places (Europe, Seattle, Boston, NYC) time is spent in hotel, at customer site or convention center…

Travel for work is still work, it does give great opportunity, but unlike vacation, your time isn’t completely yours.

To answer the original question, I’d be happy for any company to want to sponsor a middle aged, intermediate skilled me

One Drop or CLYW. My two favorite companies. To me, they’re more about friends/family. They both seem to have players who don’t compete or rarely compete, but are respected by the yoyo community. I’m not into competing, nothing wrong with it, just not for me. I was very competitive growing up and I’m better off without that aspect in my life. So I’d rather be that guy who helps promote their products, be a part of the “family,” and help them grow.

I guess I also really respect One Drop and CLYW as companies also, it doesn’t seem to be 100% about the business, which is why I believe both are successful.

Tropic spins or Spin Dynamics, because they’re both local companies, and my agoraphobia won’t act up when I need to go to semi local contests
