I’m Wayne (Wayno) from Australia, and I’m in my mid-50s. I first picked up a yoyo back in the 1980s, when yoyo competitions were sponsored by a major U.S. drinks manufacturer. Winners took home Russell yoyos and merch. I was lucky enough to have an older brother who won a few yoyos and strings, and he passed one on to me. I spent a few months throwing and loving every minute of it.
Recently, my son received a yoyo as a Christmas gift. After having a few throws myself, I decided to buy a Duncan Hornet. Instantly, it brought back that childlike bliss—muscle memory kicked in, and a few tricks came back naturally. I can’t believe something so simple can bring so much joy.
Now I get to share this experience with both of my boys—one a teenager and the other 10 years old—and that makes it even more special.
I am investigating bearing technology and have the capability to 3d print and plan on building a home made design.
This is such a common occurrence. I have said to many people that if they really enjoyed it when they were younger, then it will instantly bring back that same joy, but as an adult it’s even more magical. Welcome
You’re not alone. When I was younger, I thought txtspeak was the way of the future and I had no compunctions about sharing the way of the future with everyone.
I still think it’s a valid evolution of language, but there’s a time and a place to use it and how far you go with respect to enshortening a word.
