> [@Owen](#): > > A boom happened before without the greatest equipment lol But yoyo’s getting fancier with bearings and break pads drew a lot of people in including myself. Maybe not great compared to what we have now but it was greater than what was before it. ---

Yep, from fixed axle to transaxle and bearing was a huge leap. I remember getting my first cheapo transaxle that spins a lot longer than any yoyo I’ve ever had in that time which were all wooden, it was amazing. ---

Regardless, good marketing will sell almost anything. ---

> [@AngryGumball](#): > > Another concerning thing about the boom - other non yoyo companies will catch onto the “fad” and put out products serious players wouldn’t even think would try. Anyone remember way back during the 1990s boom of a yoyo called the E-Yo? It was put out by Tiger Electronics and had something that would read the RPMs of your throw. Yes I admit, I thought it was cool back then. But I was a kid as well and didn’t know any better. Not saying that Tiger E-Yo was any good, but I have fond memories of mine, and it’s the reason I got in to yoyoing. So while they were riding the coattails, the E-Yo did at least get someone into the game 8) Actually, I had that exact color of E-Yo and everything. I didn’t used to know how to throw a sleeper, but I did use the throw counter and tried to out do my high score of consecutive throws. I actually really liked that thing as a kid. ANYWAY. Like Steve said, I think the slow and steady pace we’ve been seeing recently is a good one. we are getting stellar products, the events are steadily getting bigger and bigger. I liked WYYC’s idea of having a level in the building (I’m guessing Tokyo used a multistory area for their comp) that had the stream on a large screen with product demos and all that for the public to look in to. That’s a really cool way to bring people in. Honestly, I’d prefer a niche with high quality product that is steadily released, rather than a gem being let out once in a blue moon for the thousands of people in one corner of the internet to fight over, or a mass produced poo storm of bad products to wade through with a whole bunch of fad kids to deal with when you yo-yo in public or have to pick through their posts on social media. You would also see the bootleg market spike if yo-yo popularity rose, as all of the fad kids would need to have a Draupnir or the newest CLYW release, etc… ---
