So, as you might know, I have a 7 year old brother who also yoyos.
I have a huge collection and I don’t let my brother try all my expensive yoyos due to a chance of an interaction with the ground. So anyways, I thought it was time for me to get him so yoyos that he would like. I go over to my friend’s house, he has a pretty awsome collection. I go there, say hi, go to his room, yoyo for a bit, and ask him if he has anything he wants to get rid of. He said “Ya, I have a Speeder, want it?” I said “yes”. He has 3 of them, and the other two are for 3a, so he didn’t want this one. I asked him how much and he’s like “30 bucks?”, I’m really exited inside. Of course I couldn’t pass up this deal, so I say yes, pull 30 bucks out of my wallet and take the Speeder home. I hang at his house until I have to go. When I got back, I was hiding the Speeder, I wanted it to be a surprise. ;D I try to think of an excuse to get out of the house, and I say " Mom, I’ll be outside making a yoyo video", she says ok. I wanted to clean the bearing, satin finish it, and shave the O-ring, so I do that. When I come home, I find my brother sleeping on the couch, he was tired from an early soccer game. And my parents were at the pool. So I go in my room, find an old shoe box, and make a yoyo case for him. I get a piece of foam and carve out holes for the yoyos, make a strap so it goes around his neck, and organize it. I put all the yoyos he had in it, a F.A.S.T. 201 and a Velocity, and of course, his Speeder. I can finnaly clean this up! Then I wake up my brother and show him everything, he was exited!!! . Just now I took some pics so I could share with you guys:

I mainly did this because I love him :-* ; And he deserves it. He was really jelaous of me before this. I never really had the time to do something like this during scool so I did it now. I also got an 888 arriving for him so he is really pumped up.
