Separate thread to find a SPYY Stryker. Please reunite me with my long lost
I remember seeing @addiction77 get one, but that was a couple years ago, he might not have it anymore.
I did have one, but it was a star grade one, and I donât have it any longer sadly.
Best of luck - I was trying to find one for several years - they donât show up too often. Same with the Spyder. Both fantastic throws.
Do you have one? ![]()
I have one but it does have some damage
Shoot me some pics!
I do, not for sale though, regularly gets love from me after the several years of trying (and tryingâŚand trying more) to find one.
Bump!
It appears that @reverend has changed the landscape of the B/S/T foreverâno more shall âBumpsâ be uninteresting or uneventful, but rather shall they bring us joy and laughter in their midst.
It must live on ![]()
This little story wonât help youâŚ. But itâs worth a free bump..
Waaay back when the Stryker was released, I got one directly from Steve Buffel. It was in that exact colorway.
Excellent yo-yo, even way back then.
But, since I had plenty of yo-yos, a good number of them donât get much play.
There was a guy several years ago, that was seriously looking for the same Stryker.
After seeing his LF for weeks, I decided to find mine and throw it around.
It really refreshed my memory about how good it was.
To me, in an abstract kinda way, yo-yos are like Pets. You really like a Pet, but your work/travel schedule is so hectic, you just donât have quality time to give the Pet.So you try to Re-home it. You donât just want to unload the Pet on anybody. You want to give the a pet to a person or family that will pay attention to it for a better life.
So I decided my âPet Strykerâ could be rehomed and spin into the future.
I contacted the guy and told him I had one. He was thrilled and a few day later, it was his.
âŚ.. Never heard a thing from him since, lol.
I donât âregretâ re-homing the Stryker. But I honestly didnât think I would actually âmiss itâ so much.
And to this day, I still think it was/is one of the most âStrykingâ colorways ever. I never would have guessed how much character you could get out of a black and white-ish finish.
Good luck⌠if I run into another one, I will certainly contact youâŚ
Very very well said! This is the exact reason Iâm on the hunt for one, and i definitely regret getting rid of mind way back when. The Stryker was pretty much my childhood holy grail of throws. Thank you yoyodoc!! I really appreciate it.
Bump
