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 don’t have it any longer sadly.

Best of luck - I was trying to find one for several years - they don’t show up too often. Same with the Spyder. Both fantastic throws.

It appears that @reverend has changed the landscape of the B/S/T forever–no more shall “Bumps” be uninteresting or uneventful, but rather shall they bring us joy and laughter in their midst.

This little story won’t help you
. But it’s 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 don’t 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 don’t have quality time to give the Pet.So you try to Re-home it. You don’t 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 ‘Pet Stryker’ 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.


.. Never heard a thing from him since, lol.

I don’t ‘regret’ re-homing the Stryker. But I honestly didn’t think I would actually ‘miss it’ so much.

And to this day, I still think it was/is one of the most ‘Stryking’ 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 you

Very very well said! This is the exact reason I’m 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.
