Modern Responsive

I want the flat earth. Sadly I pulled the trigger on some cool stuff already and have to wait and hope it’s still available next month…

There was an IG post: Rain City Skills on Instagram: "The Flat Earth drops Thursday May 16th! I'm not going to get into the terrible conspiracy going around suggesting that the earth is a sphere that somehow magically doesn't just fling us off into space, I'll let you go do the research yourself. I mean, imagine a spherical yoyo, that would just be silly! Like the Earth, we shaped this yoyo with a wide flat disk, surrounded by a raised lip, reflecting the great ice wall that surrounds our earth. And if you believe all of that, I've got a bridge to sell you ;) But instead I'm going to sell you this fantastic modern responsive slimline yoyo! It drops at 5:00 PM on Thursday exclusively at RainCitySkills.com. We're offering 3 Production colourways Earth - Green/gold Sea/sky- blue/blue Night Sky - Black/gold We'll also have a handful of the solid blue prototype available on release! Price - $50 Weight 53.3g Diameter 54.2 Width 23.1 Bearing - Size A The best part? For the rest of may, every one of these will ship with a free counterweight so you can work on those responsive 5a tricks! #slimlineyoyo #modernresponsive #5ayoyo #5amay #raincityskills #todaysthrow"

That makes sense to me now. I am a Yoyo Boomer, I dont partake in the media outlets.

I love the art but hate the name…

Edit: I should clarify that I get the Pratchett reference but “flat earth” is unfortunately a little more controversial of a name than I would like and put me off it.

I kinda turned my nose up at the name too. I thought it was going to be a play on SETI.

Thanks for this post. I don’t do Instagram because it ALWAYS acts like I’m trying to do something illegal and demands I prove that I am who I think I am and never agrees. Your post led me to the website. I owe you one brother.

This is MREG, Modern Responsive Enablers Group. LOL

Total opposite of those Quitters Groups. /s

I’ve been busy with life and other hobbies, but my acquisitions in the last year or so have been:

  • SW/MK1 Metal Harbinger
  • RCS Mobile Gamer
  • RCS Flat Earth
  • DocPop PLTPS
  • ZGRT Janus
  • ZGRT El Mijo Poly
  • ZGRT El Tijo
  • ZGRT Alebrije
  • YYF Turbo Grind Machine
  • Throwback Origen

There have certainly been a few that I missed or passed on, but all of those have been pretty good for me. While the Origen doesn’t stall as well as the others, it has a charm of it’s own. RBC and Day Tripper are still two of my favorites.

I love the width of the Flat Earth, but it seems a little heavier than I would like.

I’m glad y’all are keeping things going. My wallet is just sad that new things keep getting released and sometimes it is hard to keep up. :slight_smile:

So I finally setup my mobile gamer as a responsive as it’s just hard to play unresponsive with its thin profile. It plays like how I wanted the pocket rocket to play but a similar size and a tad lighter.

It’s a fun pocket yoyo a tad clunky at the end of the string but it’s fun
