So, this is the story all about how my life got flipped turned upside down… just kidding lol.
Anywho, I thought about making this topic all day, i dont know why. I just feel like sharing.
So it all started around when I was about 10 or 11 or so. I got YYF fast 201 yoyo, and you know what? I loved it. I saw it on TV about how it was adjustable for responsive or unresponsive play. I played the heck out of that thing. I didn’t really do any tricks with it and such but i loved it. I was a kid, I lost it, I got another when I was 13, I lost it. Got another one when I was 15. I then started doing some amateur tricks like the round the world and rock the cradle and trapeze and such. Then, I decided I really wanted to get into it, and wanted to upgrade. I ended up selling my egyptian god cards, if anyone remembers what those are, for a DV888 yoyo. I got to the level to where i am at today, and i would like to say beginner/intermediate. Thinks like mach 5, buddhas revenge, split the atom, etc. I unfortunately had to sell it last year due to a sticky financial situation. I got 30 Bucks for it, but hey, every bit counts. So now, here i am, yoyoless, but NOT for long. I got a good deal of money from a total loss i had, and after i get my new car inspected, any leftover money is going to me and my fiance. I have a one drop Code 1 in my cart along with 100 blueprint poly strings. I am very excited to get back into yoyoing and learning even more advanced tricks.
On a side note, I love paul dang. LOL.
So yeah, Thats my story, feel free to share yours.
We all do. It’s pretty much a prerequisite to being a yoyoer. ;D
Thanks for sharing your story man, glad to hear that you’ve finally been able to get to a place where you can pick up yoyoing again. The Code 1 is a great choice and should serve you well for many years to come.
I, like yourself, was very much off-and-on when it came to yoyoing. You can read a concised outline of my yoyo journey here if you’re interested (it’ll save me having to type it all out here.):
It feels great to be back into it properly though, I finally feel like it’s a solid part of my life. I don’t know if I could give it up at this point, even if I wanted to.
Welcome back to the wonderful world of yoyos Mike.
Once upon a time I was cleaning my room when I stumbled upon a magical painting that was a portal to Narnia.
On a completely unrelated note, I also happened to find my Yomega Firestorm from back when I was in gradeschool and, seeing as how being distracted by fun stuf is always waaaaay better than cleaning, started throwing with what I had and looking up videos of yoyo contests instead of finishing my chores
Been yoyoing more seriously since then. It’s gotten me through the boredom of the higher education system and what we in the real world like to call Reality.
Code 1 is such a good yoyo. It’ll be the only yoyo you “need”, though if you find yourself flush with cash you’ll no doubt buy more. Haha! But seriously, Code 1 is so good.
Still have it, though it’s been overcranked a time too many by the kids at my work. I get to bring my throws in for them to play with/practice on/totally destroy. Luckily only a few plastic ones have been broken or stolen in the past few years
