These three yoyos were and are. My all time fav throws! The 888 got me into yoyos in high-school. And the YYN hard coat 888 was the fist metal I ever got, picked it up from a buddy with the original Buddha king lol.
Around then the bvm and peak were already out. I picked myself up a wolverine bvm1 still to this day one of the most gorgeous yoyos out there.
Then came the gnarwhal 1…. It blew me away, to me it was PERFECT. The bvm1 was already perfect to me but this some how was just a little more stable.
With that being said, newer throws may play better, I haven’t bought a modern yoyo since like 2019. But even with them playing better. Those older throws just had a different feel to them.
My fav thing about the 888 was hoe every year from 07 to 11 felt slightly different. With I’ll be honest 07/08 play amazing but my Jason lee.11 was the absolute peak for 888 playability, until the Ti888 was released. I regret selling that lol.
but if we got onto that subject we’d be here forever.
Anyway long-winded entry to a single photo post
. Don’t get to chat yoyos much.
Also for what’s it worth. Bvm1 would just be green/black splash or is there any colorway name.
it’s going to gruntbull regardless just curious.
