I feel this thread needs to be made. I’ll start.
“I’ll NEVER be as good as so-and-so, they’re just to good!”
“If I get an expensive yoyo, maybe I’ll be better at yoyoing.”
Go.

I’m a father of 2, an NCO in the military, a nerdy-jock, and an all-round giant kid.

“flat bearing are always worse than specialty bearingz (trifecta, konkave, etc.)” or that all flat bearings dont spin long enough for advanced tricks. i belive the world record for longest sleeper was using a gold plated flat bearing? (please correct me if im wrong)

The only way to ensure everybody gets along is for nobody to ever speak to anybody XD I think the fact that we occasionally have little tiffs over things indicates that we’ve got a huge variety of people from different backgrounds with different beliefs and tastes. This can only be a good thing.

1. I can’t hit this trick… it must be the yo-yo.
2. You can’t do that. It’s responsive.
3. A lubed bearing is a bad bearing.
