oh crap yoyo moments?

so, when have you ever just said “oh crap” on something yoyo related?

Just today I had to clean some silicone out of a bearing seat, so I took a canister of paint thinner, grabbed a shot glass (which had water in it) and the water spilled onto my hand. I thought the paint thinner spilled on my hand and just went “crap…” and stared at my hand for like, 3 seconds. Then I ran to the sink and rinsed my hand…

When i was yoyoing in my living room and then i did something wrong and my y factor hit the glass thing that covers the light on a fan and broke all over the place. :cry:

When I was using Paul Dang’s Y-Factor at the BAC, and then it unscrewed and fell onto the concrete with the bearing…boy, WAS HE MAD!!!

when your yoyos in the air and you figure out theres not enough time to stop it from smashing your sockless foot.

Hitting my dad in the face with a griffin wing.guess who can’t do offstring for 2 weeks.

I once choked out a cross dresser with a yoyo string once. :confused:

Its true i was there

Cody: Wow that was an Awesome Trick! Let me do that again!
Yoyo: DING CLUNK!
Cody: OH CRAP, I got a DING!
Yoyo: Yeah, It Hurt!
Cody: Did my Yoyo just talk to me?.. SWEET! ;D

Many a time, i throw a trapeze, and then stop to contemplate life or something, forget i threw the trapeze, it will swing up and then come back at my head. I then cower in fear and it looks like I am being attacked by a bird or something. But when i notice that yoyo aimed at my face, i always say “Oh crap”.

Once I was throwing a metal yo-yo, and wanted to see how long I could get it to spin from a breakaway… so I threw it as hard as I could, and a HUGE noise came from a glass on the floor because I hit it, slamming it into the wall. NOT A SCRATCH. And then my dad washed the same glass later, and while his hand was inside it it suddenly shattered and blood was pouring out of a cut on his thumb. There wasn’t a single mark when the yo-yo hit it though…

i hope it was yoyoGstring that you used.

Binge buying at contests. (300 in one day XD)

I was sitting down watching TV and decided to yoyo during the ads. I got up. Picked up my Yuuksta. Forgot to put my finger in the loop. And snap started it across the room.

in a good way

  • when I experienced “oxy smooth” for the first time yesterday

in a bad way

  • when I got my Ronin, put an alchemy string on it (brand new), wind it, throw it and the slipknot got off my finger (fortunately at home so no dings)

they’re good strings, one of my favorites, but they don’t match well with heavy throws and dry skin

Only the best.

I was doing 2a with my dm, cause I got a know and didn’t feel like getting it out… I hit a wall, said oh crap, then watched at the yoyo sailed down and hit me… there… :cry:

I know this isn’t a contest but I have you all beat.

I was modding a yoyo for someone and a half slipped out of the chuck and the tool cut a nasty unfixable gash most of the way around it. I had to replace it of course. That is it for me.

when i saw this thread

oh wait

I’m pretty sure I beat you Icthus
