Yesterday stuck on a lonely commuter rail platform for an hour. What a waste of practice time. So easy to place one in my pack, oh well.

There’s a haiku in there, maybe I’ll think of one.

I make sure to always bring one with me at all times, even if I never end up using em. I also love slimlines, so pocket space usually isn’t an issue either…

You literally took the words right out of my mouth 😆 that is EXACTLY what I would have said, I’m basically the same way 😅

What’s your preferred every day throw? 👀

I used to take my deep state or black canon every time, but since I traded for a nonmint panorama, I can’t stop using it everywhere!

That is a REALLY hard question 😆 !!! Tbh I always like to mix it up a little bit so I don’t stick to one throw every day but I always seem to lean more towards undersized throws. They fit very nicely in the pocket without sacrificing performance, that’s what I really like the most. I always wanted to try a panorama though !!! It seems like a sweet throw.

Here, I tried:

Yoyo every day  
Just to kill time and relax  
Always have one near

I think a Haiku  
Would be really really fun  
E-D-C is best

if you made **a** particular yo-yo your best friend (EDC) then, I’m betting you wouldn’t forget him/her maybe like in a less formal version of poetry according to Dr. Seuss … “NOT ON A TRAIN. NOT IN A CAR. NOT IN A TREE.”

Why didn’t you just watch some trick videos on YouTube?

Sometimes I just don’t want to look at my phone. Good time to find a trick to learn, agreed.
