Pay It Forward Inception

I’m interested to give this Whirl in Europe please.

The inception is here! I’ve never owned a bi-metal and my last 9/10 yo-yos have been organic so this pay it forward idea was perfect for me! Some awesome string was included that’s going to make it tough to decide which to use. I’ll tell you my thoughts after throwing it around more.

Here’s some of my rough 1A on the Inception. I didn’t have time to land all the things perfectly, so there are def some wobbles.

Here’s some front style. I just started getting a feel for Boingy Boing recently, so I wanted to show it off. I should really work on some of those transitions…

Its sad to see that one person caused a closed loop of only certain people to try the yoyo. Thats kinda the risk behind pay it forward. And preventing someone from trying to be a part of the community and engaging in the whole chain just because they are new seems kinda wack. Hope it opens up for others less known in “the community” to poke their heads out and be apart of the fun instead of just lurking.
Is there a solution?

I agree. I’m honestly willing to still take risks with mine :purple_heart:

I agree, it is sad. I was lucky enough to be included on the list for the silver and gold one. It’s a special throw to be sure.

I also can’t fault the sponsors for wanting to take extra precautions for the time being.

Yes, you are admittedly taking a risk when you sponsor a Pay It Forward thread. Dings, lost guts, etc. seem to be expected. Theft—or “I swear I didn’t steal it, I just disappeared with it for four months,” appears to be exceedingly rare.

I’ve only been active here for six or seven months, and I have to say: this is a remarkable community. For how small it is, it’s incredibly open, welcoming and supportive of new members.

Everyone knows everyone, or at the very least, that’s how it feels to me. So the idea of someone absconding with your $150 throw could, conceivably, not even cross your mind.

That idea not occurring to someone, or being so far in the back of their mind that it barely gets a moments consideration, I feel, is forgivable here. That kind of thing appearing to be very rare, and leaving a lasting stain on a community that prides itself on integrity and over all awesomeness.

I also think that makes the sting of such a thing happening so much worse. Because this is a fantastic community, where everyone I’ve spoken to, with the exception of the guy who swears he didn’t steal it and one troll, has been totally awesome.

It’s a shame that, for the time being, newer members are unable to participate in some ways, or in some threads, due to the actions of one guy.

I completely agree. I also agree with those sponsors wanting some extra security and assurance that it won’t happen again.

Just give it some time. In the mean time, this is a pretty awesome place to hang out :grin:.

As soon as the list comes to the end (last person)
@craZivn has his turn…… we can go back to the first person to say” I’ll take it!” And get back to its roots here

I’m glad you stepped up and said something. As someone with no feedback thread I didn’t want to say anything. I felt like my chances of being able to partake in a pay it forward were dwindling away.
