Pay it forward silenus

I’ve had a blast with this yoyo, but the time has come to send this baby on to its 40th player!

My time with the Silenus

For some reason the pads were miss matched so I swapped them out for some Yo-tricks shadow pads.

I also decided to polish the yoyo with some monkey buff, now it shines like the day it was anodized and grinds are smooth as butter.

Before:

After:

When not in use the Silenus has been chilling on my display shelf:

To summarize my time with the Silenus in a few words, I will be looking to add one to my collection!

Thank you for the opportunity to experience this throw and thanks to everyone who helped this yoyo on its travels.

Rules:
I will send the Silenus on to the next person to post, ”I’ll take it,” here, in this thread. DM’s don’t count; it needs to be in thread to keep everything fair (Contiguous 48 states only, please). You will get this great throw to use and enjoy, completely free, for 30 DAYS (give or take a few).

HOWEVER! By accepting this throw, you also accept the responsibility of creating a similar post at the end of your 30-day period, as well as paying the shipping fees for sending it on to the next person.

An eternal curse of slippy binds and knotted strings on the person who breaks the chain!!!

So I’ve spent some time with this now and holy cow this thing rips! it feels so stable pushing it off plane is like trying to push a cow over! (so I’ve heard :face_with_hand_over_mouth:) it’s got awesome spin time and i can definitely see this being an incredible “learn the trick” throw. having said that its weight makes it feel like you have to push harder to get it moving but once it’s moving, momentum takes over and it doesn’t feel as heavy. this early in my yoyo career i really enjoy heavier stable feeling yoyos that can see me through sloppy play and stopping to think lol

yeah, $40 is a bit steep tbh. I bet if someone offered them less they might take it. :person_shrugging:

Silenus is safely in Rochester NY! I’m currently traveling but my daughter did an unboxing! She loved all the goodies in the box.
