I’m going to try to give a “proper” review of the Protostar. (No offense Hobbyman101.) First thing to note: the Protostar will take you quite a while to outgrow. It’s taken me from Brain Twister and Zipper to Trapeze Triangle Slack, Hook, and Yuuki Slack. In terms of performance: It sleeps for several minutes, 1-3 to be exact. Very good balance. Not the smoothest, but it’s $30. Sucks for grinds, but that’s not what it’s for. It can be very fast. I’ve done a Peng Pong (from [rethinkyoyo.com](http://rethinkyoyo.com)) with it in under 8 second. Overall, 4 stars. Maintenance is not to difficult. Yes, it needs lube. Yes, it requires new strings. But I’ve changed the bearing with a Center Trac, Ceramic, and Gold Plated. Doesn’t act up with new bearings. I’ve had it for about a year, and it hasn’t shown any real signs of aging. (Other than needing one pair of new responce pads.) Like I said, I’d give this an overall 4 star rating. Hope this satisfies you, everyone. :wink: ---
