Pick up a Plastic Yo-Yo. Do it, just for the rest of the day. It’s a challenge for those who are always throwing their metal Yo-Yos all day everyday and have a plastic yoyo just sitting there in their bag. There’s no prize. Just the experience of using a plastic yoyo, and see if any good memories come up or a really hard trick you remember landing it with that plastic. So really anyone who constantly throws a metal Yo-Yo, put it down. Pick up a plastic and remember all the good times you had with it. ---

I require my yoyos to be fun if I’m expected to play them. Not coincidentally, this means I pretty much only throw plastics. ---

But to be honest, this is just found images on the web that I printed on a color printer and spray mounted to the original caps. Then I just popped 'em back in. Look a lot better than the originals I would say. :wink: ---
