It’s cool to see things in a different perspective, but I got to put out my thoughts again 
Your answer to Number one is the same one I have gotten 3 times. “What is wrong with popularity?” I don’t want to be some superstar who can’t take a step with out somebody (particularly girls) to go nuts over me and crowd me so much I can’t get to my destination. Say I go to worlds, everybody knows me and goes gaga over me and I can’t make it to the stage for me performance and get disqualified. That probably won’t happen but it is possible.
Most yoyo players(and fans) are guys, so you won’t really have a problem with girls crowding you… There will be a few, but not nearly enough to crowd you and block you from your destination, and even if there are girls, they aren’t like fans of singers were they go crazy…
Moving on to Number Two. I never mentioned a whole team would be jerks or something like that. Maybe if just two or three of them are. It still wouldn’t be fun. Also, how would I know if the people are jerks before I take the sponsorship and start hanging out with them?
If you don’t like someone, ignore them, don’t talk to them much unless you have to. If it’s really that bad, just leave the company and end your sponsorship…
Now, to Number Three. These are very good points. But, from what I have heard, the company decides which yoyos you throw at which contests. I want to avoid that. I wouldn’t mind throwing a yoyo from the company I am sponsored by (most likely) but I may not even get to choose which one I want.
Not necessarily… As long as it’s their own yoyo, you can use whatever you want for a huge majority of the time. Sometimes if a yoyo is released near or on the day a contest begins, they may ask and want you to use that yoyo, but you might not be required to. However, there are sometimes that they may make you use a throw, I believe they had the team members of OD and CLYW to use the Summit at the contest it was released, but I don’t know if they MADE them use it. I don’t see much of a problem with that though to be honest, it’s a small favor to ask. If you have a signature though, they might ask you to use it. Again, I’m not sure if they will MAKE you use it. But, I don’t see much of a problem with this either. Take Zach Gormley for example. He has a signature yoyo, the Arctic Circle, but he’s used other yoyos at contests. I believe he used the BVM2 once or twice this year. But, I don’t see much of a problem if you had to use your signature yoyo at contests either. If it’s your signature, you made it, you should love it, and not have a problem with using it at contests.
And consider this. There are some sponsored players that rarely or never compete, they just make videos, which is totally cool. So if you don’t like to compete, that’s fine.
Number Four. Making a signature throw might be fine and dandy. I know it would be my dream throw but what if it turns out that I don’t like it as much as I expected? What if I totally hate it? That would make me almost look bad. As for making them for other people, it really wouldn’t be their signature throw, but more like a throw made for them.
Trust me, your company will work with you making a signature yoyo. If you really don’t like the first one, they will try to change it. But, if you are already sponsored and are getting a signature yoyo, you must already be crazy good and know exactly what you like in a yoyo. So, I doubt you’ll hate a yoyo you designed. You may want to tweak it, but I doubt you will hate it. Your company will work with you, and will make 3 or 4 versions if need be. And to be honest, if you don’t want a signature yoyo, you don’t need to have one, just tell them so.
