Just paid the neighbor kid a responsive dv888 for some manual labor. That is all
Nice! Yesterday I had the opportunity to do some tricks in a coffee shop for a 4-year-old and he was astonished and his grandpa said āwe might have to get you a yoyo for your next birthday, huh?ā
Itās a great feeling spreading the joy of yoyo. That was really cool of you.
The kid was all about it! Showed him how to wind it and do a forward throw
I sold my friend my half skyva half horizon yoyo for $25 with unlimited response change and string. Itās good for both of us because I get a flightš
I helped my friends mom choose him a yo-yo pack for his birthday. It was fun!
I loaned my classmate a yo-yo and gave her a few lessons and links. A couple weeks later, she came back with a fast 201 and says sheās been having a great time learning!
Its really rewarding to get people into doing something you love, so whenever you get the chance to get someone throwing, go for it! That combo can wait.
I started a yoyo club at my school!
When I travel I carry an extra Butterfly and a few homemade Beglari to just give away if I find someone who is interested.
Iām doing a yoyo demo for a couple school classes this Friday, should be fun!
I just gave a magic yoyo p lotor to a new hire at work. He said heās wants to get into yoyoing but hasnāt got his first pay check yet
I gave a friend from work a magic yoyo n12 as his first unresponsive metal yoyo.
Now you get his first pay check, right?
Haha. I should tell him a titanium shutter is my payback.
I try to always keep yoyos around that can be given away. Sometimes if youāve done a trade with me, or bought something, I throw in yoyos that I know the person most likely is not going to use, but itās for them to give away.
Iāve never had a problem giving yoyos away, whether to people who are new, people who canāt buy something for whatever reason, or someone that just is really connecting to a yoyo.
āThere is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving.ā Great words to apply to your life, whether yoyo or any other aspect of life
Uh; donāt look now; but selling somebody a yoyo is not spreading āyo-yo loveā.
And paying somebody with a yoyo isnāt either.
Spreading yoyo love is done with no intention of any kind of self serving deal.
AaronW is more the benchmark of spreading the love. You āgiveā yoyos to people. Yoyos, string, a YYE index card with the site and learning info on it, etc.
Funny stuff.
I give stuff away. No edge for me involved.
I like to give speeches on yoyoing at like retirement homes and the such. Not sure how that helps but hey, I think itās fun afterwards people always talk about what yoyos they had and what tricks they could do āback in the olden daysā and itās fun listening to them.
Iāve also given away some yoyos to people (friends, girlfriend, random people at college that seem interested). I actually carry 3 in my back pack at all times that I have to give away. Never know when someone is interested!
Edit: and I gave some yoyos to elementary kids that go to the school I graduated from (my school was K-12).
Iāve given yoyos away, used them as incentives, and Iāve also bartered with yoyos.
;D ;D ;D Itās all yoyo love if the person receiving it loves the yoyo. ;D ;D ;D
I love yo-yoing in front of older people, they almost always have stories about yo-yoing when they were young. So cool. My wifes grandfather saw me once and asked to see the yoyo I was using. His first reaction was āItās metal??? Wow!ā Then he went on to tell me that he had several when he was younger, wouldāve been the early 40ās, but they were all wood. Started asking me all sorts of questions, do they still make wood ones, do a lot of people still use them. Then came the stories of the guy that would come to town every summer to teach the local kids, and how everyone had a yoyo when he was a kid. Good times
