Hi all just posting for feedback. just a project i used to try out a new vendor, (I design lighting and furniture for a living.) Drawing inspiration from the step pyramid of Djoser the step return top is a work in progress for myself as a designer and yoyo player. The step pyramid was essentially a work in progress, that eventually lead to “true pyramids”. The Step yoyo is under weight, has a mild vibration, and the string will occasionally get caught on the steps. That being said I have always wanted to break away from the traditional O,V, and H, profiles and try something new that may or may not be a failure. 6061 Aluminum Machined in Guangdong 52.8 mm 39 mm 55g Thank you! -Lucca ![step-yo_4000](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/3/0/f303e3737b9a3ff8ff3d6463e2821850754d8ab1.jpeg) ![step-yo-34_4000](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/7/9/0795c15956f27f165df6ab9ce78d75ff1ce5b8a4.jpeg) ![step-yo-flat_4000](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/9/a/39af7582c4e2486793388d55d46162e17e8178ef.jpeg) ---

This is super cool for the record :wink: The only risk of string eating / cutting is that first step after the response pads. The rest should be effectively cosmetic. ---

> [@zerayzeray](#): > > and the string will occasionally get caught on the steps It definitely looks cool but I fear that the string getting caught on those tiers would happen more than occasionally. I remember people saying the line in the catch area of the SPYY/CLYW Galactic Goose would catch the string and that was much less pronounced. Would be interesting to try and see though. ---

That thing looks awesome. Seems like it might bring the hurt during play tho. ---

Thanks for the positive feedback! it hasn’t chewed up any strings yet, only problem i have found is that sometimes the string can catch a step. i have been playing with and trying to see if i can incorporate it into a trick, but, I am not that good of a player. thanks again, -Lucca ---

You can try landing on a step then doing elevator with it. Seems like a lot of neat string grind options to try!
