A new person showed up. He had these yoyos, said he had had them mafe by Duncan years ago, and gave me one. Does anyone know anything about it. The play very well with the wooden axle. Makes me want to land this week’s FAF2024 trick Backhand balance to lunar landing. I have been able to land the balanve part twice so far. Not the lunar landing part yet though. ---

I was a huge proyo guy in the 90’s. Here’s some of my favorites from before Duncan purchasing proyo. There was a yo-yo store here in Las Vegas in the 90’s that held local contests. Good times back then. ![IMG_1396](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/8/7/887a0e89647433f162975b06f5892bb44a559b7c.jpeg) ---

(1) My attempt at Varial Grind. It’s more of a bump than a grind I guess but polycarbonate doesn’t grind as well as wood, or maybe I’m just not that good. I was so excited when I hit the first one that I almost missed the return haha. (2) 180 Varial to Chopsticks. Simple little trick. (3) 540 Varial Suicide (4) Under Mount Flip over the arm ---

Hey thanks for all the help folks! Many of my problems with The Thing were, indeed, fixed with a good dose of silicone grease - way more than I expected. I have two things to report: 1. I have landed my first trapeze stall, and it was super joyous. 2. I got a gorgeous El Mijo polycarbonate, and over the course of an hour today I went from “WTF was I thinking I’m just a beginner I can’t land $\*#! on this” to “ooohhh, this response just feels goooood” to landing a double or nothing and return and feeling like a total god. Now for the trapeze stall. ---
