Duncan Pro Yo, the plastic one with the wooden axle. It came with a copy of that old “Duncan Yo-Yo & Spin Top Trick Book”, in which the hardest tricks are things like Split The Atom and two handed looping. I had no internet access at the time, so I learned to Yo-Yo from that book, completely oblivious to modern Yo-Yoing. The most I’d ever seen was my Dad throwing a quick sleeper and doing “Around The World”. After months and months of practice I thought I was a boss getting my Yo-Yo to spin for six seconds. I then found a Duncan Mosquito at Walmart and purchased it, having no idea what a ball bearing Yo-Yo was. I’m pretty sure my brain exploded that day when I threw a sleeper and it lasted more than half a minute. It was also around that time that I gained access to YouTube, and I stumbled across videos of Hiroyuki Suzuki and Grant Johnson. I discovered “Split The Atom” was not the hardest string trick. To this day, when I see someone learn to Yo-Yo for the first time on something with a ball bearing axle, and they can throw a decent sleeper within a day, it always feels like they’re getting to start a video game on Level 2. They will never know the pain of Level 1… that blasted wooden axle. ---

ProYo Bumblebee GT. I still remember my parents agreeing to buy it for me and then arguing with each other afterward about “How a yoyo can even be worth $20!??!?!?!” ---
