These aren’t all. Just the ones that matter…
Yomega Saber Wing. Wasn’t actually mine; it was my brother’s. I can remember standing up on a stool becauset he string was too long, though. Farthest I got was a reasonable sleeper and gravity pull.
Orange Duncan Proyo. First yoyo I can remember owning AND using. My uncle showed me some picture tricks that blew me away. The farthest I got on this was trapeze, and an attempt at double or nothing before I lost it.
YoyoFactory F.A.S.T. 201. Got this a few years later from an aunt. My bother also got one. Mine was yellow, his was purple. We made a really bad yoyo video on a VHS tape. We’ve since lost it. I modified the starburst to allow for longer sleepers, and I think nowadays it’s in pieces.
YoyoFactory Pocket Change. This was my first yoyo for YEARS after the 201. I really consider this the start of my serious yoyoing, since I really took off and developed then, and because I haven’t stopped since.
YoyoFactory DV888. First metal. I guess that makes it important! Also, I competed for the first time with this yoyo, and won second in Sport 1a with it a few months later.
I like a lot of the yoyos I currently have now, but they don’t have stories, which I feel makes them out of place in this thread.
1997 - Yomega Fireball (I rocked that thing for years during middle school) Spring 2010 - Duncan Mosquito (Saw it at wal-mart for $5 and I was like "a ball bearing yoyo for $5? Those cost $20 back in the day) Summer 2010 - Dark Magic (saw Andre doing mind blowing tricks with this yoyo that would sleep forever. Last time I saw a yoyo sleep that long was the SB2 in middle school that all the rich kids had. I said to myself "Self, your grown up now you can afford a nice yoyo. So I got it.)
