This week Has been a huge step up for me in yoyoing! From meeting Paul Escolar unexpectedly to creating a whole new trick that I find amazing to perform. One thing I have recently discovered however is a new love for responsive yoyos, more specifically the ones involving wood. Last friday I spent the Day at the central Washington state fair. While there I took notice to a toy exhibit they had this year titled “Toytopia” which focused on numerous toys and there history. I thought "oh well they have to mention the yoyo so i might as well take a peak inside. Inside they had a duncan stand that was selling wheels, butterflys (xt), and pulses. They also were giving away Duncan ignites to anybody that could make it go up and down, not wanting to miss my chance at a free yoyo (cause hey, free things are nice) I picked it up did shoot the moon and won my free yoyo. The rest of the day I was bouncing that little wood sleeve axle yoyo up down and all around. Really made me think about responsive play and how much fun it could bring to me. I then began thinking about wood yoyos like the No-Jive. I went online and searched for wood yoyos and stumbled across the TMBR website and am very impressed with what can be done with their yoyos! I was wondering if anybody had tried one? More specifically the Irving pro, Freemont, and Lovejoy? Who knows I might just become a woody for life like ED
