I have no goal of reselling any of my new yo-yos I pick up at this point. I was a BST fiend when I was younger but I don’t feel like going through that anymore. I’m trying some design trends I missed out on to nail down my preferences for good and then only buying stuff that matches them.
I recall you said you were in college before?
Yeah I don’t think I’ll be BST fiending as much once I graduate and have a nice job either
Not at all, but there are definitely people shaking their heads (I even got a PM about it). It doesn’t bother me, I bought this yoyo for me with my money and I couldn’t care less if people disapprove. At least I already have another yoyo that I don’t have to worry about dinging
Yeah last time I was involved in the community and yoyoing frequently was when i was in college.
I thought you were part of the vayder hype crew? I don’t care what you do with your vayder, these guys are just bustin’ yer chops
I don’t mean any offense to you BST guys either, but honestly the amount of time and effort I spend selling a yoyo, I could make by actually working (I budget and am not hard for cash). Have graduated college ~7 years ago. Maybe if I wanted to try everything id be a BST guy, but I already know my preferences and now only buy the occasional yoyo that I really want. Out of all my yoyos, I only have probably one that id think of parting with. The rest I like.
Oh, I was. But I’m just sayin’.
And trust me, the chop busting is being reciprocated
BSTs aren’t just for guys looking for throws on the cheap. They are also the only way to get yoyos (or colorways) that aren’t made anymore.
I would be where you’re at if I didn’t have so many yo-yo trends I haven’t tried yet due to being away from the hobby for so long.
I’m still new so I hope I don’t make too many people hate me but 1a is boring to watch for me.
I think that might be due to you being new. If you don’t understand why something is impressive it can’t be impressive. That’s why non yoyoers think Eli hops is more impressive than a crazy tech combo.
No ones gonna hate you.
What style do you like to watch?
4a and 5a
I agree that high level 4A is really exciting.
Watch more non-competition yoyo vids and “trick circle” stuff. A lot of people on here will agree that the high level competition vids are kind of boring (aside from a handful of creative routines perhaps). Id rather watch a good amateur on Instagram than most who place in nationals tbh.
Evan Nagao is the G.O.A.T!
What? Also the guy in red pants in that video is a nutter lmao
Oh I was just recommending these guys because they aren’t all hardcore competition oriented, they’re just a bunch of goobs who are insanely good at what they do.
Just saying, you dont need to have a lot of money to invest. Get some index funds if you arent sure where to start
