> [@yoyodoc](#): > > Throwing yo-yos I have found isn’t just a past time. And it isn’t just a hobby. And it isn’t just a skill toy. It’s an adventure. And any of you guys and girls just stick around for a while, Come to the realization that one of the coolest things about throwing yo-yos is the actual adventure, resulting from the multitude of tricks and the amazing variety of Yo-yos available to continue the adventure. One of the things about the world of Yo that really appeals to me, there is always tinkering to do, and things to try! ---

nice in depth discussion on shapes! > [@yoyodoc](#): > > they may more than anything else have just adapted like humans do to the equipment that they’re using this i think sums my feelings up toward bearings these days. i honestly don’t stop to think about what bearing i have in any yoyo I’m about to throw, i just pick it up and throw it. the only time i think about bearings anymore is if one stops working on me mid play lol ---

I have quite a number of relatively unused OD flats that were just instantly removed and replaced with some sort of centering bearing. I just may put those flats in all of my favorite throws for a while and see if I can notice any sort of change. I think it could be a fun little experiment. ---

i found once i pushed past the initial “oh gosh what is this?! i can’t control this!” they became very enjoyable and not as difficult as my initial impression made them. i think this just goes to @yoyodoc comment about adaptability of hoomans ---
