G2 Jackal all day today. Slimline perfection. This is the yoyo that will create unhealthy beauty standards for wide yoyos lol
Thank you so much, that means a lot. Yeah those were a lot of fun to make. We did Neptune and Mars as well but I really tried to make each one as realistic as possible. Glad to see them out there.
I ended up selling my FFB Earth but part of the deal was that I got to keep the counterweight! lol. I loved that yo-yo but my cloudberry won out in the end.
Do you plan on anything in this sort of style in the future? I would love to see more of it!! Thanks for letting me know this was a collab. I had no idea.
What is this one?
Looks like a black MarkMont Next.
Edit: or a nickel that’s been force tarnished or rubbed down with gun blueing. The black MMN hubs throwing me off a bit. Could be a nickel which got swapped with black hubs and Axle but doubt it considering how they were made.
Gorgeous shots!
Capless fingerspin Northstar. For $5 with a CT bearing, anyone buying anything during A-May-Zing should really pick up some of these if they ever think they’ll run into a young player in need of a first unresponsive yoyo. Or if you just want something to destroy for $5 in 5A May
Obsidian.
Ha???
No not a ha. It’s an obsidian. From my most Excellent friends at One Drop.
Is it a prototype or something? Maybe I’m missing something.
I thought Obsidian was by Oxygene.
Obsidian “edition” colorway MarkMont Next. One drop did a run of these nickel MMN’s and put them through a chemical process to tarnish it darker.
Lately, every time I explain some old slightly obscure yo-yo thing I feel myself age. ![]()
Wizened.
Sage.
Over 30. ![]()
My second favorite yoyo. Does anyone else love the blend c3 yoyo strings that come with the speedaholic? They are different than the solid color ones I believe. The yellow and pink type are called “momentum.” They are so good. Very bouncy, good whips.
Thanks for that. Didn’t know it existed.
Over 30?  You’re a youngster!!  lol. I turn 52 this year!  Wtfrig?  ![]()
Who’s got more toys for me? @Grendel , since picking up an OG Project, I’m now on a mission to complete the set so let me know when your ready to part with Onsidian!
Those are the comments I’m waiting for. ![]()
Gives me youthful energy. ![]()
Good luck, that’s a long costly road to go down for nickels. Still hunting a decent Wooly MarkMont myself.
You’d still need a Lilith……. Just saying.
