Been throwing my Liberty today. It doesn’t play quite as fast or light as I usually like, though it’s close, and it lacks some of the spin time of my other throws, but it’s just a joy to throw around.

As a total and complete newb, I am currently throwing the only yoyo I own: the Reccess First Base. Following standard procedure for all such projects, proper documentation of it’s initial arrival was necessary:

haha I remember back in the early 2000’s when I was into yoing…my parents only had dial-up internet and it wasn’t fast enough to load a lot of the yoing videos.  
I made a really cool friend (I think his screen name was Kobun? Or Kobot?) who loaded a TON of videos on something like 12 or 13 CDs for me, and I sent him a bunch of yos in return (including a freehand 1 and a yoyojam dark magic).  
Fun times! lol

I learned my first tricks from a book. Pretty much all the beginner stuff up to brain twister, split the atom, basic side stuff like trapeze and double or nothing.

That’s a yoyo I turned from polyester called the Ramrod. It’s wider than it’s diameter.

I ended up trading it with @NeoHamster. Thanks mate!

Anyone tried painting their yoyo with matte finish paint? I know they are mostly for reducing glare as opposed to reducing friction, I just wonder whether it works for reducing friction.

I used some in the cup of my Gamma Crash. Testor’s Matte Red Enamel. I would not recommend putting it on the outside of a yoyo. It’s kind of chalky.  
Terrible Instagram snip for reference:
