New response pads and a Zipline on my Banshee. Will be carrying this around with me for the next couple of days!
Can’t believe I slept on these two for so long. Gotta thank @Nocompromise for the STR trade and for giving me a heads up about the IMD listing on the FB BST!
Start the Riot… great yoyo!!!
Yeah I haven’t been able to put down the STR. It was a total wild card for me since I didn’t know what to expect but I’m glad I took a chance.
IMD is a bit more of a traditional bimetal. I heard it described as a lighter Pragma which I get but the narrower weight rings really make it feel different than the Pragma’s chonky rings. Like the Pragma makes me think of something more like the Silenus’s shape whereas the IMD is closer to your typical bimetal V IMO. That said I got it for like $40 so it’s a steal.
Yes, at that price you made a great deal!
I liked the STR so much that I took two, a smooth gray and a blasted black.
the IMD everyone said that he played very similarly to Draupnir and for this I didn’t take him, I already had a Drau …
Neat! Is that the Respawn? I didn’t know the other half was etched!! Pretty cool!
I think all the solid color Respawns (other than prototypes) have engravings of some kind on one side.
Yeah, I knew about the cool alien engraving on the one half…just didn’t realize it had the alien hands on the other half
you are correct @twitch77. i think most posts are of the other side only
Right! Totally underrated yoyo, but plays amazing
Looks awesome
g2 did an amazing job on their responsive throw - which shouldn’t come as a surprise. there have been some great modern responsives that have dropped as of late, it’d be nice to see a couple more…
Rediscovering my neglected Duncan Metal Racer (my last Toys R Us purchase, RIP) - with a couple of string wraps and some thick lube, finding this to be a fun modern responsive throw.
I got this yoyo zenith from the Zeekio brand, (I think it’s called yoyoempire now)
It is made of Derlin👌
It’s very nice for play:)
happy weekend everyone!
In the Thanos colours no less. I really liked the start the riot when I had it on loan for a few months.
Yeah, I’m really digging these colors! If I had seen them on a product photo I probably would have passed them up but seeing them in person I’m in love.
This happens to me so often with yoyos! I see photos of my yos online, but then I get them and they look SO much better in person!
I totally agree!
As far as I can tell the photos(no matter what co.) are always visually lacking compared to in person. My monguhopper had me apprehensive about its brown before purchase- in person it’s finish is excellent(which I imagine is uncharacteristic of brown😉)
The result though is that you will almost always be pleasantly surprised upon arrival.
