I’m gonna have to print some Lego caps.
Not too shabby a mail day:
Been keeping my eyes open for a RSO The End Part 2, so I snatched this Prelude as soon as I saw it pop up. Not disappointed. Small, organic, and heavy (as some of my favorites are), yet surprisingly stable. Is the acid wash is beautiful? Yes, absolutely.
I like my Beater, but the Boring Silver is…well, boring. So much so that I’ve considered selling in the past. The BBB means I can keep one in my collection. The Hypernova was a surprise in the box with it. It was never on my radar, but I do love me some 7075, it seems very capable, and plays silky smooth. Big thanks to @OhDavidBowie on that !
Home briefly before leaving town for another work trip, and had a few goodies waiting for me. Peakhand, a whole bunch of wood goodness (two No Jives, a BC Blackbird, another BC wood imperial, and a YYF Legend), and 100 center trac style A bearings.
Nationals 2025 Haul!
The folks at the Enso booth had a really good idea: get a case and get it covered in signatures. I did it! It’s the sickest dopest souvenir I have from this contest. I’m gonna spray clear coat to protect all the siggs soon.
If you signed this case thank you so much for helping make for an incredible and memorable Nationals. This was the highlight of my year and one of the most fun events I have ever been to. Especially the 3A shenanigans after the contest yesterday
If you DIDN’T sign this case, I wanna do it again next time so please find me in 2026 (all things going to plan anyway) and sign my case! We’ll get ‘em next time!
The reason I bought this case was because of buying too many yoyos
From top left: W1LD OT strings, “alternatives” Inertia, ETC Anthem, CLYW Leaf, TRT Sago and the very last engraved Final Frontier Cenote (player grades), B Grade Asterisk, Hollywood Modern Yoyos 10 Koncave bearing bottle, G2 Wraith (brass rims), a 2 pack of Foxtails by Todd, Mile High Yoyo Mile Highbrid, Alchemik Yoyos Talent, Crucial Life Supply Maple(YESSS), W1LD Wildless(?) and Unbound from $30 lucky boxes, and a super sick crystallized Ti yoyo from Enso that vibes like CRAZY but also plays incredibly well. Sold as sparker grade for super cheap.
Swags and pogs and stickers from all around and an awesome chibi mascot pin from Dreamcraft. Thank you all who made nats possible!
EDIT: I did identify the unidentified yoyo on the right of the pic, sort of! It’s an unreleased proto thats probably not coming out.
You got a lot of heat in one fell swoop! Gee whiz!
Been planning for it since Nats was announced for Vegas, it was about a 6 hourish road trip for me that I like to do, but normally there’s nothing to attract me to Vegas.
Was awesome! I was gonna find you again and ask about your quest for some canopy rope and if I went well but I left a lil early on Sunday
They didn’t have any lol, I’ll grab some eventually but I’m kinda in the mood for neon pink string now…
Nice
Wow where did you get that many A bearings ?
Dude, a Weird Al yo-yo!!! That’s awesome @AudreySickburn! I might need to do another trade with you again in the future.
What is the solid red (and then all the others )?
From a bearing manufacturer in China. Need to test them out, last ones I bought weren’t up to spec. These ones seem better at first glance though.
I might have been planning on sending you a congratulatory box and will take note of your interest.
Now that’s a Haul! Nice…
