TBH, I’d probably want one of those for when the world ends. Durability aside, it’d be way easier to maintain a fixie than a bearing yoyo, what with maintenance and all. It’s way easier to make string in house than silicone or lubricant

That’s basically what it’s for! It’s intended to be a take it literally anywhere yoyo. A yoyo you can wade through salt water with, drop into a puddle of something weird, run it through the dishwasher (maybe I’m kinda scared to test that one). Spill zombie guts on it? No problem it still plays fine.
The only thing it needs to play just right is for some string, a drop of thick lube or chapstick on it. Rendered zombie fat should classify as thick lube in a pinch.

I too just had knee surgery! Fellow yo-yo knee surgery person, we heal together! LOL.
Old man talk: What did you have done? My cartiledge was damaged, and my meniscus had to be re-stretched and anchored. No walking for 2 months… no yo-yos, and I live on the second floor. My poor wife has been a rockstar so far, but I can’t imagine her having to continue to balance this for the next 6 weeks… ugh.

So so so glad you nailed it in first proto. It looks amazing!
Edit: I know you said you prob won’t do a run, if you have time later, can you post diameter and width, I’ll try to get Ed to make one out of the hardest wood he has if that’s cool

We do! I hope you heal fast and are on the mend my friend.
Meniscus surgery to remove 3/4 of it. I fell down a section of a flight of steps prior to my spinal surgery in March. I landed on my knee and shattered the inner meniscus. In PT for the spinal surgery, they found the injury which needed remedied so I can continue PT.
So I throw when I can, for as long as I can as I recover.

Not really, because I can’t stand for 2 months lol :-/ I just feel like crap too on the meds. Ugh. Sports injuries catching up, when you run your knees through the ringer with football, basketball and aggressive inline for ~20 years I guess it catches up with you later. Haha.
Man I tried to yo-yo with a Hyper Accel Origin sitting down since the string is short and I couldn’t work my brain to make it enjoyable lol. Felt so weird.
Hope your recovery is good too! I’m struggling on crutches this time around, idk - I have had 3 knee surgeries before in my teens, but this one as an adult is killing me.
