I did say a little prayer over each one. Lord, please let these not be string shredders, amen
Heck yeah! I’m glad it made it and is playing good. Let that stock string get a little ratty, then throw on that alphaline with some chapstick. She’ll really come to life then!
Word fixie from Boise Woodworks. This is their imperial shape, they have a winged as well. They come fixed axle or with a bearing and brass starburst response. I am still trying to dial in the response, so I cannot speak to play just yet.
Bit of a nostalgic mail day today. I had a yo-yo growing up called the Aoda Classic, unfortunately it stripped one day on me and wasn’t useable anymore. I’ve been looking for another for a few years now but have not been successful. A few weeks ago, I came across a seller who still had a few. They’re dusty from being in storage, and don’t have the best anodizing or machining quality, but I’m happy to have come across a few of them. The one at the top is an Aoda Perfect Storm, a copy of the Takuto L2. I’ve upgraded the bearings for concave ceramic D sized bearings.
Spyy Radian clones?
Kinda but also kinda not. The similarity really is only the spike. The shape is rounder and these are heavier at 73 grams.
Had 3 of these for a while, so i decided to reach out to Duncan and get the other 3 to complete the set. Monkey, Mark and Steve are the new addition.
Nice! How does it play?
I still am having troubles getting it to perform the way I’d like but that is more a testament to me and not a fault of the yoyo likely. So I don’t want to really speak on it until I get it dialed in.
I likely should have went with the bearing model
Damn this looks awesome…
What’s NFK?
Al5?
