This is the second time I’ve taken a non-yoyo idea from this forum and used it for gifting. Thanks!
What wood is the one on the right? Looks absolutely gorgeous, I’d totally cop one from ya @RC_yo-yo
It’s curly bubinga. Beautiful stuff. Unfortunately I destroyed most of it trying new processes. Smelled nasty when cutting it. Like
Aw man lmao, if you ever get more of it, I’d love to buy one from you. Bubinga is a stunning wood - I’m a drummer and on high end exotic kits, woods like bubinga are frequently used. Perhaps a properly stained and lightly glossed walnut could give a similar look?
LOL, when the note said “this one’s Bubinga” I thought that meant that Bubinga was the name you gave that design. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Today I fell in love.
Deep State, color is a olive gold mix. Might try and half swap with a clear for the Eetsit look.
Playing it with a thick lubed bearing. I’d have killed for this back in the nineties.
huh, how’d you score a Rhino already man? You got an inside man?
Hi @hesperaux those are part of the preorder event back in October
Oh dang, I completely spaced on that one. Oh well, there’s always next time.
This guy finally came to Canada. Pdx-yo Locus in Midnight Blue (Looks black due to my warm lighting). This yoyo is FANTASTIC! And it is absolutely stunning, feels great in the hand, is dead smooth and plays with a perfect balance of string presence and controlled hop. I don’t know how more people aren’t talking about this one, I thought it would sell out pretty quick. This is my first Pdx-yo and it feels very premium! - I highly recommend!
Ps: Does anyone know what string it came with? Seems to be a hybrid poly-nylon. Feels nice!
That was my first thought too. It’s the yo-yo I dreamed of as a kid.
Iconic Ti; 2017 Luftverk Ti Peak Raw and Knot Bads. Happy 15th Peak anniversary.
Oops wrong thread, meant too post in what I’m Throwing 2021, I’ve had this one for a minute.
They picked a such a great set of colorways for this run of Akitas. Horsehead Nebula, Wolf Lake, and Northern Lights all look so nice. I imagine everybody who picked one up had a really hard time deciding which one to grab.
super jealous you got your RBC already!
