I feel you. Every time my hands look like this after climbing, I know that there’s no way I’ll be touching a yo-yo that day… or even next day :sweat_smile:

Biggest pet peeve is access to yoyo communities and stores where I am. I live in Canada, and in my specific province yoyo’s are essentially a foreign language. I have been yoyoing since 2010 (with a few year break in between) and have only made it to one contest (MWR in Minneapolis) as it was only 8 hours away. besides that, never met another yoyoer in 15 years of throwing! crazy!

Busting knuckles and bruising fingertips with accidental binds. The stainless is especially biting.:face_with_diagonal_mouth:

yeah, meeting other yoyoers in person takes legitimate effort. its incredibly rare to stumble into other throwers almost everywhere.

Collectible throws resale value. And retail price for that matter. I fully understand why the price is justified, but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s $200+ for a toy. An absolutely awesome toy made with ultra-premium materials, but a toy nonetheless.

This doesn’t extend to ebay prices for some pieces, those are unjustifiable :skull::skull::skull:

On the subject of collectible yoyos, another peeve I have is where someone will buy 15 units of the same yoyo, just in different colors, and not play with any of them. Collecting different colorways I can understand, but having every single one be a shelf queen makes me scratch my head. The justification: “resale value” :face_with_steam_from_nose:. But hey, it’s your money; it’s yours to burn as a sacrifice for the yoyo idols, lol.

Me, any yoyo I purchase, I intend to play with. I couldn’t care less about what it’ll sell for in ten years. I just wanna use it the way it was intended to be used, as a skill toy
