What is your favorite yoyo?
My answer hasnât changed in years- 7075 Dert!
I usually go through honeymoon phases with new yo-yos for a couple of days, and then itâll just get thrown into a rotation of my favorite yo-yos.
I donât think I have one specific favorite, but lately Iâve been really digging my Colossus 4.
This was the âDadâ answer lol
My favorite yoyo is the shutter
At the moment, Iâd have to say the One Drop VTWO (when fitted with a Boss Rage bearing).
really digging the cadence right now
Vosun TiPower. Itâs floaty yet stable, and can handle some complicated tricks.
âAfter all this time?â
âAlways.â
Well thatâs good, considering you got it tattooed on your arm lol.
OYY Lust. Something about the weight, shape, stability, power, feel on the string and the way it moves are just right for me.
The Lust is basically a bimetal Top Deck, which is probably a major reason it plays so well.
Itâs been pointed out by another OYY/Turning Point fan that itâs like a big brother to the Leviathan 4b. It definitely plays different than the Top Deck, but the shapes are quite similar.
ed1 Awesome tattoo man!
Arenât Boss Rageâs the best bearings?
Luftverk/CLYW
Tundra
AMS Hardcoat
W/Full ceramic centering bearing.
How do you like those full ceramics?
They are lighter, a little louder, and really adds to the experience. Ive played 3 other Tundras. and they felt different than mine with. Steel bearings also reduced the magical âsingâ that the AMS does. It sounds like its from space.
Ive ran full ceramics in other throws and they are alright, but they really seem to shine in Tiâs.
Its weight change, and soap/water cleaning is a neat thing is you have to clean the bearing out and about, nice to not have to worry about rust on the bearing.
They are expensive and what it brings to the table usually isnt worth the cost, but in certain throws, its freaking magic, bro.
Ha thanks. I donât think itâs really an objectively âgoodâ tattoo, but I like it and âno regertsâ.
Def love me some No Jive.
I think it looks perfectly OK, for a tattoo! Iâve seen wayyy worse than that, if you are worried!
Well; if Ed decides he really doesnât like the quality of that No Jive Tat; he can alway ink over it with a jumbo tat of a Rev-G.
Or something else funâŚ
Honestly; that tattoo lacks: depth, detail, visual impact, fine lines and highlights⌠and the monotone coloring gives the image a 2 dimensional feel.
When I started painting Custom Motorcycles 50 years ago; I started seeing more tattoos than I ever cared to see. I was fascinated in the extremely Wiiiiide range of âqualityâ in finished ink.
I am neither a fine artist or a tattoo artist. But; I guess after about 20 years of dealing with bikers; I started getting a pretty good handle on the differences of good ink and regrettable ink. And that 20 years was about 30 years ago, lol.
The good news is obvious. Ed is OK with his No Jive ink. It sure looks like a No Jive. And although much larger than an actual No Jive; the aspects are within scale. The âvisualâ sends a message that tells you something about the man.
There is easily at least one Tattoo artist in every major city in the Entire United States; that could ink a better No Jive tattoo.
But more important is that no matter how AWESOME of a No Jive tattoo a person could end up putting on their arm; the chances of that person being a more Amazing fixed axle player than Ed; is totally non existent.
I like Edsâ ink because I like Ed. Itâs a down to Earth Tat for a down to Earth guy. It fits his easy going manner.
âŚand his mad skills are in an atmosphere far above Earth.
