Because then you have expectations and duties. Go here, play here, win there, do this, do that, come up with something new. some people are allergic to that 4 letter word “work”. Even if the work in itself is fun and what you enjoy doing. Some feel there is to much pressure put on them and thus ceases to be fun anymore.

Not saying I would mind, just how some view it.

We’re all about havin’ some fun.

Except for Eric. We make Eric do all the work.

this could not be further from my experience of being “on a team”.

i guess it depends on how you’re wired. the only ‘expectation or duty’ i’ve experienced on SPYY has been ‘play how you want to play and try to make it look fun’… which is exactly what i want to do anyway. playing awesome yo-yo’s feels a lot more like a privilege than a duty. SPYY has designed 3 yo-yo’s based on what i’ve said i wanted to play… 2 of which were departures from what’s popular and sells, and 1 of which IS MADE OF WOOD! i’ve been able to go to contests all over the place, even when i wasn’t competing. i’ve grown close with my team, which includes ridiculously amazing players and people. man… i don’t know how i handle it either.

now i agree that you shouldn’t accept a sponsorship just to be sponsored, and that you should really only link yourself to companies that you really dig and identify with on every possible level… but when you FIND that, don’t sit on the side and think ‘well, then it’s a job’… because being a on a yo-yo pro team is just about what it sounds like: THE BEST JOB EVER. sure, i think every company would be stoked to have a champion on their roster, and i think every company would like to have players that do put themselves out there. some might even have some significant expectations (i.e. throwing their yo-yo’s or wearing their shirt) if they’re flying you all over the world because you “play with toys good”… but the idea that being on a team ‘ruins the fun’ is, to me, absurd.

oh, and i will select “SPYY”. :wink:

32

I don’t know why people don’t want to be sponsored you get free yoyos and all you have to do is compete with the yoyos you get for FREE.

33

Ed, you make it sound… Eh… Like a good thing.

You make it sound like I would think it would be.

Having fun playing with TOYS as a JOB. Is this the movie BIG?

I think this is why some are chosen and we can’t just demand sponsorship.

I myself think I would enjoy these things too.

Hooray to the sponsored.

34

I have a team. It’s kind of a local thing but you can still join! Just PM me on FB @ Vincent Goh (the one with 1000+ friends because my cousin and I have the same name, but fewer friends) and I might just add you.

It’s called Big Hot Dog Boys or BHDB for short.

35

Why big hotdog boys do you at least make yoyos?
