Hey all! I’m quite obsessed with what “Yo-Yo” was like in this era, the tricks were stunning, the music was great, the outfits were… well… anyway, I’m very interested in the Yo-Yos from this time, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what they think were “The Yo-Yo’s to have” from _2004_ to _2006_– thanks! ---

The Freehand One from the OG mold The Freehand Zero The Throw Monkey The Flying Squirrel I can’t spell Flying Panda and I think the MG came out in 03 or 04 At this time especially with duncan modding became huge. Takeshi was modding yoyos with antennas during the viking tour. Just absolute legends that was on that old Duncan crew. ---

I imagine the Speeder and Hitman must have both been popular around then with their competitive success and particularly how influential the Hitman was. ---

I 'm a fan of the yoyojam xcon from that time period. but not sure if that was on the one to have list for everyone… i think dark magic and maybe lyn fury were a little more popular. ---

I started playing yoyo in that era with a Yoyofactory Fast201 because it was the only acceptable one available in stores here in Italy as far as i remember. Then i had a couple of LynFurys, a Kickside and a Hitman, all from YoyoJam. I had a Duncan Freehand Zero also. My holy grail was an Oxygene yoyo but i never got one sadly. Here’s a photo of what survived to these days ![1000012293](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/c/8/6c8aa4272a326f1fce2730c8e8557e3c16af4445.jpeg) ---

Literally everyone had a FHZ and at least one hybrid from YYJ. Modded FHs were the rage. The one I really wanted but didn’t have back then was a FH MG. ---

That’s interesting— the only yo-yo I have from that era is an MG! (Okay, so I guess it’s one of the new silicone recessed MG’s, but still very awesome!) ---

My trusty Turbo Bumblebee GT and a yoyojam Super SpinFaktor. Ended up losing them in 2003 when I was 18. I bought a yoyojam Patriot to take with me to college. It was my only yoyo for 5 years of college. I did a lot of off string with it, tossing it back and forth to friends at the park. We would see how high we could throw it and still catch. That was one resilient yoyo. Finally decided after that to buy a metal yoyo. I bought a yoyofactory Hectic off the yoyonation BST, and that sparked something in me. I ended up doing hundreds of trades on that forum, getting to try out so many throws from the 2008-2013 era. That’s likely why I’m nostalgic for throws from that timeline and constantly hunting down favorites from then. ---
