Whether it was your first real yo-yo, the one that helped you land a dream trick, or just one you’ll never sell..what yo-yo has the most meaning to you, and why?
My OG OD 54. It isn’t that special, just a sold green color. But it was my first metal yoyo and the one that I threw for 2 years while I lived in Kyiv. Everyday, I would walk the streets of Kyiv and throw that thing around. It is beat from hitting random buildings, sidewalks, and whatever else I couldn’t avoid. Surprisingly, still mostly smooth, It is retired now and living its best life in a case. But every once in a while I bring it out and remember the first slack trick I hit or my first Eli Hop.

That’s so awesome! Seems like a special yoyo to me 
.
Mine was the Super Yo Triple Play. Back in elementary school, they had a yo-yo demo using Super Yo yo-yos, and I remember thinking yo-yoing was one of the coolest things I had ever seen. After the demo, they had a bunch of yo-yos for sale, and the best yo-yo that I could afford was the Triple Play, so that is the one I bought. I have been yo-yoing off and on ever since, and I will be yo-yoing forever because of that thing.

Sengoku Shogun is the one for me. I honestly don’t play it much, and it’s nothing special (imo) but it was the yoyo that got me back into it.
I played as a kid during the boom (2010ish) but lost interest as kids do. When I was 19, I ruptured my spleen snowboarding and couldn’t do anything for months, which led me to trying more “stationary” hobbies.
On a whim, I decided to buy a “nice” yoyo, since I’d never been able to get better than a whip/one as a kid. 6 years later and it proved to be a good choice

5*v2. I just remember receiving it and falling in love with it. It was dead smooth and the blasted finish felt so nice. Learned so many tricks on it. I often wonder who owns it now or where it is.
