i used to have like 96 no jives.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/e/e/cee856cd4ef69db148c390afe2ae4cca65342309.jpeg)

now i have like.. maybe 18?

why have them? i mean… it’s complicated.

**partly function** : i am primarily a fixed axle player and have been for the last 2 decades. for a long time, the no jive was (in my opinion) the very best, most consistent fixie out there. i got really used to throwing it and it feels like home.

**partly frailty** : a wood yo-yo is inherently more ephemeral than a metal yo-yo. it takes a lot, but they can and do wear out and get very banged up over time. it’s good to have multiples.

**partly variety** : there are just A LOT of really cool, weird variations of no jives, and for a long time i hoped to collect one of each. now i just have my players. they’re fun and rad!

**partly association** : this is the weird one, and i think a reason people largely try to ignore when buying yo-yos. i have all sorts of connections and attachments tied up with the no jive. there’s tom and brad themselves, whom i love and respect and who have been so good to me. from the beginning, tom’s view of yo-yoing and its place in the world and its capacity as a tool for spiritual growth really spoke to me. (to the extent i have both a no jive and the “infinity planet” tattooed on my person lol. and many other friends who see the no jive in a similar way. you don’t connect with “the state of yo” through any one yo-yo or another, but if your associations with it continue to inspire you to pick it up…

so yeah. that’s why so many no jives.

Why did you pair down your collection? I’m trying to ramp up my no jive collection. I do find it to be the most consistent playing wood fixed axle on top of no other yoyo feels like a no jive. I also have a deep personal connection to San francisco, and while I know most no jives were not made in San Francisco it’s still represents SF, at least for me.

No Jives, 6 different 3 in 1s, one fixed axle woody

2 Plasms, my favorite bearing plastic, will grab a couple more if there’s ever a second batch.

2 Weekenders, would like 1 or 2 more in different colors from what I currently own. One is currently setup as a fixed axle with a blank from @AudreySickburn .

Wooden butterflies (1950s/1960s) love how they play and feel. Got them all pretty cheap. One is a beater that I carry around frequently, others are in great shape and don’t leave the house.

Butterfly plastic, newer mold. They’re cheap, play consistently and if I loose it, I have a bunch more at home.

I bought my wife’s engagement ring when I was 20. Had no money at the time. She’s not the type to care about something like that but after 25 years she deserved to have something a little nicer.

I kept my fav players and the cool ones which sit on a shelf can do so on someone else’s shelf. They went to someone who certainly appreciates them, and I assure you my love for the No Jive is undiminished.

Oh boy, panic buying, my former nervous habit of covid 😅

MK1 HD 2x (two colorways I like, and it’s that damn good) this is just an awesome throw, usually more power and spin time than I normally need though

Canopy AL I think I have around 10 of these? Haven’t actually counted, it’s my favorite unresponsive throw, so I got one of every color, and a few S grades to beat on. Currently chewing on a LightSky that may be graduated to 5A one day

Duncan Butterfly: I have not counted, but I’d estimate around 40, I really love the new molds, and for 0A, these are everything I want. Bought a lot in case they change for the worse or something happens to the molds.

Duncan FH1 4x: The Tyler Severence colorways went way too hard and I bought them all, plus an obligatory unknown edition

I really used to try and maintain Two of my fave’s. One for throwing/beatin up, and then one for the shelf/display. I’ve sorta moved away from that for the majority of my collection, preferring variety as opposed to doubles.

i also won’t count throws that are different editions/runs, but that makes sense doesn’t it? They different! 😁 I have three weekenders, but one’s an OG without finger cups, one’s a cerakote, and then one’s a newer run. Firecrackers are another one, different bearing sizes, So I’d never call them the same. Same with my Alleycat 650’s, they have different diameters. I have a docpop Thing, and an older Toybania version. So, while a lot of them appear very similar, they differ. I have a number of different deep/deeper/deepest iterations that are the same, as well as g2 Respawns. Nevertheless though, the Ano’s are different.

I dunno, I don’t have very many throws that I can say I have two of the same. Other people may say have I have two of the same, but they may not appreciate the nuance. 😁

I am amused. 🙂 There is a yoyo of which I own no fewer than _four_ examples.

It’s the Duncan Imperial. 🤪 A really good follow-up question is: “Why?” All I can say is people kept giving them to me when they found out I like yoyos. [shrug] Two of them are ones I’ve thrown a lot. I have a gold-flake one that got me through my Master’s degree and a green one that got me through my Ph.D.

The other two are a Glow advertiser for Rice Krispies (blame Mom) and a very vintage No.400 in yellow still NOS in original packaging ($1.00). That one and a few others came to me from a young lady I knew in university (golly, 45 years ago) whose grandfather owned a toy store in Portland, OR.

When he died the family just passed out the toys to the kids. She ended up with a crate of NOS Duncans. You can see why I thought I was pretty well supplied with throws until I happened to look in here!

Just the Dressel Nimbus 2x.

It’s my favorite yoyo. One softer and one shiny color. The first one already got a cut in the surface when I dinged it, so I was worried, if it’s not available anymore. Still no vibe though!
