Hey,
recently i thought about all the funny stuff I did when i first started YoYoing… and maybe even until later. There are some pretty funny things IMO so i wanted to ask you guys what some funny things are that you did, or someone you know did because you or they just didn´t know better.
I´ll start
I thought lubing a bearing was extremely important… so i did it about every week… and up to 3 full drops… i gues that explains why my bearings didn´t run to well
When i first learned the simple GT, I didn´t realize that you had to pop out to the front, the guy in the tutorial just said to pop it “up” so i did… took me way to long to figure out that hitting the top string didn´t do anything
A friend of mine refused to call my YoYo´s YoYo´s… she insisted on calling them Yo´s since a YoYo has to come up when you tug it
I tryed to teach some YoYoing to a few of my friends, and i needet to change the string on his YoYo, He said he would just do it himself… well he put the loop for the slipknot around the bearing
those are the ones that come to mind right now!
lets see what you guys got!
Lol I’m still a noob but I shattered a light ballast at work when throwing a super strong around the world with a crummy yoyo in attempt to do 20 around the worlds.
Also I bought super thick hemp and thought it would work well. The string engulfed the whole yoyo lol.
my friend brought super long strind and every time he throw his yoyo he ding it…
And I thought that if I put more lube drop the bearing be faster well I lucky the it was a responsive bearing
I love the videos of people getting hurt by their yoyos. Not necessarily a noob thing all the time but always entertaining watching a knuckle get cracked.
so i wanted to ask you guys what some funny things are that you did, or someone you know did because you or they just didn´t know better.
dont wanna get hit by that…
