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 1. 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 😃 2. 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 3. 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 4. 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. ---

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. ---

I gave myself a minor concussion with my Chief. A missed full speed knee bind sent the Chief straight into my temple. I felt like an idiot afterwards.
