That’s just weird
About half the tricks I create that way work, but the other half just ends up in a huge knot.
Half of them turn out great
The other half make you feel like you missed a step.
When you stay up an extra 30 minutes just trying to do a certain trick, completely forgetting for a while you have “responsibility” or “aspirations” or whatever.
They’re just things made up by the man. I’m not a part of the system.
When you keep bumping this thread.
when a mysterious yoyoer bumped this thread and then you commented
When you comment on this thread just to follow up.
When you don’t know why you browse yoyoexpert more than actually play yoyos.
… well, actually… uh… hmm… that’s actually quite accurate.
When your parents call and you unconsciosly drift the conversation into a new trick you’ve made up.
That just doesn’t seem right
How about when you bring a yoyo to a soccer tournament knowing that you can’t possibly have time to throw it but you bring it anyways.
.
It might not seem realistic but it happens. It’s not like I’m an independent adult though. I’m a teenager- but if my mom calls while I’m out it seems like the conversation always turns to Yoyoing somehow. It’s not like if someone calls with serious news I drift the conversation to Yoyoing. That’s just wrong.
When your yoyo is expensive then your phone.
people watching and complimenting you get annoying because it hapens everywhere you go
When you hear someone has a titanium hip and you wonder “Can I make a yoyo out of that?” This actually happened to me today.
When you feel empty when you forget to bring a yoyo with you, almost feels like leaving your cell phone or wallet behind.
And at my work (where I convert video tapes and other obsolete media to digital media) I recently took on responsibility for repairing busted VHS tapes. Sometimes I have to open the shell and pull the spool out. I’ll find myself grabbing the spool by the center and with my “throw hand” so to speak, will pull the tape gently to get enough excess to work with, but will pull in such a way I’m doing a pull start on a hubstack yoyo.
Lastly, when you realized you missed the opportunity of filming the Zipper trick when at the fair. I was at my local county fair over the weekend and was near the carnival (could see the Zipper poking over the top of one of the other carnie rides). I was doing the Zipper trick but never actually got to make it to the crowded midway otherwise I would have filmed the Zipper trick in front of the classic carnival attraction.
When this keeps getting bumped.
