Ok, what is your embarrassing yoyo confession?
Mine… In my five years of learning to throw, I still wind the yoyo up after a dead spin. Never learnt any of the fancy ways of starting a dead yoyo.
Your turn!

My gf once had to apply a bag of frozen peas to my head after smacking it with a yoyo so. 
Shame? A little. Pain? Also a little.
Also that just happened.

I only know one bind and can’t snap start an unresponsive yoyo. But I can loop for days.

I’m very selective with which sleeps next to me on my nightstand.

I’ve been throwing for 14 years, and I’m not that good. …but I’m okay with that.
I put in a lot of work to try and come up with my own tricks, but I came to the conclusion that other people’s tricks are better, so I just learn other people’s tricks. …and I’m okay with that.

I feel you @LeftyThrower24!
I smacked myself in the nose with the yo-yo while throwing a breakaway. I said some four letter words. Then my wife came upstairs and says why is your nose bleeding.

It’s no so much your head that concerns me, but the fact that both of your arms were paralysed after your injury!

I used to put lots of lube in my bearings because I thought that would help them spin really well. My thinking: more lube = more spin.

I don’t wash my bearings. Never have I ever washed a bearing for the whole 5 years I’ve been yoyoing. And the reason is I’m very lazy

I am ready for my walk of shame:
I never change the string until is exploding because it’s boring.
I do not even remember a name or how to do the “standard ladder” tricks.
When learning how to yoyoing at the very beginning, I jumped soooo many beginner tricks just because “this doesn’t look very cool”.
I open my yoyos very frequently to take out the knot and because can’t be bothered to find the tool to do it.
Pads get changed only when they fall off.
I have no clue how a yoyo work, is made, why it works and why they look/play different.
Front style? No, thank you.
When I go to film a combo I just put the yoyo in my bag without a pouch, it goes with keys and whatever.
Ding is a daily sound that doesn’t bother me at all.
2a look super cool, 2a yoyos are super ugly.
Mom and dad, I am sorry I ding ever single piece of furniture in the house when I was living there, yes it was my fault, no I will never admit that.
I fake to be sick couple of times with an ex girlfriend just to stay home alone all the weekend and play all day with a new yoyo.

I never learned a picture trick because they do not interest me. I only do frontstyle because it’s all that interests me. I don’t even practice trapeze. I now have begleri in my hand more than a yoyo. I’m getting over a big crush. She moved away.
Edit: still throw every day!

I used to throw forward sleeper and hates throwing breakways from 2007-2015 until one of my friend in the yoyo community forced me to throw properly coz it looks awkward and now I liked it and never looked back.
