Okay I got one more. Most of my yo-yos are loopers or undersized. Because of this I rarely successfully land a trapeze unless I grab my one regular sized yoyo. ---

I’m terrible at doing tricks, so I stopped trying to learn a lot of them and instead I just spend like 10-15 minutes every day entertaining my cat and dog with sleepers. ---

I’ll jump on the injury bandwagon…hit my left eyebrow with a Speedaholic XX. Bled forever and now I have a lovely scar. I also string-burned open my finger trying to learn super flow. I can’t do the basic tower because I skipped it. I don’t know if I can actually do kwijibo because once I learned the hop up and crossed arms part, I started using that with other elements and forgot to finish learning the rest. Same with the matrix kick-out. ---

> [@DCorella](#): > > I’m terrible at doing tricks, so I stopped trying to learn a lot of them and instead I just spend like 10-15 minutes every day entertaining my cat and dog with sleepers. I’m with you. I just enjoy throwing and not trying to do much fancy. I’ve actually been practicing the “First 10” tricks just to have something to show people. Though I hate doing tricks in front of people., ---

Im still pretty beginner/intermediate but I have a smallish trick vocabulary because I keep trying to learn long combos/tech stuff. I’m getting there this isnt that embarrassing. I don’t know DNA because I am kind of just not interested in it? I want to know it, maybe later on I’ll gain interest for learning it. My most embarrassing is probably that I already dinged my wyvern’s egg cerakote wyvern… It was so dumb too I got like 5 little dings in one go 😬 at least the dings are black. It still plays perfect so its my every day carry yoyo now. It’s like losing all your souls in a souls game. Feels awful but at the same time sets you free. ---

I am really rough with my yoyos so 90% of them are dinged. I’ve been yoyoing on and off for 5-6 years and only now decided to get serious about yoyoing and learn advanced tricks I dont really like bimetals. I find them too heavy and I hate the clunky feeling when it hits the end of the string. After 5 years, I still struggle with Boing-E-Boing and Eli hops because I have NO sense of rhythm. ---

I was cut bad by very nice bimetal yo-yo once. I was very upset. I did really like the throw, but once a yo-yo has bitten you… you have to put it down. This is the embarrassing part. I dismembered it hung onto the parts for a few months, threw each part away on a different trash day over a few weeks. Very di Gregorio ( day go wop ) of me. ---

I really like the way your sentence reads…… The way you worded it makes it seem that your girlfriend smacked you in the head with a yo-yo and then applied a bag of frozen peas to your head, lol. Obviously I know what you meant…. But it’s still funny…:wink: ---

Dude I’ve been throwing for over a decade and I still wind up a dead yoyo too. I’m at a pretty advanced level throwing. I can kinda do some fancy starts but I just prefer winding it up I guess.
