Your embarrassing confession?

Everyone there wll be happy to see you. There are far too few of us.

I got arrested with a yoyo on me one time. (Not condoning getting arrested, long story short…obey the law.)

Anyway, I guess the yoyo fell out of my pocket into the back seat of the patrol car. So about three weeks later, the cops came to my house. My wife answered the door and said “What did he do this time?”

The cop laughed and said “He left his yoyo in my car.” And he gave it to her.

It was a 2014 eH

I remember being about 10 years old and yoyofactory released the G5 with the multi colored z stacks. I begged my parents for it and finally was able to convince them to spend a hundred dollars.

I lived in a shore town at the time and it was the middle of summer, so some of my family was visiting. We were outside of a resturant when I was showing them tricks, and halfway thru a trick I hit the yoyo on the ground and the z stack went flying somewhere on the ground.

Sad, but obviously not a big deal, but not to 10 year old me. I screamed so loud I and starting freaking out on the ground. I could not stop crying and was so angry that I lost a zstack and dinged the yoyo.

I cringe very hard thinking about that story. Sorry mom and dad.

I literally almost set up an appointment for my car on the 25th.

Right as she was confirming I was like “no no no, I need another date”

I remembered at the last second I’m going to Rocky Mountain Regionals.

I consider myself a pretty good yoyoer, but i listed out the number of tricks (beyond just mounts) that i knew and uhh… 16. I’ve been yoyoing for 5 years. I have more than 16 yoyos.

Just been back into yoyoing for about a month so don’t have much. I have rage-snapped strings twice and did have a fit and spiked my Torque on the living room floor. Yeah, I’m 62 and acted like a ten year old. See yoyoing keeps you young.

I was looping mining my own business and then I hit some kid with my right looper dead in the face. naturally he started crying and his mom comes over and I apologized and explained to this kid’s mom what had just happened and as she was walking away i head her murmur “this is why yoyos are stupid and a waste” and that lady is why i spend hours in my room practicing.

It ls your fault “Her” kid was not paying attention and walked into your yoyo?

Life Lesson, pay attention.

I feel bad for the kid. He probably will never know the joy of yoyo with a attitude like that from Mom.
