Right! In my interpretation, “yoyo boomer” doesn’t have so much to do with age. Its more about a certain overall mindset. A yo-yo boomer can be 80 or they can be 19 as long as they like throwing casually for fun, high walls, responsive/fixie as well as unresponsive, friendly community, collecting, etc. and it’s not a requirement to have any of those interests necessarily. I am a millennial but as far as tech goes (and yoyo), I’m a boomer. I could probably be considered a boomer in a lot of ways, just not generationally. ---

I vote that any responsive yo-yo created needs to have a “Get off my lawn” colorway. ---

Possible **“Get off my lawn”** colorway scheme **4Q** with **4F** splash - AKA - **“Walt”**. ![get off my lawn](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/2/9/6295cfefeab8b32e6512372e97ef86dc95db41c2.jpeg) Edit BTW: Many posts ago I suggested **Plymouth Roadrunner Plum Crazy Purple with rust splashes**. Reason I suggested it was it reminded me of our neighborhood get off my lawn guy. I was the only kid allowed to step on his lawn when he asked me **once** to mow his grass when he went on vacation. Despite the lapse in stepping on his lawn no one was allowed to touch his extremely hot daughter! Full disclosure I once did get a 30 second kiss on a Truth or Dare. Oh yah, I digress. He had a 1972 Plymouth Roadrunner Plum Crazy Purple with a WB Roadrunner stencil. Beep Beep! ---

The 4mm YWET is something I’ve tried to get recreated for awhile. It plays great responsive and unresponsive. If this was considered, I’d suggest a 4mm gap, 64g, remove the quadfist response and replace with a single, wider response. > [@G2\_Jake](#): > > Unresponsive - organic, higher wall, larger response than 19. Schmoove rings? IRG. Flat size C? > > Responsive - thin. Looper style rims? > > Capped? Or Silver bullet style? Thinner gap for unresponsive & responsive. Nothing over 4mm for an unresponsive. As a “yoyo boomer” I dislike these 4.5+mm gaps 🤣 There is also a great 0A thread if anyone here missed it. > [@The 0A Thread (Fixed Axle & Modern Responsive)](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/the-0a-thread-fixed-axle-modern-responsive/304228): > > I’ve been thinking a lot how we should have a dedicated 0A (fixed axle and modern responsive) thread.

I looked at those Bumblebees and I’m mildly tempted. But I noticed YYF put their Turbo Grind Machines on SALE!! They’re no longer $60. Now they’re going for the incredibly low price of 🥁🥁$59.99 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/0/3/30304b7555a2b8f2adb033677bc685bd2f6571a8.jpeg) ---

Ha. The worst is when they put something at 49.99 just so your a penny off of getting free shipping and have to pad your order with something. Drives me mad. I nearly grabbed the mystery box but the fact it doesn’t trigger free shipping in its own made me back off. Also do I need more unresponsive yyf yo-yos… probably not… ---

Just to Antagonize… These are dead stock. When will you find this again? These are Late 90’s? New Yoyos, are well… new… At least in production. I didnt start playing yoyo till 2009. So 10 years behind these Bees. Initial thought; The “Nostalgic Vibe” was definitely a thing. Loving it. Have Fun. ---
