Just leaving work and on my way to cart kids around for various sports/activities. How long do you think it’ll go?

Have fun. 
This might be too late because it’s been 2 days but is the workhorse still available?
someone else will make the final call but since you just joined the forums i imagine youre going to have to provide some sort of proof of feedback

I technically haven’t shipped it yet, but as mentioned you being so new will probably require something that shows you’re trustworthy enough to pass it on in a month. I’m pretty new here too, so I’ll let the others decide how to proceed.

Just so you understand the hesitation. There have been a few incidents lately where persons started a new account, requested a Pay it Forward, and then disappeared from existence once they received it. So there is a tremendous amount of caution being exercised to hopefully prevent this from happening again.

That is totally fair and I completely understand. No hard feelings if it’s gets decided that it shouldn’t come to me.
I am interested in buying a Workhorse, but it looks like orders we collected back in November. Did I miss the boat this round?

This first round has sold out however we are already talking through a next version, boosted, or lite or some other fun gimmick like spiked version or something for another round in the nearish future.
As for PIF participation @aorear85 if you have trading feedback on some other platform or something we would accept that otherwise work on building up good repor and I promise you’ll be able to get on these things in the future.

Due to your newness, I am not comfortable having the PIF sent to you.
Hang around a little while, let us get to know you. Maybe consider joining the club?
The Original order was in November. We had over 20 extras that just sold over the last two weeks. We are currently in discussion of doing either another run, or tweaking the design a little for the next run (Maybe a Proto run of the changes.
Keep an eye out on the BST, I have seen a couple posted already.
Have Fun.

To add to @Pun1sh3R s comment. If you stalk the BST or even create a BST post saying you are looking for a Workhorse, you’re likely to find one. Someone has already gotten one this way.

Thanks for all the discussion. I’ll definitely look into the BST page and see if anything comes up. I have a Weekender on order so maybe they will be enough for now along with the Origen I recently got. I fully understand the hesitation and hold no hard feelings. As far as officially joining the Boomer club, what’s the process? How to I join?

One has but to ask.

It’s convenient because you have to donate a Weekender to another member of the group to get in.
…Just kidding, you pretty much already completed the steps, just gotta say “I would like to join.” Also “I promise I won’t be a jerk,” if you want bonus points.

Wait…I could have gotten BONUS points!?

The Weekender will indeed give you a different play experience than the Origen.

I’m pretty sure this was a one time offer available only for the next 10 minutes.
I would like to join the Boomer club. Responsive play is what I prefer and I’ll be 40 this year so I definitely remember the 90s boom and seeing demos in elementary school and being wowed as a kid.
I really like the Origen. It plays how I was hoping my 3 in 1 was gonna play when I bought it a decade ago. Decent sleep time but very predictable response. I can do old school 1A tricks but also loop (as best as I can loop anyway). It stalls great, now I need to learn to kick flip. I’d also like to learn how to do regens and more looping style tricks. I assume it’s the combo of the small bearing, light weight and larger response pads that make it feel like it does.
The Weekender seems like it fits a similar bill especially if it’s really greased up but I guess I’ll find out. I like Doc Pop’s content so I wanted to support what he’s doing. I also have an art background so I appreciate his non yoyo content too. I also picked up a Bolt because why not 
I definitely like collecting as much as I like throwing. Yoyos are also much cheaper than pinball machines which is my other main hobby.

on the subject of pif’s ive had the dead orse for WAY too long. sorry folks!
First to post they want to try it will get to play it for the next month with the understanding that after the time is up they will post a similar message and cover the shipping to move it to the next person. Participants are required to be in the contiguous United States to keep shipping fair and even and feedback/rep is required.
