Yoyo Boomers Club

I’ll add a wood throw in there, favorite of mine, so you can experience it as well.

Shoot me your address @rkalajian

Then Cody can keep it when it’s gets back to him eventually as a sign of love for the love he has shown

I don’t want to steal it from Rob, but if he’s already had a chance with it, I’d love to have a go.

You cool with MinerJ giving it a go?

I’ll stock it with some string and you can give it a Whirl after him if you want?

I can’t tell you why people hold music festivals in the parklands instead of at the showgrounds.

Like, events were shifted away from the NW parks because they were too close to the police stables, but moved to the NE parks nearer the zoo. The stables are going to be moved further North at some point anyway. No-one holds concerts in the SW parks which is all netball courts and cricket pitches for reasons that aren’t made public.

Other than that, lyrebirds are from the eastern forests, not South Australia. It would be copying birds and other sounds unnatural to its region regardless

Ever look into getting a minted coin made? Not a printed coin? I’d be down to buy one, maybe a founders edition and members edition?

I’m amazed you got to see that Screech Owl! Beautiful little bird. They are not that common

Honestly, I haven’t. I feel like it would be a lot of effort, and the minimum purchase would be too high.

@rkalajian Look what just came in today! Haha.
Must have had a long adventure, but seems like we have a super limited edition Eco-Friendly Reusable Juice Box up for grabs in one of our future events after all. :rofl:

If I can find it I’ll send you the info. I found several companies that had minimum orders of around 10 and discounts the more you bought. Want to say, depending on the metal they were made out of, they started at $20each.

This further increases my desire to build a setup to melt aluminum and cast forms of silly things. One day when I’m not worried about small kids messing with stuff I’ll do it. Can’t have nice things till all the kids are idk 20 lol

Hi folks, finally got my hands on my workhorse a few days back and thought I’d share some thoughts..

I’ve been kind of comparing to my respawn which I’ve loved since picking it up last month. My initial impression was that the workhorse was a better performer but not as much fun to play as the respawn however, after a few days of playing I’ve changed my mind and I have to say that the workhorse surpasses my respawn.

At the start I found the workhorse slightly less forgiving with the narrower catch zone and like it needed more precision in throwing, but after a few days throwing it I’m finding that the weight is so perfectly distributed that it’s easy to throw as precisely as needed and also to correct yourself if you land something crookedly e.g landing a crooked trapeze is easy to correct with the slightest movement.

I’m also really liking the higher internal wall, it seems like I can gather more layers of string in there before it snaps back, which I didn’t expect to be the case.

Finally, it’s more pocketable which is great!

Apologies if my musings are somewhat incoherent, TLDR; love the workhorse, 10/10 would buy again :slight_smile:

For me, workhorse beats any metal responsive I’ve played to date. I haven’t tried EVERY metal responsive ever, but I’ve tried my fair share, including many that most people consider “the best”.

Nothing comes close to the perfection that @G2_Jake created for us.

I don’t know that I’ve ever actually said it, but I’ve definitely thought it… Thank you, Jake, for taking the time to design such incredible yoyos for something that mostly started out as a joke.

How lucky are we to be in this incredible club?

Aside from my wife and kids, it’s my favorite group of people that I belong to. We have so many skilled, talented, kind, generous, compassionate, crotchety, awesome, funny, beautiful people among our numbers. I’m grateful to count myself among you all :heart:

Edit: thanks for pulling that out of me @BandH :joy: apparently I needed to get that off my chest and you ALMOST saying respawn was better is what did it :rofl: glad you saw the light :raising_hands:t3:
