Hey all, stay with me and read this so that you guys don’t have to go thru what I did. So I was going to a scout camping trip and grabbed a spare string and my raw majesty, it was my go to throw for the past week. The day went on very well going from one scout skill to another, when we came to the obstacle course I did not even think of the majesty in my pocket until I fell on it in a potato sack race it hurt so much! It felt like I fell on a rock, after walking back to the starting point and checking my yoyo I was shocked to find the yoyo bent into a V. I opened it up expecting a bent axle or something fixable. But instead I got a broken inner wall, I have posted a picture below. When doing physical activities do your self a favor and set your yoyo down next to your water bottle or hand it off to a friend. ~David Pictures. :‘( /// :’( ---

There are few things worse than finding one of your favorite yoyos damages beyond repair. Last year I accidentally stripped by #9. It was a very sad moment, but I did learn some valuable lessons regarding proper yoyo care. ---

One half is not really damaged so Ernie is going to put a b grade on the other side. _crosses his fingers_ ---
