Yoyos in the wild 2025

Could have sworn there was a semi-recent thread for this, but I couldn’t find it.

Cool find out in the real world today! Didn’t have much time to look it over, but does this look like a special edition Freehand? I think it’s a fixie, but I’m not sure what that would be.

(My bad for not getting a shot from the side. Was in a hurry, but I remember what it looked like, and the profile didn’t quite match any butterfly I’ve seen).

Where did you see this?

It was at a sports apparel store in Knoxville, TN.

I found that model for an nfl team laying in a truck at work and no one knows where it came from. It looks like a butterfly xt but I was confused by the twist adjustable gap

At Poconos Odd-Lot Outlet. I feel bad some kid’s first yoyo experience will be so disappointing.

didn’t see a yoyo in the wild but a guy came up to me at a gas station while pumping gas the other day. i was wearing my yoyo jacket ( covered in old contest patches) and he said “excuse me do you know John Higby?” I replied that i know of him, that he is famous in the yoyo world as a player and artist.. he told me he was an entertainment promoter, and he hired John to do a show a while back. Its funny the random people you meet out there…

I always secretly hope someone asks me questions when I’m yoin’ while pumpin’

When I was at the park this weekend while I was playing a heard a kid say “oh man bros got YoYo skills! Woah!” And my wife shouted “he’s starting a club! You should join!” Lol
