Is here anyone in the forums interested on yoyos?
I've been playing pretty seriously with yoyos for the last years or so, but I don't invest time enough to say I'm GOOD at it. I can perform some cool trick and mix some maneuvers, but I'm still learling slack and whips.
Does someone else like/play/collect yoyo around here?
::raises hand::
I haven't actively played with any Yoyos for the last few years because it drives other in my home nuts, but when I first started working in a call center year ago, I used to "dual-yo" to achieve my Zen as I was walking customer through their issues.
I also became less interested when it all became about yo-yos with axles, and they were stupidly expensive just to be able to sleep and do various tricks for longer.
But place a yo-yo or two in my hands, and I'll immediately 'giver still.
Well, I'm not the kind of "gotta-have-all-yoyo-model-and-editions" kind of collector, but I have some pretty good and nice looking yoyos even if I can use only 1 a time. It is indeed true that yoyos are not that cheap if you go serious with then (there's a titanium made one that goes over 400$) but I can tell you that the possibilities go wild and de amusement increases a lot with a 50-80$ yoyo.
Bad news is that it really takes time to be good, unless you are naturally skilled, wich I'm no XD
Anyone else around?

Yeah... I kinda find spending any sort of significant money on a yo-yo is maddening. Ok... so I turn 35 in less then a month, but I remember new yo-yos, that were classic wood, with no bells and whistles costing less then $5. It just seems kinda nuts to me.
