Yo Yo's

[reidrolled]

am I the only one who thought i was the crap because i could rock the cradle with my yo yo? who else modded out their yo yos with a little extra vaseline on the bearings? I want to know peoples best tricks so i can determine whether or not i was the best yo yo-er  in all of kansas

I think everyone went to a elem school that had a yo-yo era. ours was ridic short lived though. sorry, man.

Our school's Yo-Yo obsession only went on for a year or so. For a couple of assemblies that year we had a Yo-Yo "master" come in and show us some tricks and sell the yo-yo's. Never got good at it but it was fun just throwing it down on the floor as hard as you could and "walk the dog." < I could do that.

QFT, had a butterfly, me and some friends would cut the strings short so you could yo yo while sitting at your desk, pimp juice

What nintendo game was it that you had a Yo-Yo as a weapon?  Goonies??

I thought Zelda had a yo-you.  I don't remember but I remember playing it.  I could rock the cradle.  More often than not my yo-yo was used as it was originally intended, a weapon.  could put some serious knots of a doods head this those things.

I got a yo-yo every year in my stocking.

The bearings on my Yo Yo's were turbocharged. I could literally "shoot the moon".

Nes has a yo-yo on super smash brothers?

Anyways, no reid, you were in no way the best yo-yo'er in kansas.  That title belongs to a good friend of mine actually. Look, there's even a video of him kicking ass at some world competition in 2000.

He also met Bill Cosby when he was asked to perform on the hit TV show Kid's Say the Darndest Things.

Andrew Conde owns you.

Never was a fan. Seems like a redic thing to feel elite about (unlike cyclists).

It was 10 years ago.  He was like 11 and already better at yo-yo'ing than you could ever hope to be.

I was in 6th grade when the X-Brain was launched, and it took me forever to get one of the those f*ckers.  Every store in Salina was sold out, ordered a cheap knockoff from Amazon, and finally found the real thing at K-Mart.

Also kid in my HS was a professional Yo-Yo'r, had his own brand, made bout 50K/yr.

So no, you weren't the best Yo-Yo'r in KS, Soph year he finished 2nd in the World behind some Japanese kid.

Couple of things.  First, the brain sucked.  It was a cheap novelty that only non-elite yo-yo dudes thought was cool.  It didn't make any sense, the yoyo basically just came up whenever the &@#% it decided to.  That makes it smart?  No.  That makes it inconsistent.

Second, I never said I was the best.  I said a friend of mine was the best.  He met COSBY for christ sakes.  Did your friend meet the Cos?  No?  Ok then.

1.  I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to the OP who posed the question.

2.  He met David Letterman. Cosby is a hack.
