Well i thought i did. I think i opened it and checked the back but not the front :grinning:

I was also trying to count the pieces in a cool little travel chess set (also £1 :sunglasses:) so was distracted + my son running around little a little shit and just not listening to me.

Went for an X-Brain to ease myself in.

This guy retired after this. Fucking mental.

Fuck i would love a yo-yo.

At a 4 year olds birthday party. Was holding 2 cups of coffee and someone popped a balloon really loud. I jumped a mile and dumped coffee all over my crotch. Full on look like I’ve pissed myself.

Will have to start any conversation with “it’s not piss”.

I love a yo-yo and have a small collection - some good(ish) ones and some not so much.

Can’t do too many jazzy tricks but (like skateboarding) I can do enough to keep myself amused.

I’ve been down a small Youtube / Google rabbit hole since you posted this. There’s so much about Yoyos and yoyo tricks that I don’t know.

I’m seeing terms like responsive / unresponsive, string off and 1A / 2A etc tricks.

Such a grom!

Do they still do them?

I got one ‘bitd’ but prefer my Duncan Butterfly. :nerd_face:

Haha! I want a another one but I’ll (try) to just live through you getting yours for now.

Apparently…

1A - String trick
2A - Looping trick
3A - 1A string trick using two yoyos
4A - Offstring tricks
5A - Freehand tricks (no string +counterweight)

I will start my investigations. Could need a Yo-yo thread eventually!
