(a below average yoyo collection)
I just re-created the same thread as a continuation form UPSBv3. I love yoyoing, even though I learned ps beforehand. A lot of yoyo-ers tried to ps too, but ps proved more difficult.

Preferences:
style- 1a, 4a
daily carry- Dietz
top throws- Septopus, DNA, Mess
string- regular poly, Chaos
favorite tricks- seasick, revolutions, whips
There are 5 divisions
[B]1a- land the yoyo on the string, 1 yoyo[/B]< most common
2a- the average yoyo aka looping, 2 yoyos
3a- land the yoyo on the string, 2 yoyos
4a- yoyo comes off string, 1 yoyo
5a- yoyo string is attached to a ball/Counter Weight instead of your hand, 1 yoyo
tip: ALWAYS START WITH RESPONSIVE YOYOS. Don't start [B]unresponsive[/B]. If you don't know what that is and you're just beginning, don't worry about it.
When picking a yoyo:
They go from 56g to about 80g, 63-70g being the normal/industrial standard. Diameter wise, on average they go from 50mm (smaller hands/undersized) to 56mm (full size). Width (how wide the yoyo is) and gap size depends on which division you like. Some play at different speeds and keep momentum differently. Check reviews if you're not so sure about what yoyo to buy.
When you're ready, meaning you know trapeze and split the atom, you can go unresponsive. For unresponsive, I'd say go with plastic before you try metal yoyos. Make sure you know how to bind, etc. (unless you do 2a.) Yoyo's are EXPENSIVE. the most expensive pen mods go for $20- $50, but good yoyo's go from $10-150, $120 being the "normal standard" (i.e. 888's back in the day...) [B]Recently, good yoyo's have been around $60-90 USD, [/B]which is great.
^great first unresponsive yoyo, great plastic

lol that's a normal response, but it IS worth it when you get into yoyoing. They'll blow your mind! and "standard" is like competition/pro/connoisseur standard. normal ppl (you and others) standard is... $15-45 Plus the machining, materials, design, and engineering cost A LOT for one yoyo design. I don't want to make a speech here, but it's a lot to work with... It's like how "normal" ppl are like "A KT? wow, seriously? $20 for a penspinning pen that doesn't write? that's dumb..." same thing here (almost,) trust me lol -

they're alot of good ones like that, the legacy is 22, plastic the protostar is 35, plastic the recrev I is 50, metal. I'm not saying they're bad if they don't cost 120, but you can't say an 888 doesn't feel better than plastics. but well playing yoyos do exist that do not cost a lot. the protostar is probably the best one.

Hey Shad, you already know I yoyo. Albeight, I'm bad. I can just barely do suicides, and struggle with whips. I can bind well now though! :D. Can i ask somthing? Okay. I'm using a Duncan Metal Zero. 100% Poly hand weaved string. 2 Extra wide seats. 2 breakpads, worn down to shit. Alright. When i try non-responsive play, I take out one of my breakpads. But the problem is, when i do that, The stupid thing doesnt go down. It catches a blank, and just spins the bearing, but not the Yoyo. You have to wrap the string SUPER tight around the Yoyo to get it to spin right, and then when you bind, it's not tight enough around the yoyo, so you can't rethrow it! You end up looking like a tard, getting one throwdown, and then having to rewind the thing. I need advice. Is it the Yoyo? The breakpads (Friction stickers)? The string? I dont know what to think. Please help. Thanks in advance Shad.

imo, after you "out grow" the metal zero, get a new yo to make it easier. Does the yoyo snag in suicides and whips? plastic whips shouldn't be a problem when you practice, and suicides DEPEND on string tension. you should be fine in no time. for yoyo repair... hmmmWhat's the bearing size? do you know? It might not matter, just curious.NVM, it's a DUNCAN SIZED BEARING, or A size.... (I'm so retarded -.-) The stickers/pads suck though, and you definitely need TWO to make it come back up. Try wearing down the pads to make it less responsive.You could use half or all silicone response if the yoyo has a flow grove or something. If that doesn't work,best thing is to buy some ghost/kentaro pads and cut them if you have to, because I don't think the metal zero can take flowable. i.e. my yoyo uses flowable silicone
not a good example, but the yoyo has to have a HUGE "recess" (where the silicone is/pads are located) and/or flow groove (a groove to hold the silicone in/prevent it from ripping out)
That's almost all I know.
edit- so the stickers are always extremely responsive out of the box/replaced, and they wear down quickly.... as I thought.
so either get new kinds of response pads, or idk...
imo, I'd think you'd like the protostar A LOT MORE since you're already at suicides and whips. Since you can bind, I'd say make the promotion =P
if this doesn't help, check out yoyonation xD

lol np [SIZE="4"]Tips for gizmoe-[/SIZE] in spoiler [SPOILER="important tips!!!"] don't rush into it unless you really want to. I mean, if you CAN and that is the ONLY thing you would want. it is a $35 that you'll ALWAYS USE, even pros use it in contests. So...? just get some lube, replacement pads, and maybe an extra bearing on the side. -BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, GET REPLACEMENT PADS lol then check out yoyonation or google for some tips to take care of your yoyo, like string tension (constantly, not with UFO) and bearing cleaning. I put stuff on your FB too to check out (if that's ok xD) and caps lock ftw[/SPOILER] [SIZE="3"](Orange BeadBlasted YoyoFactory DNA)[/SIZE] YES! I literally jizzed in my pants on the first throw.

What are the most technical tricks/combos you can do? What tricks do you like the most? well the DM 2 might be good if you like your DM. It can be both responsive and unresponsive. OR you can look at the yoyonation B/S/T (like the trade forum here) for your first cheap metal. cheap... hmmm metal- RecRev "i" plastic yo- "Protostar" I'd go with the Protostar, even though I don't have one. If you saw Jensen Kimmit, he's using a protostar. Plus, its really easy to find/comeby. if you can dole out more, Y-factor- $75 used Pyro ~ $60 used 888~ $75 used fools peak~ $60 (reg peaks go above $100 though) that help? @ poisioned- I'm the opposite lol plus, imo there's more variation in yoyoing- the learning curve is much lower too. plus if you mess up, you can just drop all the strings and redo, fix it mid trick, or just stop :rofl: I love penspinning though, but most people wouldn't "get it" like other things.

yep, that's why I tell everyone to get a Protostar. (his previous plastic) NOW in this video, he's using a Northstar, but idk how that is. They say it plays like a Genesis, just plastic. personally, I've been yoyoing for less than 6 months, discontinuous =/ throws- DNA, "i," Omnicron, Atmosphere, and Proyo's soon to get a Y-factor and Protostar. =P (I don't think I said THIS already)

It's a yoyo-ing thing. Some of it's too complicated to "enjoy" unless you know what's going on. TRUST ME. Most people wouldn't know the difference between Yuuki Spencer and Mickey, or 4a and 5a. Plus it takes more practice to do psing than yoyoing, so that's why a lot of ppl prefer yoyoing.

You have a counter weight (a ball, die, anything) at the end of your string instead of your finger. You don't have to do 5a. You can if you want to learn more diverse tricks. A lot of non-yoyoers tend to ask that question, but there isn't a definate answer. (as Bernardo stated) [QUOTE=devaa wrote: oh man that guy looks like a gay man :V ps: also a geek lol
why does everyone say this? Cause he has glasses and emo hair? He looked totally different 3 years ago. Otherwise, all his actions besides yoyoing are just part of a stage persona. The song is supposed to go well with the yoyoing too. (If you've heard the real song, it's awesome.) Plus yoyoers change their look every few years or so. So what if he is gay and is a geek irl? He's still way better than you at yoyoing (and he gets paid to do so). /rant lol :walrus: -

For some it takes them 2 months to get to a trapeze since they can't do a good sleeper until 1~2 weeks. Others take less. There's a difference in "getting the trick" and "doing the trick consistently." That's kinda the problem with yoyoing. When you land a trick, that doesn't mean you can do it, i.e. whips especially/usually.

not really =/ because in PSing, it's harder to get tricks consistently (perfect) imo. And you should learn front style more, i.e. pop'n'fesh, boing-e-boing. And you mean Buddha's revenge? because White Buddha is impossible if you can only do Kwijibo "decently." (Trapeze doesn't count sadly) -

It's a good beginner yoyo, but not something long term. In order to do whips/slacks, suicides, and lacerations, you need an unresponsive yoyo (that needs binding). If you plan on getting one, I could give you some suggestions and remind you about the stuff you need. However, DO NOT get an unresponsive yoyo unless you know how to do a trapeze and reverse trapeze. [video=youtube;3ngSHlz4zy4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ngSHlz4zy4[/video] see what they can do with it? It's a good yoyo... kinda. -

lol then no... is it responsive? and does it have a bearing? (small, large, etc?) If it is responsive, then you might want to get an unresponsive yoyo if you know trapeze already. It makes it easier, but you kinda need to know how to bind.

Mike;26901]What's something that you guys look for for a "good" yo-yo?[/QUOTE] way too many things. It's best to look at reviews or a yoyo forum to know. There is no "best yoyo." Since everyone has a different hand, there is no "most comfortable" yoyo either. And to vaguely answer the question, we usually look for metal, large bearing, undersized, unresponsive yoyos- but that's just the majority. [QUOTE=ArmorKingRulez wrote: It has a bearing..but i could say its large...but i still dun get what responsive and unresponsive means...
Unresponsive- you need to do a trick to make it return to your hand. The trick is called a bind. It does not respond to a tug. (hence unresponsive) They sleep very long, from 1-20 mins- depending on the yoyo and thrower. YOU NEED THIS if you need to learn slacks/suicides/lacerations. Responsive- it comes back to your hand when you tug it. They don't sleep too long unless you mod it/are really good. You can make an unresponsive yoyo responsive by putting lube. It's hard to make a responsive yoyo unresponsive (through modding). -

no Audley isn't entirely a bootleg company. That's a misconception. Yeah, they bootlegged the 888, but they still have great yoyo's like the virus and L3. I mean seriously...

Velocity sounds good. The current Plastic Grind Machines (v2) aren't that great. IMO, get a Protostar or Legacy. poly 6 or 50-50 (poly lasts longer) imo, get yellow/green. It's really easy to see. But if you like white or any other color, that's fine. -

I've never been very interested in yoying, just never "worked" or understood it. Seems a bit to commercialized as well. I'm not sure why but i've enver really been drawn into this type of manipulation.
-
Date: Wed, Nov 3 2010 03:37:23
It is. There are a whole lot of companies that "advertise" their yoyos. Making yoyos are rather expensive, even just buying the materials (i.e. high grade aluminum). Sponsored players advertise their yoyos. Home businesses/manufacturers have a hard time make yoyos since they don't have any advertising.

I don't really do too much yoyoing, and my dingo lies around my desk most of the time. I can do the cold fusion and all the tricks up to that, but I never really had it in my to practice above that that, though it is fun to whip it out some time and do a trick or two. Even so, there is something about cnc machined anodized metal that's really appealing haha.

I used to yoyo. I started with a Lyn, then got PGM and M1. I sold the Lyn and PGM (regret it), and bought a "i". It was my main throw, and I mostly did 5A with it. I tried to copy Sterling Quinn lol he is the best 5a thrower. Don't believe in Tyler and Miggy!!!! It's all about the Quinn!!!

No matter what an object is made of, if you throw it at concrete, IT WILL GET SCRATCHES. PERIOD. Nothing is scratch resistant. Now that said, you can do walk the dog with plastic yoyos, as long as it is not on concrete. Celon is usually durable, so I think the Whip is fine for walk the dog. IMO grinds are more impressive... but walk the dog is a "floor grind" xD -

-
Date: Sat, Aug 13 2011 02:59:12
@Frip make the loop bigger make sure your binding in the correct direction. If you throw forwards, you bind the same way in that video I posted. If you do a breakaway (sideways/trapeze,) you need to bind in the opposite direction lol.
exclusive wrote: do you have a youtube? i need some inspiration before i buy one lol
yeah but one- I suck. A lot. Two- this yoyo (below) is "worse" than the Whip, and look at what they can do with it. (note, the One is responsive, the Whip is unresponsive. They both play differently, but I don't have either yet. BUT they're the best beginner yoyos out there.) [video=youtube;6C2R3lafIDA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C2R3lafIDA[/video] -

A LOT. And not just grinding- stability, spin time, comfort/shape, less friction on the string, etc.And I'd recommend getting a C3 Di Base or YYF Yuuksta instead of a DV888. I know they're above $50 but still, they're much better. You're so close.http://www.yoyonation.com/product.php?productid=17174 Get this, here^ You won't regret it. It's $50 here. Then there's the Protostar if you can't afford those. It's the best plastic out there IMO. -

Sorry for the UBER late reply. It's not hard at all, but you need to ALWAYS start with a responsive yoyo. It's almost impossible to learn anything if you start out with unresponsive yoyos (yoyos that do not come back with a tug.) I suggest you learn Braintwister, Rock the Baby, and Split Bottom Mount first. -

lol but it takes longer to learn the bind. When you know responsive and all the tricks, the bind becomes easier to hit. -

Get a PSG (Plastic Sandglass). It's $15, but it plays freaking amazing. It's legit a plastic playing at the level of a metal. Can't say enough about it. If you're going unresponsive, THIS is my new recommendation.

Thread revival. Hi, I've been yoyoing since last month. I do only 4A, though. So I have some questions, hope some expert people are still around. ;o; I'm using Adegle Roc, btw. And all of these following questions are for 4A 1. When I do trapeze mount, the spin dies out pretty quick. What's that? I do something wrong? 2. Volcano and Boingy-Boingy, are they the same thing? I mean if I want to learn the Boingy, would it help if I learn Volcano first? [I never really get the idea of both tricks, though] 3. I have problem catching the yoyo into a Chopstick slack. It's like the yoyo is too big or my hand is too small? So it just drops on my hand. I think it's because the string wrapping around my middle finger is like, it's wrapped around on the base part of my middle. I can't really play with it around the tip. Is that one of the causes of the problem? 4. Do you have tips for regenerations? I kinda have a hard time trying to get it right. I can't throw it out straight. =/ 5. Is there any place I can find tutorial for 4A other than YouTube? There aren't many tutorials on YT plz answer, thank you so much ;o;

HAI ENK :D 1. yea trapeze slows down the yoyo pretty fast, so people dont usually hold it there long. they usually just bounce it off the mount to change directions 2. volcano goes up and down. boingy boing goes horizontally or vertically. volcano also involves moving both hands together as you pop the yoyo up so the the string gives way for the yoyo to move up, whereas in boingy boing you only move your throwhand towards your freehand to allow the string to give way to the yoyo. 3. chopsticks tricks will take ALOT of practice. it helps if you have big hands, or a small yoyo. i was never a big fan of 4a chopsticks so i never practiced it much. 4. uh...regens require an intense knowledge of yourself, your yoyo, and your response system. itll come naturally with time. it'll help ALOT to get a cheap yoyo, or a 2a yoyo, and learn looping on that to help with regens. 5. have you looked through ben condes tutorials?: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL98F64130379DB710&feature=plcp id say 53 videos is quite a large number of tutorials :P ahah keep me posted on your progress enk :D -

I really think Mickey has a chance in this year Worlds By the way, I have some questions again! :D 1. What is the yoyo with smallest size ever designed for 4A? 2. If I am going to get a Hayabusa, should I get the original one or SL? Some people say that the soft landing one bounces too much. And is Hayabusa good for grinding? 3. How do you snap start a dead yoyo? I've watched tuts but never understand where to place my thumb exactly and how to push 4. What's the best way to avoid getting knots after binding in 4A [Like it comes back after the throw and hits your hand, harming you :c] and what is the quickest or best way without changing yoyo to cancel the knot when you know you are having knot from a bad bind? 5. Do you have any tips for Eli Hops? And still, either my spin dies or the yoyo tilts too much after a couple of hops, do you have any suggestion to that? 6. Some of the time, my yoyo tilts in the middle of the combo [And it usually results in the yoyo stops spinning and ties itself to the string or loses some spin]. How do I keep it balanced all the time through the freestyle?

I'm sooooo out of sync w/ yoyoing... 1. Split decision. That one's good for grinding. I loved it. 2. Original one. It slides/spins in place. It does not grind what so ever (unless you have gloves). Plastics don't grind usually. 3. It's hard. Just hand start it like Jensen Kimmitt or Yukki Spencer. No one really snap starts. I used to but my hands are too small. 4. I had the same problem with 1A yoyos. Just bind in a straight line. Make sure the yoyo doesn't go off plane. 5. Keep it on plane. If you hit the rims then the yoyo will tilt. I know what you mean, but there's not much I can say... it usually comes with practice =/ 6. Try to learn how to "tilt" the yoyo while doing a trapeze. It usually depends which way the yoyo is spinning. If you pull the string towards you, it will tilt one way. If you pull it away from you, it should tilt the other way. Once you learn how to tilt, you can do it while in the middle of a combo.

Yoyoing is so complicated :angry: I gave up i prefer pen spinning
-
Date: Sat, Jul 7 2012 14:09:16
IMO YOYOing is easier than penspinning. The learning curve isn't nearly as high. You can learn all the fundamentals in a day.
-
Date: Sat, Jul 7 2012 19:42:14
Lol I agree. Imo its easier because it is designed for the purpose of doing tricks, where a pen mod is a just a balanced stick. Also the trick names and judging isn't nearly as complicated...

They distracted the YYN employees everytime they visited. One person stole while the other talked. The kids stole 5-10 yoyos at a time. Then they sold them to other people, etc. etc. It was terrible cause YYN could never gain the money back. -

Pen spinning is more of a table stuff. It wouldn't go very well in a stage performance, except you use a projector and zoom to your hand when the performance goes. I find it just as interesting as PS. More dangerous... Perhaps. D: And wow, I didn't know that their store was closed because of robbery. That's sad for them Anyways, I have some questions again? :3 1. How long does a Hayabusa really sleep? Some sources say it sleeps at least for a minute. Sounds hard to believe for me for an offstring yoyo. o_O 2. Will there be AP this year? I saw a post on Yoyothailand site that they are lining a team for AP12 3. Is Big Ben a good yoyo and how does it play on offstring. And vs. Hayabusa, which one is better if I want to do string tricks on offstring? 4. What is a friction sticker? -

1- I have no idea. I threw one before though. Sleeps for a while actually, but it really REALLY depends on the thrower. For 4a, make sure your string does not touch the walls too much of the yoyo or it will die really quickly. 2- There's always an AP. I saw it when I was gonna register. 3- No clue. I heard good things about it but you should really ask people on a yoyo forum. (pick OneDrop since YYN is down. DON'T go to YYE though. They're just a bunch of spoiled rich kids.) Don't trust reviews too much. 4- A type of response system by Duncan. It's just like pads, break pads, flowable silicone, etc. that you put inside your unresponsive 1a yoyos. Although friction stickers are awful, the pads YOU CHOOSE are REALLY IMPORTANT. Every yoyo responds differently to different pads. However, [B]flowable silicone[/B] usually works great with all yoyos. -

I find it so cool that most people who do yoyoing are very friendly. Just like people on UPSB but they are more mature. :p

Date: Sat, Jul 14 2012 16:19:29
*to clarify my previous post Something about reviews: they're usually too vague and not critical enough to make a good decision. They do give some information but just take it with a grain of salt =P Something about YYE: the kids are really irresponsible, rude, and immature. I was "scammed" there before so yeah... at least I got my yoyo back. Something about 4a yoyos: Ben, the owner of Yoyofactory, says that the Yoyojam ReXtreme was the best 4a yoyo (as of 2010). I have one and it is the best 4a yoyo I've had. The Fiesta is also a good choice. I liked the OG (original) more than the XX.

xD lawl People on YYN were really friendly. If you needed help, they would support you. Sometimes people gave you a free yoyo if you were a beginner. Too bad YYN's down/gone (at least for now.) People on UPSB call beginners "noobs" for not being able to do something. That was at least my experience way back when ><; ------ (I will remove this if YYN comes back online xD) EDIT: WIN! I found a cache of my old trade thread that got updated recently! Worst come to worst, I have my feedback.

Pics of yoyos plox? @Alex and Tent- in this order: learn your forward passes, breakaways, walk the dog, rock the baby, skyrocket, ufo, stop and go, brain twister, and split bottom mount, split bottom mount, split bottom mount. Yeah, split bottom mount is really important. I cannot stress this enough (as I have mentored people before LOL). You learn from sb mount: 1) how to land the yoyo on the string properly 2) how to manipulate the string 3) how to move the yoyo so it doesn't hit the other string. Don't get ahead of yourself cause it causes more problems in the long run. As for progress, I'd suggest to learn as many tricks as you can that aren't in the "beginner" section. Links: for the intuitive learner- http://www.mastermagic.net/Tricks.html with explanation/more help (click the "Learn" tab)- http://yoyoexpert.com/learn/013-basic-breakaway.html EDIT- Make sure you know how to make a slip knot AND know how to restring a yoyo properly. The two biggest things a newcomer does wrong (like I did :rofl: )

Date: Mon, Jul 16 2012 15:46:33
I think the very first thing that you should learn is how to throw a proper sleeper. [Well, if you don't know how to do that already] And don't give up. A few years ago, I tried yoyoing and ragequit because I couldn't get on stuff. It really takes a while until you get familiar with it. Someone told me that it only gets harder before it gets easier and that is really true.
-
Date: Mon, Jul 16 2012 20:19:28
@Tentcell It's a nice beginner yoyo but it's not worth the $30. Stuff like the velocity, legacy, fhz, or protostar are worth $30. (although some of these are "unresponsive"/advanced yoyos)

IMO it just gets harder and harder xD, but when you shift from responsive to unresponsive, THIS^ Hand starting and binding had to be the hardest things I had to learn. -

YYN is back online =D fyi, so you don't have to wind up your yoyos all the time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJc2Q-KUmPo @Alex I'm glad you're giving yoyoing a second chance xD The learning curve is much lower in yoyoing than PSing, but that doesn't mean you won't get really frustrated. lol Starting off, these are great choices: http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/46/Duncan-Free-Hand-Zero http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/518/YYF-Fast-201---Neon-Collection http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/9/YYJ-KickSide http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/368/YYF-ONE I really, really liked the FH2 and somewhat the FAST201. They're both great starter yoyos. I have not tried the FHZ (Free Hand Zero), but I heard it was even better than the FH2. NB: The Kickside is wide. Smooth. Pretty nice. The One is light compared to the Kickside. Nice also. The FAST is ... fast lol The FAST is noisy cause it has huge starbursts. They make the string "vibrate." This makes the string wear more easily. The FH2 and FHZ pads wear/become unresponsive after a lot of play. They're geared more towards advanced players. I dunno which one to pick. I'd pick the Kickside for you, but they're all just great yoyos xD look what people can do with a begginer yoyo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ngSHlz4zy4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C2R3lafIDA

Try to flick with your wrist to give it more power? You could look at some tutorials cause I'm not a looper >< Maybe your string is too long if it loops to low towards the ground (if that's what you mean.) -

The Loop 900's are in pretty much mint, but I may have lost one of the keys, and of course the special neon string that comes with each NEON yo-yo. The Dv888 would cost me like $20 to get from the guy and its kinda beat to the same degree as your BvM; again [B]no response pads,[/B] and idk if the guy has lost the bearing to it or not. I may or may not be able to contact that guy soon though to work a trade, he lives in a different neighborhood. Its an aqua color, as seen here. Edit: I have both keys for the Loop's. I can include some orange kitty string with the trade. I will have to get the approval of my mother tomorrow to see if I can do the trade. Could you film a video of 1. The yo-yo while its sleeping for atleast 30 seconds, 2. Close up of the dings and damage and other small things I would need to know about and 3. Play of that BvM[/SPOILER]

Regionals for me is held at the mall of america... yea..... tons of random interested people adding to the yoyoers and yoyoer's personal spectators lol. 3 floors of people... crowding around on the balcony starting at you... nerves really get you on stage....and can cost you alot. a dabble a bit in 4a (Off-String) and 5a ( Counter weight) Oh yea! and im going to another contest next week! The Tripple crown of yoyos. Known as Midwest classic, where me and players around country get to compete for the grand prize of $1000 ,some yoyos , and trophy. currently working on my 2 minute routine .xD im determined to do good at this one.

Hey guys I was just reading a few pages back, so IDK if anybody already said this, but YYN is shut down for good. The robbery really messed up their store, and costs were getting too much to keep the forum going, so they dumped it all. Thats why you cant even access the website anymore. About YYE: It actually isnt that bad. Yes there are a lot of little kids, but there are also really helpful people like Studio 42, who is probably the friendliest and most helpful person on the forum.

[/QUOTE] YYN is back online! While YYE, OD, etc. are pretty cool, the yoyoing community would've have lost SO much, especially the "history of the peak" thread =D Just my experience with YYE: A bunch of people from YYN got scammed by kids at YYE. Personally, some kid tried to say I was scamming him eventhough he didn't even send his end yet. Basically, he didn't like the yoyo and ALREADY traded with someone else without my knowledge. What made it worse is that I didn't have internet and I could have lost my yoyo in the process because of some greedy kid. Sorry, but not recommended. That was kinda the last straw for me...

Questions againnnn :D 1. How many tricks are there in yoyoing? [I guess the answer is possibly going to be something like 'Almost endless'] And what's more between it and PS? I ask this question because I see some yoyoers [Like Mickey for an example] keep using same routine throughout the tournaments in each year. But I have to admit that Mickey is really good at planning routines, but most of the time, even in a different year, it seems like he has been reusing a lot of his materials. [Like same mini combos but with a little bit of polishment, pretty much like Eriror] I mean, why not just freestyle or something like that. It shouldn't be that hard to live-syncing to the music. 2. I have a feeling like I am a little bit more than a noob now. Everything seems to be a bit harder. Now I have a problem that I can do some combos now, but sometimes I forget some of the things that I can do. [Like I can't recall them, because it's pretty much that I learn a new trick or figure out a new combo everyday] Help? D: 3. What kind of gloves do you guys use? 4. About 4A string tricks. I read somewhere that 'You are more likely to get more marks from release trick[Whip, Toss and Catch, Regen, Orbits, etc] during performance in tournaments'. What about some harder string tricks like Bryan Figueroa? I remember that he got 2nd in Worlds '11 and he did a lot of string tricks. And when I really come to think of, some of the string tricks are just as hard as some release ones. Is it always true that pure 'off-string' yoyoers are always better than 4A yoyoers that use a lot of string tricks as main element? 5. Is it true that clear/transparent plastic yoyos break easier than coloured ones? 6. I was reading this http://www.yoyowiki.org/wiki/Styles_Of_Play and saw the 1/2A. Is there any video showing how it looks like? 7. Where is Ben Conde from? He looks like an asian I'm trying to practice everyday. :3
-
Date: Sun, Jul 22 2012 06:09:48
Wow that's way too much to answer. 1. As many as your mind can imagine. I wondered that too. They use similar routines cause THEY'RE ORIGINAL. YOU ARE BASED ON ORIGINALITY. AND CHOREOGRAPHY. Syncing LONG comobs is hard as fuc.gif.... Plus, if you're the creator of said trick, why not repeat it? Who else will or CAN do it? That's why professional yoyoing takes years to master- you have to make up your own tricks. (They can be based off of other tricks obviously.) 2. Just keep practicing. You do forget stuff, but that just means you need to practice them more (if they're essentials, i.e. Eli Hop.) You may forget combos overtime, but they aren't as important cause you should come up with new ones. 3. I don't use gloves. I use tape in 2a (looping) but that's it. 4. It's hard to judge. String tricks vs release tricks doesn't mean anything. One, it's hard as anything to do string tricks when your yoyo dies so quickly. It isn't 1a but still, it's worth merit. Two, it doesn't mean one person is better than the other. Bryan do some crazy stuff. It is, however, difficult to do regens and release tricks, like Lim Aik Hwee. It's hard to judge. These two 4a pros are on two different planes. Make sense? lol 5. I got a yoyo cause I thought it was celon (not transparent.) It was made of polycarbonate (which is prone to cracking and breaking cause it's soooooo stiff.) Polycarbonates (the clear yoyos) do break, but that doesn't mean opaque/solids, like the Northstar, aren't prone to cracking. -Acrylic is clear but it's durable as sdkfjasdfjkasdf. It's really heavy, though. 6. no ._. 7. no clue lol ._.

Date: Sun, Jul 22 2012 12:38:47
The reason mickey seems to always be doing the same tricks is because thats his style, and Im sure a lot of those tricks are similar variations of others
-
Date: Sun, Jul 22 2012 22:57:11
for Q1. If my post didn't make too much sense, I guess this would be a good way to explain it: It's like the first time you watched pro penspinning. It looked like they were all doing similar/the same thing. Every trick looked the same, etc. etc., when in fact, they were doing some of the craziest things ever xD

Date: Thu, Jul 26 2012 05:32:22
my input. [B]question number one[/B]- Mickey is the king of speed and king of hops! and he reminds us why every single year! He is known for some of these ticks! Mickey is 3x world champion! he has done so much for yoyoing! really revolutionized and changed 1a (String tricks) its kind of like.. his signature move. his signature combo that amazes us every single time! but thing is that it always gets better and better! (more clean , more exagerated and flashy, and even faster!) - the crowd always goes nuts- [B]question number 2 [/B]- i guess... its all about the flow really. i know its hard now.. but you still haven't really found that flow yet. your still exploring. you're learning tricks that didnt really come from you. and thats what makes yoyoing really unique. There are so many styles out there! I really liked how Seth Peterson (Like.. a yoyo celeb xD.. hes an awesome yoyoer. and a co-founder of Save Death - yoyo company-) put it in a yoyo documentary he did. it went something like this.... "Yoyoing... is like road tripping.. or exploring a new world.....all with a blank map.... you sometimes know the destination (element or tick idea) of where your headed...... or sometimes you just wander around hoping to find something amazing..... as you progress in yoyoing... this maps opens up more and more... with every singe yoyo element you learn or every a single small secret transition move you discovered to go from a Houdini mount to a bicycle kink mount... < those are like paths or shortcuts. those shortcuts... you find my searching for them.. or just stumbling across one..... after while when you grow alot.... you look at the map and you can see where the paths can sometimes cross or connect with one another paths from destination to destination opening a whole new routes!" yoyoing... is really as big as you want to make it.... you can see it endless like i do.... or small... where alot of people quit after a year or so.... when they give up and cant find their flow. Hold on.. cuz it gets really fun! idk.. lol srry had one of those weird deep moments. moving on.... [B]Question number 3[/B].... uhh..... i dont really use gloves... i actually have grown some pretty big yoyo clauses * idk how to spell lawlz... that thing you get like thick dry skin... lol [B]Question number 4![/B] - idk... the judging system was kinda weird . but they are currently playing around with the system... tweaking and improving it. they're 3 main points in judging *overall* - tech , performance , and deductions tech- these are you tricks! your most important and most heavily judged!.... you can be judges on your smoothness/cleanliness/flow of your ticks.... next is how technical and difficult your tricks are.... lastly... for almost all styles.... are the "basic points" < idk what their really called lol... .. but anyways usually there is a judge that is the clicker... and with every string is a click... basically 1 point... and it is compiled down. * yes some people do abuse this -not to be against anyone or anything-) but again.. they are improving the system. Preformance! - this is your style! and how tricks are executed... mostly the visual appealing preforming part (stage presence, etc)..... Deductions - points can be taken away for a yoyo switch.. or a restart of spin / rewind from a dead yoyo. Also... points can be not given to too repetitive tricks or elements ... Also. for 4a mostly... if a performer loses control of the yoyo points can be taken away.... * a new change... 2 points i think can be taken away if the yoyo rolls off stage on the sides.. and a performer can be disqualified if a yoyo goes into the audience lol * happened before lol! * but idk new change i heard from the judges at regionals. phew i hope you can logic that one out lol. shadrCom3t really answered this one.i just babbled [B]number 5[/B] - eh... seems like it.. but i dont think so.... but cracks and marks are more visible on clear yoyos. * also see shadrCom3t's reply^^ [B]number 6 [/B]- kinda like a top i guess? idk... never really saw this before... no idea how it could be done * goes to try lol... i did see John wolf ( a spin topper and high yp yoyo modder) have an actual return top... like ...a spin top... with a grove and a response system to bring up the top... took him a few tries for him to get it to work lol. number 7 - i think hes half fillipino half white... idk.. lmao [B]now that's a long post ^ hope it was helpful!![/B]

Date: Thu, Jul 26 2012 12:05:06
@Enkronidus ) From what I've seen for 1a, judging goes like this: string hits/tricks difficulty (tech) control choreography (performance, usually judged by someone who isn't a yoyoer) originality Each judge apparently has 2 clickers. One for string hits, one for misses/deductions. Most yoyoers say that they lose points not because changing the yoyo costs so many points, but the time they LOSE everytime they change their yoyo. The same with missing a trick. When you miss a routine making trick, you have to do it again. The reason why yoyoers might play faster (compared to Jensen Kimmitt, for example,) is to get more tricks in the 3 minute routine. Speed is also a factor, but it usually means getting more tricks which lead to points rather than just getting points for speediness alone. This could also be hearsay.
-
Date: Thu, Jul 26 2012 13:50:39
I'm just saying it not totally perfect. because i dont think insane speed should win you higher placings... its like.. chosing if yoyoing.. is an art? or a sport?.. i hope you know what i mean. and i was talking about the nationals regulated ones or the standardized ones? idk i haven't really done much research on this. its usually on a 1- 100 scale true. but the categories and compiled and averaged. also. when doing tricks during a routine. you do not get scored if you attempt the same trick over and over again. from what ive heard. and *agrees* its just from that i know xD oh and heres a score sheet. http://www.mwryoyo.com/2012mwr/detailed1A.htm - lol.. i got dead last. *philips nguyen* guess i had no style and to tech. and nerves really got me. my first finals ^^ at a bigger contest. trying harder at Trippe crown yoyo! ive improved so much!

-
Date: Thu, Jul 26 2012 18:02:03
Well difficulty and style could outweigh string hits as seen in people like John ando and Jensen kimmitt It's just how you decide to rack up on points. Lol didn't don't they tweak the judging system every year?

Date: Fri, Jul 27 2012 13:27:24
true xD but as you can see it is much harder. ehh... i just think its more this year.

@Enkronidus you can use an unresponsive yoyo but you have to double wrap bind. It has a tendency to slip or bind terribly, and you cannot do regens. Via cellphone :P

[video=youtube;8aD4B4wzdwA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aD4B4wzdwA[/video] I haven't watched the whole thing but he did have quite a few deductions. Drops are both deductions and -cleanliness/execution... and they waste time when you could be doing tricks. I don't think he got a lot for originality (rareness), which is surprising. There's a judging table on the WYYC 2012 site.
-
Date: Wed, Aug 8 2012 04:30:45
He did his usual stuff. Probably just way too much drops for the judge to have mercy. :c I don't know why but he should really have used more of his '06 materials. Some of his tricks during his 2006 were very good, but now it's like he has abandoned some of them. [eg. chopsticks, that last trick he used in AP'06] Not sure if the military has something to do with this. And somehow his freestyles lack of coherence. He needs the flow like in his 2006-2008 back. =/ But yeah, I guess Rei deserved it this year. All hail to Mickey and Hank Freeman as well, I'm glad Mickey finally made it again. 5A... expected. XD That boy owns every year!

My Adegle Roc is broken. :emo: The axis broke in half, I don't know what happened. This is the worst thing ever. I have no yoyo to play with now. :( Well, a few weeks ago. I was yoyoing in school food court after school and accidentally the yoyo bounced into a bucket of dirty water [You know, that water bucket they submerge the mop when they're done cleaning] and I was like well, fuc So I took the whole yoyo and clean it with water. And then my mom came and she was like 'Oh, that's not going to do anything. Let's soak it in Dettol solution then it will be all new'. so the whole yoyo got soaked, I didn't remove anything inside because it was a pain to remove all of them. And the axis just broke today. D: very sad story. My uncle is going to London next week. I will ask him to find a couple of Duncan Hayabusas for me. Do they sell them there? And normally where can I find them; Malls? I don't even know if Duncan has a factory there and if we can buy directly from factory.

Great to see I'm not the only yoyo/PS er I throw a PHENOM and a Genesis. Fav trick/combo is a mix between 3 Hiroyuki Suzuki Speed, Tatsuya Fujisaka speed, and Turbo Repeater.
