The ups and downs...

Ok so I haven't been on in forever but I thought I wOuld post some things on my mind about being only 14 in the yoyo world.
1. Money is a huge issue as you don't really have a steady job, or atleast I don't. I make at most 15 dollars a week which means it takes a some time to save up for certain throws and even if I get the money my parents say "bring me an A in math and the yoyo is yours" which is almost impossible for me! Whwoo glad I got that little rant out of my system.
2. People who purchase good expensive yoyos even when they don't have the talent to use them. I have this kid in my school who got kinda into yoyoing and I was all like "that's cool" so he can't throw any tricks just go up and down but he goes and orders a speed dial and noe I'm getting a little edgy but I think " it's an adjustable system so he's good." he just learns trapeze and instantly thinks he's ready for a dark magic II. Ridiculous...
3.HATERS!!! We have all had em but really it's harder than you think! They see you yoyo and then say something along the lines of "that's not cool I could do that" this is what makes me destroy people like Charlie sheen at a crack convention. Well I feel better now...

Current thoughts on certain yoyos 2

The Duncan speed beetle is a fast quick thrown looping yoyo and what can I say it does it's job well. This yoyo is the looping choice yoyo of Duncan and is a great beginner starting yoyo, and for Only 9$!? What a steal! This yoyo is ace and I love it.

You know your boss when...

YOUR PATRICK MITCHELL! Here's a video of his winning performance at the bay area national yoyo competition 2010 in the 2a division. Check it:

LOOP 900!

Can't wait till I get one! I was never really into looping but recently i think it's so badass I just have to try it. I can do around 5-8 consecutive loops with my imperial. Any way if your looking to buy one yoyoplay.com has the best price at 21$. Sorry no link :(

IM ON YOUTUBE!

Current thoughts on certain yoyos 1

My first real yoyo was the Duncan proyo... But that's a different story. Currently my thoughts are on my first metal, the Duncan metal drifter. Personally it's alright, quite a steal for the 15 to 20 bucks you'll get charged. Starts out really REALLY responsive but after some super heavy play by me the thing runs good and unresponsive. It's not as unresponsive as I would like though because it's very unpredictable. Sometimes it comes up from a slight tug and sometimes you have to throw what I call a super bind. So your probably not going to be throwing any plastic whips soon but it's a good yoyo for the money.

welcome
