I went to Disney on a band trip one year, and I was chattin’ this cute Brazilian girl up and being all suave I sat there and looped a yoyo over and over while I talked. Well the string got incredibly loose and the yoyo shot off and I lost it into a big pond/lake/pool thing…
Yoyoing at school, i saw my string was getting old but decided “one more throw and i’ll change it…” BAD IDEA!!! Breakaway… String rips and my DM (1st version) goes straight into the concrete floor and bounces into a concrete bench
Soooooo scratched after that. :’(
I should’ve changed it…
I was choosing to pick up yo-yoing. Had second thoughts, maybe learn an instrument instead or play a sport. Nope, went with the yo-yo. Best decision ever.
Back in junior high i had one of the duncan imperial keychain, one of my friend wanted to try it out and after doing 1 throw (a forward pass) the string snapped and it smacked our teacher in the face
