It’s been a long time since I’ve been over here. To start 2017 I wanted to change that, I wanted to get these forums back on my daily check list. So here I am, not here to promote any G2 products, just here to share some yoyo fun. I have been having a lot of fun with a new youtube series I am working on. “Let’s Cut a yoyo” The format still needs a few adjustments, but since I am ten weeks in, i figured i would share the links here.
I think it would be helpful to have a CAD picture of a cross section of each yoyo sold. It would help give a clearer picture of weight distribution before buying.
Also add Peak 2 so that we can see the difference of the two. It would be interesting as well with other yoyos that has significant change in runs/releases. (ex. Peak 1/2 or any CLYW’s, 888 '08/09/x/etc,/ Popstar, Benchmarks per year and so much more) ;D
I think the choppin up yoyos thing is pretty neat. But at the same time; I dont think it is any more effective than just a cross section image of each yoyo.
I am guessing(guessing) that it ‘is’ much easier to cut yoyos in half than to obtain CAD cross sections, hahaha.
On a side note… when I started modding yoyos back in 1998; I used to cut yoyos in half. I didnt think it was amazing or wasteful. I just figured it was the quickest way to have the most accurate ‘visual’ of the ‘yoyo down the middle’.
When I started press fitting Henry Viper hubs to Freehand halves; I actually cut a finished mod exactly in half; just to see how well my measurements came out. I swear; I must have stared at that cross section for an hour… it just looked so cool, haha.
People would ask me, ‘How could you ruin such nice yoyos’?
I would tell them, ‘Easy; you just get the saw and start cutting’.
I have literally hundreds of yoyos. I do not display yoyos at my house. Most of them are either: In the Safe… in file cabinets… in drawers or in large plastic totes. My girl never really cared much for all the time I spent modding yoyos or collecting them, haha. So I decided years ago to ‘not display yoyos in the house’.
But that being said; I would certainly be willing to set up an illuminated display case to house nothing but cut up yoyo halves. I think it would be Awesome to see all the various yoyo designs right new to each other.
… Sadly; even though persson requested it; I dont think I would start by cutting up one of my Ti-Walkers, hahahaahahaha.
