Adding a yo-yo! It's a secret awesome, yo-yo*! Come on with those entries! Anything, you just have to have made it yourself. Any challengers to cobrajs' glory?












*crappy, boring yo-yo











(it's a yomega. It says "hyper-raider" on it, and 1998.)

Quote from: Elephark
Nobody can agree precisely what yoyoing is, yet everybody wants to argue about it and take it way too seriously to the point that people get tired of talking or even thinking about it. Thus, yoyoing is art.

I always watch a few minutes for a good laugh.  Also, you can add it as the sound to some videos and enjoy it even more.

For the last two entries, you have to have created it yourself, and it has to be made after the contest was posted.

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!!

Increasing the prize by

- Yellow duncan die
- FH2 weight rings
- Black satined non-axle lyn fury half (It's a really -----' satin done by Team Tom00. It's very silky and reminds me of delrin. You guys gotta hit this man up for the raddest satin.)

Plus you get the hyper raider, and all the junk in the first post.

(and if requested, fh2 halves, for modding or something.)


If any of you can think of a way for me to fairly do places, let me know. Like, give first place a choice of x items from the whole pot, second place gets x choice of items, etc. Or just me rank the prizes and I give first this, second this, ect. Anyone like this idea, or have an idea how to do it?

Either seems cool. Just rank em and and let first pick w/e they want of the available choices then second go's next ect.  Or w/e you want, your stuff.

                I am unique, just like everyone else. On wintry Sunday afternoons, I like to drink a cup of hot cocoa while listening to Beethoven’s Unfinished Symphony. My earliest dream involved me riding a dinosaur on top of a hill, heading into a Toys ‘R Us with fanfare in the background. The most important person in my life is my brother—because he owns the other half of my room. My favorite hobby is neither stamp collecting nor feeding the hungry; rather, it is yo-yoing. The sheer joy of throwing a yoyo, feeling the smooth slide of string on my fingers, and knowing the slightest mistake will result in an impossible knot is what enthralls me for hours.  I enjoy walking the dog, cradling the baby, and going around the world, with a little thing on a string. My YouTube time is dedicated to watching Yuuki Spencer, 2007 World Yoyo Champion. I am a quirky intellectual.


               I have waited in line at Borders for six hours to buy the latest Harry Potter book. When I start a book, I don’t sleep. The screensaver on my desktop is a picture of the Vitruvian Man because I admire Da Vinci. I would very much like to become an eye surgeon.  My lazy eye gives me superpowers.  I have often played tennis on an outdoor court for hours at a time in 40° weather, both Celsius and Fahrenheit. The day my team became the New York City Tennis Champions was a day I’ll never forget. I salute political cynics and parodists like Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report. He has probably done more for my political awareness than any textbook the public school system owns. 


             I can read a binary clock. Music and debate are windows from the outside world into my soul. I was surprised to find out in my freshman year that I was the only oboist in a student population of 4000. The Yale Model Congress, which took place in New Haven, was debate heaven. I find there is something magical about teetering on the edge of a seat, waiting in suspense for the next question in the Quiz Bowl Competition, your hand slipping on the buzzer as your thumb twitches. I randomly burst out speaking French. J’ai toujours été petit pour mon âge. I have conquered the Stroop Effect. I once spent an entire day trying to solve Benjamin Franklin’s magic squares. Spinach with brown rice is ranked high on my list of preferred foods. These types of confessions illicit muttering and smirks from my friends.  I am sarcastically humorous, absurdly witty, and deceptively simple. And that’s only when I’m awake.

To hear nothing but bearings
To feel nothing but string
To feel so much like hell,
spinning so close to heaven.
This is the Yoyoer's' High.
This is the feeling I live for.

first of all notorious that was well writen and i thourghly enjoyed it ^^ and second of all, as for ranking 1st, 2nd, and 3rd u can divide the string into packs of 10, then count out how many items total u have and divide that number by 3, if u had 21 items then u could let first place choose 7, second place pick another 7, and third can recieve the unchosen 7. but i would put a limit on things like string so all 3 have a chance to recieve some. there r my thoughts so whatcha think?

So this ends today. You guys can still enter potentially until like, midnight. But really, if this thread drifts down, I'll just announce the winner earlier. If you plan to post late, please go ahead and tell me so that I can wait up for you.

I won't be doing places, because I realized that means multiple shipping costs, and I've only got extra stuff, not extra cash.

Current pot:


- 1 size .555 thick ipad

- 1 size .555 extra thick ipad

- 2 of what I assume are Kentaro pads. They are black and textured, but not sticky. They're as thin as a silicone recess, but have a larger diameter.

- 2 sets (4) of YYJ-size rubber o-rings

- 2 sets (4) of hubstack size o-rings

- 1 plain Higby yellow bouncy ball counterweight with art

- 1 Yellow duncan die

- 1 sealed pack of 25 pink vultos

- More vultos, like 23-24 pink and 6 yellow (or something)

- FH2 weight rings

- Black velvet drawstring bag (from gung-fu)

- Black satined non-axle lyn fury half (It's a really -----' satin done by Team Tom00. It's very silky and reminds me of delrin. You guys gotta hit this man up for the raddest satin.)

- Hyper Raider   

If an entry really blows my mind, I'll include a secret yo-yo that doesn't suck. Much luck!
