Just where is the yoyo community headed?

[Ditch Down Crew]

Sure, I'd love to see yo-yoing go mainstream, with the best players being able to make money by winning contests and getting endorsement deals.  We have the level of talent in this sport to make it happen.

But at the same time, I'm content with things remaining as they are.  I'm still gonna yo-yo either way.

i would hate if yoyoing became mainstream. popular companies would make crap yoyos. yoyos wouldn't be made for the player anymore, they would be made for the money.

Damn Kyo, I can't believe you're still around. You used to be here back when I called myself "Lev," or do I have the wrong Kyo?

Yep, still here.. since 98 or so.. still a quite a few of us around actually.

Absolutely! I'm not saying I'm any better, but it does seem a little weird to say "I want the yoyo community stagnate so that I can continue to be unique"

I agree 100%.

Seriously guys, more yoyoers is a good thing. More people buying products, more people just interested in learning! It's great. More yoyo companies would come up, and bring new things to the table. Forcing every company to step up their game.

I personally don't really care though. As long as I'm yoyoing I'm happy.

I don't yoyo to be unique, I'm not emo. lol

i don't yoyo to be unique, i like that it IS unique, but like i said  i would love more players to join, i like to inspire random people on the street when i start yoyoing in the middle of nowhere, i just don't want yoyoing to be a huge industrial thing where companies start focusing on profit and publicity rather than their product quality and a bunch of random companies popping out of no where making crappy yoyos to keep "in"
