What is YOUR yoyo skill?

[Jpec07]

Well, if you could rate yourself on a 1-3.9 scale (note the decimals), how good qould you rate yourself (3.9 being the best yoyoer in the world)? Yes, I know the fad died more than a few years ago, but there are bound to be some people of talent here...

1. I can only do simple tricks.

 

[boombexus]

1.1

I can only do simple tricks, but I can perform them slightly better than Klos.

 

[Jugend]

Clearly 1.0. I can hardly make it come up after going down without making the string twist.. Yoyo is cool in a nerdish way.

 

[miniMADness]

i used to have a Duncan Wheels, that thing 0wned

 

[Jpec07]

uh, I think that the Yomega yoyos are slightly better than anything duncan's whipped out (except maybe the midnight special...)

 

[miniMADness]

meh, i dont realy care that much anyway....i was in grade 5!! except the duncan looked pretty cool

 

[emad]

1.2...i can do the basics but better than boombexus can!!!

 

[CDailey]

I would say somewhere closer to 2. I'm not great but I think I'm pretty good.

 

[Ghost C]

3.9

I am YoYo Christ.

 

[Jpec07]

uh-huh, Name the "best" trick you can do (I am skeptical of anyone rating themselves at 3.9, as only world champions really hold that title...)

 

[Timmotheus]

Amateurs. 3.9
I used to have this yo-yo. Then I sold it, because I was an idiot for wasting that much money. Yo-yo is the sport of the gods.

 

[Ghost C]

I use YoYo's in the fashion they were meant to be used in, weapons.

I can spin the little ball down the string and clock someone in the head hard enough to knock them down faster than you. I call it "Knocking you out with my YoYo", that is my best trick.

 

[Jpec07]

7:08 is the world record? I've gotten up to 5:45 with the yomega metal one that I tried once. The thing was friggin' awesome! It was real heavy, but light enough to permit use, the string was thin, but didn't cut into my finger as they do with heavier yoyos, and I couldn't get it to go off balance (aside from the time when I did a sleeping beauty-pinwheel combo, which wowwed the crowd). The next guy in line performed a split-the-atom and buried me in the dirt under his shoes. What I wouldn't give to own a yoyo like that...

 

[Timmotheus]

I believe the new world record is over twelve minutes, and was accomplished using this.

 

[Famine]

Yoyos, and skateboards, sucked.

But I could do (and undo) a 3 ring Rubik's Magic in 3.2 seconds.

 

[Ghost C]

Ok, $130 for a Yoyo? **** that. It's a piece of plastic attached to a string, basically. I had 4 or 5 yoyo's throughout the course of my yoyo career (I broke them fast, because I really did use them as weapons), and probably paid no more than $20 for all of them.

 

[Silverzone]

numero uno.

 

[Talentless]

I could only do the around the world.

 

[Mike Rotch]

i could walk the dog, but couldnt yank it up and catch it.

 

[Jay]

i had duncan yoyo's and i got a trick book and got pretty damn good

 

[Red Eye Racer]

I'd put myself in the middle (2.5)

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day (mid-80's, 10 years old), I could walk the dog, rock the cradle, around the world, ect, ect,. I forget a lot fo the names,.. but I could perform probably a dozen tricks efficiently.

 

[Macro]

I wasn't too good, but I could do all the basic stuff fairly well.

I wonder what happened to my yoyos...

 

[xAkirax2004]

3.0

Im a yo-yo messiah.

 

[-Fred-]

I never even touched a yoyo... Where's 0?

 

[xAkirax2004]

Well your the "Moderator." Why don't you change it?

 

[JoniK]

I rated myself 3.9. I'm an absolute yoyo wizard.

(Note: Above statement is not true.)

 

[slk308]

2.9

I can't. My moderating abilities are restrained to the Photoshop Competitions.

I used to yo-yo back in the day. Like, back in the 7-9th grade. Now I just get real pissed off because the string gets really tight, and hurts my finger. My yo-yo skill now is breaking them.
