I was recently reminded of the yo-yo craze that hit around 1999-2000. I remember having some pretty ill yoyos, such as the Henrys Viper, Bumblebee, Yomega Brain, etc. I wanted a Silver Bullet w/ ball bearing but never got one. Anybody else remember this? ;D

This thread is relevant to my interests. No matter how much I diss Kendama ball-in-a-cup. :))
Will post some **** tomorrow here...

I used to have a purple aluminum thing, was fun as ****. It's actually probably still in storage somewhere in a box of crap.
-
I have heard that the YoYo was originally designed as a weapon...
-
Yeah, I had an xbrain thing that was transparent bright yellow and a wooden one that was blue and red. So cash.

I once had a generic brand yoyo, but it packed a bigger punch than some name brand ones :) It was similar to this one: http://yoyotricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Yomega-Brain-Yoyo_001.jpg (http://yoyotricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Yomega-Brain-Yoyo_001.jpg)
From my memory yoyo's were a big thing in Poland as well :) Always wanted a Bumblebee...was too pricy though ;-)
Oh the years when kids just played with what they were given and made the best fun out of it :)

I still have my old collection. Just don't have the heart to get rid of them. Still love shooting the moon with my trusty old red saber raider.
-
Getting decent yoyos in South Africa was a serious challenge went through many many cheapies. Probably the only reason I still don't mess around is they are all broken :(
-
i have this!

Love me some yo-yos. Should we made a Geekhack Yo-Yo Team too? :p
I've got a few, but I think they're at my parent's house still, I need to find them.

Had a few Yomega ones, mostly from wal-mart. Fireball and a Brain I think. I was a cub scout back then ahahahhahaa.
@Lu_e: Dude those look awesome!

SILVER BULLET HYPE!

Old school meets new school. Yomega Wing Force aluminum, and a high-tech Freeze Wyvern which is actually an OEM Shinwoo Techno II with better YYF pads and stickers for slightly longer sleep times than the Shinwoo. I actually bought it because the name sounded like a Megama X boss though. :P
