I remember having Coke and Sprite Yo Yo's growing up.

That is all.

Looking at the title of the thread, I was expecting an old school rapper.

Disappointed.

That Coke yo-yo was the best yo-yo I have ever had or used in the many decades since.

The free yo-yo my kid got at school this year was a joke in comparison.

EDIT: I suppose Coke isn't allowed to sponsor things in schools anymore.

When I was 11 or 12 I came in second in the town yo yo contest. The prize was a patch announcing my feat, for my jacket. I took the gold coloured yo yo for third place instead.

Is that anything like spanking the monkey?, beating the bishop? Pulling the taffy?

I love the people making fun of this guy.
I realize it's not the coolest thing in the world, but it's obviously something he loves doing, he probably is making a little extra spending money doing it, and let's be honest here guys, this guy is better at this, than any of us will be at ANYTHING we ever do.
But yeah, he's totally wasted his life.

They said he's from Hungary so I now imagine him just spending his day yo-yo-ing on Margaret Island collecting forints by the hatful before relaxing at Szechenyi and then going for some beers overlooking the Danube.

Man that would be the life. I've got to get a yo-yo.

If you are like me and had yo-yo's in the 90's and early 2000's this site can get you back into it. I was at a craft fair recently and bought a yo-yo. Turns out there was another leap in yo-yo technology in the mid 2000's. If you can get past the bind return you are golden.

That site is a great resource for learning tricks. I'm starting to try the expert level but there are still intermediate tricks I can't do. I also bought the Duncan light up free hand. Amazing!!!
