I have been clearing out some of the clutter,and came across an old Butterfly Yo-Yo.
I bet we all had them at some time or other for the kids.
Before sending it to the charity shop i had a final go.

Not up to his standard yet.
-
it really pisses me off when somebody
steals my routine,at least I didn't
show him my fancy moves
-
If he has enough time to put in the amount of practice it takes to do that, I'm betting he doesn't have a girlfriend! ::)
-
He has got fast hands Cosworth,bet he has?
Anyway I Walked the dog,then clonked myself on the head.********It has now been put in the bin to go.
I hope it brings some child some fun though.
I should have kept it for a Wizard booby prize for competitions?
-
I was so bad at yo-yoing that getting the
string on my finger was my big trick
-
If you need more practice i can post it to you dare.

No thanks Stig,my poor old head has
enough knots on it already :'(

When I was a kid, the Duncan Yo-Yo company would send "Yo-Yo Pros" around on tour to show off tricks and sell Yo-Yo's. I could walk the dog, but that was about it.
-
The Yo-Yo is one of those everlasting toys, every 5 years it comes back in to fashion and every kid has to have one!
There's not many toys you can say that about.
-
The best trick I could do with a yo-yo was the 'smack down'........that's where I would unravel the string and swing the yo-yo at someones head.........usually finished with them on the ground crying and someone else beating me up.....it was impressive to see.....really......

I thought the Australians would be playing with Boomerangs?...rather than Yo Yo's
-
Rom, I think you should show that trick to Mr Ecclestone. I'm sure we he would appreciate it.
-
Probably not a good Idea......he can afford the really really tough guys to beat me up.......
Stig....I actually did have several boomerangs when I was younger........got a little dangerous though....I could get them coming back with some real speed on them......many times I had to duck or dive away to avoid getting hurt....a couple of times I even got hit......only once in the head though..........hmmm.......might explane a bit about me though...
:crazy:

From what i have been told its the ones designed not to come back you have to watch for rom.
-
Stig, aren't they called sticks?
-
Yes Wizard,throwing sticks.
From what i gather the return ones,frighten the prey,and the throwing ones injure or stun.
I am sure rom will put us right when he comes on.
-
All I know is that the boomerang was used by the Aboriginies for hunting......they are actually a very effective and dangerous hunting weapon......the returning one is more of a tourist and entertainment item...or so I believe....
