Y'all remember the mid 90s yo-yo craze?

[Lambent55]

They had folks come to the schools doing shows,and selling them?

The Fireball,

The Duncan imperial,
That one Yo-Yo that changed colors when you put it in water

It's been so long I barley remember, out of nostalgia I got a cheap ball bearing yo-yo from aliexpress

No tricks, I just been throwing it down letting it sleep, listening to that whirl

I just ordered a Merlin from amazon.

 

[jdubnyce]

I used to able to walk the dog, that triangle hanging thing

That's about it

 

[JerkPork]

I can do the Eiffel Tower

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

I could never do any tricks. What's the one technique where you let it drop and it spins at the bottom?


I might have to buy a yoyo

90's? I remember that sh*t being popular in the late 70's and early 80's.

Yo-Yo's got popular again in the 90's? I must have missed that.

 

[Canada Goose]

Mid 90s? As someone born in 91, I remember YoYo's being poppin after the mid 90s. Like as late as the early 2000s.


I cannot remember the mid 90s at all but I remember Yoyos clearly

That's the sleeper, you need a responsive ball bearing yo-yo, which is pretty much the majority of yoyos now. (unresponsive is for advanced users) that's all I been doing. (Well, I can walk the dog, and rock the cradle as well, but that's automatic once you et familiar with sleeping again)

I used to get nice walking the dog

Letting it spin in place for 30 seconds then summoning it back

[Rasille]

I had the light up yo yo

 

[Mister Terrific]

Millennials in the 90’s learning how to yoyo

Gen Z in the 2020’s learning how Hitler wasn’t that bad.

 

[BmoreGorilla]

Yea I remember this well. I was in the 6th grade so we talking 92-93. That Duncan Imperial tho

I used to get nice walking the dog

Letting it spin in place for 30 seconds then summoning it back

nikkas used to cheat and get those butterfly Duncans. Wasn’t no skill in walking the dog with those
