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

[Water]

Always thought walking the dog was so damn cool

 

[KushSkywalker]

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



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

Don't put that on me I walk the dog with any yo yo on earth

 

[Sbp]

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.

Yup. I wanna say 97-98

 

[Human Torch]

Hell yea the Duncan jawns. nikkas was taking parts out and so they could sleep longer.

Light up jawns all that. That definitely was like 97-99 iirc

Always thought walking the dog was so damn cool

Funny enough that was the only trick I could do

 

[UpAndComing]

 

[MajesticLion]

Coca-Cola and Sprite versions were pretty popular.

 

[Buddy]

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.

Whaaat? was a boss. I knew all the tricks

Around the world
Walking the dog
Cat in the cradle(?)

I can't remember what else. I had a Duncan Fireball, the Butterfly (THIS was the one), etc. I remember one birthday, my friend bought me a wooden yoyo and I tried to unscrew it that night... it was one solid wooden piece and I broke the axle. shyt had me CRYING I spent a few days or weeks lying about why I wasn't bringing it to school until I finally told him

 

[Geek Nasty]

I can do the Eiffel Tower

I just learned what an eiffel tower is on the coli last week

 

[010101]

i was tough as hell HA*

 

[Buddy]

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

Sleeping

 

[Fani Willis fan]

Yoyos had a nice run before japanese merchandise took over. nikkas with no hand eye coordination could look cool too.

 

[P90]

My little kid brain thought they were going to be popular forever.

i remember being torn between the Duncan imperial and Duncan butterfly. Butterfly was way easier to use but I was still terrible at both. Walk the dog was a fly trick too.
