Dude, I did not even know that $600 yo-yos existed.

If I could only trade back all of my time playing Dust in exchange for yoyo skills ...

In the days after Dust shutdown, I found plenty of free time on my schedule. Soon I found myself taking long bike rides, but after several rides it started becoming monotonous, so I added another one of my skills into the mix, beat-boxing. Then, believe it or not, I added yo-yo-ing to the mix. I had to stand with no hands on my bike to pull off tricks so that the yo-yo wouldn't get caught on the handle bars ( learned the hard way when it got snagged and flew off towards a police cruiser ). Eventually I ditched the bike for a set of inline rollerblades.

My new passion is called Yo-beat-blading.

No offense taken, people where I live are noticeably perplexed when they see me. I fashioned a suit to wear at night, it's laden with strings of LED lights and a yo-yo that lights up when spun. Nothing like an open road and looking like a low flying UFO, to screw with the people in the area. Also it's great exercise for the brain, the amount of multitasking going on.
