as anyone who reads my little amount of posts, you may know that i am a yoyo fan. i've been doing it for about 2 months now, and currently own 3 yoyos. one of which i just purchased on wendsday. (i found a 20 dollar bill on da ground and just had to buy something!) so far my favorite yoyo i have is the duncan throw monkey. (i like monkeys) this is a great starter-intermediate yoyo. but sadly the friction pads on there have seem to worn down. quite a bit. now for experts, this is great. they do not like reponsive yoyos. but for a (kinda) newb like me, i like a nice responsive touch. so sadly i'm gonna have to replace them. only problem is, no hobby store i know sells yoyos. (serious juggling on 33rd does actually) and still i can't find any that sell the friction pads. so far the only place to find them are online. but sadly i have no online cash. (or a debit/credit card) so i'm kinda screwed. oh, but on the brightside, my dad thinks i still need a new yoyo, so he is getting me the duncan freehand zero. it's supposed to be a great one. i know most of you are all like WAT? and all, but i still wanna post this, just for the hell of it
