xoxoxoBruce Thursday Oct 7 12:12 AM Oct 7, 2010: Bada YoYo
Bada YoYo... big bada YoYo.
A dude called Dr. Yo-Yo, has built what he claims to be the worlds largest hand held YoYo, at 35 inches.
Quote:
This project was 2 months in development. For 2 weeks I drew up the plans and found the materials, and then in August Gunter (Splugen on YoYoSkills.com) and I found time to build it. Then, for 6 weeks we looked for a location to film the throw. One day it dawned on me that the Worlds Largest Handheld Yo-Yo would feel right at home next to Tom Kuhn’s Worlds Largest Wood Yo-Yo at the National Yo-Yo Museum at Bird in Hand in Chico California. While I was there, I saw that the Parking Garage had top level access and so it was decided. In the middle of YoYo Club, My experiment was itching to be dropped.
Yes, I know that it is not perfect, but it was all for the pure joy of yo-yo fun. I could not have asked for a better time.
And also Yes, I realize that there is currently no “Largest Handheld Yo-Yo” world record but I don’t care, I am claiming it so… THERE IS NOW!

x2. A poorly constructed non-functional yo-yo does not deserve a 5 minute youtube video.

Well xoxoxBruce, there goes my bragging rights. I grew up in
Chico, CA went into the military, then went back to attend CSU, Chico for my BSEE degree. Really, Chico State is a great school, I don't know anything about this YoYo stuff, really! Chico State had bragging rights in (I think around '69) when Playboy magazine listed it as the number 1 party school. The name stuck, apparently.
