Did you play with Yo-Yo's when they were popular? Have you even heard of them?

Yo-Yo's were popular? Oh well I guess I'm going to say No, because I wasn't alive in the 1960's. Also, if someone says they've never heard of a Yo-Yo because they're young than they must be living under a rock because it's not like Yo-Yo's don't still exist.

Oh men they come back every few years. They are cool to have for few months and then they are soooooooo not cool few months later. Now days they have so many different yo yo's. They have the once that play music, the automatic recording (that record speed and what have you), the once with lights in them. I was never good with them as for tricks I would say I would have considered it a trick if I could spin it 5 times in one go lol.

Yeah, I had a bunch of yo-yos. I never became an expert w/ all the tricks. What I did become a master of was string tricks. I can't remember what they're called now. But it's when you take a string or rubber band and move them a certain way to make designs or pictures. You could actually get a book to show you how to do it. That was one of the few girl things I did. lol. My kids like yo-yos, too. They now have yo-yos that retract on their own. I remember watching StarSearch(hows that for oldster? lol) and there was this one kid who was really good at it.

I do remember the Yoyo. All I ever learned to do was to make it go up and down. Do you remember the Smothers Brothers and Tommy's tricks along with the song "The Yoyo Man".You can see it here. http://youtube.com/watch?v=UR39tRbDcBk&feature=related I also remember the hula hoop. I couldn't do that ether. But I have noticed that these toys are around yet today. They seem to come and go.

Yes I am an oldster and I have heard of yo-yo's and played with them. As for the younger ones, my grandson has a yo-yo and is pretty good with it. So it seems like whether you are young or old that the old faithful yo-yo is still around. My brother and I always had Duncan yo-yo's.

Oh yes we sure did. All three of us kids had one and it seems everyone else in the neighborhood had one too. My brother knew some of the tricks too and would amaze me sometimes. I was always to afraid to try the tricks in fear of getting hurt but they were fun to play with as a kid.

I was born in the late 80s and I still remember that Yo-Yos were all the rage in the mid 90s! It was crazy, with kids pestering their parents to buy a Yo-yo, and students playing with them and trying out new stunts and tricks during break times.

My son plays with yo-yos now. I think we got it from chucky cheese or some fun place. Now he uses them to sling across the room LOL We played with yoyos too back in my day, lots of fun when I could be bothered.

Long time ago when I was young, Yo-Yo was ever famous here. Of course I had one for myself, but I wasn't so good at it. It became popular again a few years ago, but I didn't buy and play it any more.

The 60's were before my time but I did have a couple yo-yo's when I was younger. The one I remember the most was a glow in the dark Duncan yo-yo. I also had a Chinese yo-yo which was paper rolled on a stick that you throw in the air.

Yes, I did. But I can't do the tricks that other children did. I don't have one. I just borrowed it.

Yeah, I used to really enjoy the Yo-Yo and eventually became really good at it! I miss playing with Yo-Yo's. Kids don't have toys like we used to back then. All their toys are so high tech and all. We had strategically challenged games. Rubix cube for example. Now, that's one that I could never really figure out pfff...

Yes to the answer did you have a yo-yo. I had a Duncan, I was born April, 15, 1959 and during that time was the yo-yo,motown,The Beatles,Elvis was still alive and going strong Kennedy was President. I got to stop there was so much going on.

Recently due to a TV show, yo-yo became quite popular at our place and my brother bought one. I also played a bit with it. But now its lying in some corner of the house because not much people play it.

In 60s i was not born yet.. lol. Still i have heard of them in childhood. me and my brother had a few of them i used to play a lot of them.I think now aday children don't care about them or they may not know it at all.

I have had yo-yo's throughout my life, but i never really practiced with them. My uncle used to buy us them all the time. I think he liked to play with them more then we did. hehe its fun to watch, but i have very little patience with stuff like that to learn how to do it! ;)

I played with yo yo's so much that's a good reason I'm a yo yo at times. My daughter did a road trip to the nearset city a few weeks ago and I went too because I was left in the hotel room with the two kids while she went in the morning to apply for pass ports and she and her hubby are planning a trip to Vegas in a few months. I had bought two brand new yo yo's from Yo Yo sam on Ebay and I took my yo yo and the kids and I had a good time. They were so pleased with their yo yo's.

I used to be fairly good with a yo-yo. I'm still not too bad. My kids know what they are, although most of what they've seen have been cheaply made yo-yos that are sometimes freebies at the fair, or party favors. The nuns banned yo-yos in the 8th grade because we boys got very skillful at using the yo-yos for lifting the girls' skirts and for whapping each other on the arms and legs.

Yes I do love yo-yo's and they can really help you with your stress.. its fun to have one I play with my son and see who does it better.

I still play with them now when my son gets one in a party bag. No good at it though, prefer the hulahoop myself, good for the waistline too LOL Ellie :D
