This is my daughter's new one:

[Pyrokid]

god, I love this thing. Anyone know how many there are?
I got it free from theyoman. I miss him.
it's the freehand that made me really start to like FHZs.

I decided to finally get around to contributing more to this thread. Pictures with some background story ahead.

These first two are probably mean more to me than any other yoyos I own. They also happen to be two of the yoyos I've had the longest.


This is one of the first two freehands I ever purchased. I had bought a black and a white, and switched the caps. The white one was sold to Steven Kinder at Florida States 04, the second contest I had ever attended. It has been through hell and back. I learned 5A on it, busted lots of knuckles playing it stock, and tested my hand at modding on it.


This 75th anniversary Zero was a gift from Kentaro. It was the first gift I had received from another yoyoer, and it meant a lot to me. It's also sticker recessed by Taka. I doubt it will ever leave my collection.



This is a penguin zero that I bought from Krisgoat at Worlds 08. TLH LUH :3 Silicone recessed by takeshi, plays super nice.



Freehand 1 I bought from Adam Brewster to help fund his trip to BAC, it has one of the ugliest sticker recesses I have ever seen, but it plays rad. I only put old school grey duncan stickers in it, it helps me feel elitist.




Freehand Remix that I bought while at Japan Nationals 2005. Later recessed by my good friend Rob Tsou. Whoever the girl was that was running the booth didn't yoyo, but was super cute. I ended up buying 2 =X



Hyper freehand, also a gift. Silicone recessed by...someone? I don't recall =X



One last Hyper Freehand:



But wait...what's this?



Actually a Takeshi modded FH2. It's super classy, and I love the way it feels in my hand.

That wraps up my wall of text/pictures.

Here's my stuff. The two on either end are US Nationals 2008. The 4 in the middle are all silicone recessed by me. The clear red one in the package is one of the old FHZs.

Red one is silicone recessed on one side and the FHV is a theyocrew edition with dual silicone.
