Change to vintagelosi.com ownership (April Fools joke)
Some of you know me as the guy who ran vintagelosi.com.
I recently was offered, by proxy, a considerable amount of money for the domain name. After a lot of contemplating, I decided to take the offer.
So it is now formally under new ownership and control and it looks like it has gone in a new direction.

Bob "Mr Yoyo" Rule (Bolink) is still my heroTo this day the Yo-yo Team Losi created is considered one of the best performing affordable Yo-yo’s ever made by an RC company.
So, was vintage losi an rc site before? I had never been there.
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas

Amazing how much effort was put into this one! I kept looking for what Reggie was going to post and this one just came out of the blue.

My apologizes to everyone who got tricked. I don't see vintagelosi.com changing hands anytime soon, until next April!

I had one kinda planned out, but I don't have the time , this one beat the hell out of my past efforts though!!! (Might not have "bothered" a few guys as much though ). Looking forward to the new layout and colors (all pastel and flowery, right?)

Re: Change to vintagelosi.com ownership
This one was planned for last year, but time was an issue for me then. So it was pushed off until this year to coincide with the new site design. My girlfriend and some other friends thought I was crazy to put that much effort and money into it.Charlie don't surf wrote:I had one kinda planned out, but I don't have the time , this one beat the hell out of my past efforts though!!!

The Yo-yo Tech institute pictures are really from an old former college campus in Hopkinton Iowa, we took them coming back home on Sunday. I forgot to bring a Yo-yo so I had her pose like she had a Yo-yo and then did a real poor job of adding one in with Photoshop.
Hopefully everyone realized a lot of the Yo-yo bio is fake.
If anyone missed it yesterday, you can find it here now.
