Re: Burnside I've been dying to try the Burnside, but like the Dang, I've been waiting for the Nickel Version.

I will give you the same advice I have given others... always try the non-nickel first. Nickel can add a slight increase in weight. You can always pick up a nickel version later on.

However, I don't find it necessary to try a non-nickel first, sometimes trying the nickel first is all you need to do for a particular yoyo. For some people nickel is an allergen, while for others it's a drug...   db

Re: Burnside Got mine in the mail today. Threw a counterweight on it first thing and was instantly smitten. Looking forward to spending a lot of time with it.
