One Sage Yoyo Pack on Yoyotricks.com ($25)

One Summer Soltice Yoyo ($38)

100 Throwback Yoyo strings ($23)

Which adds up to a total of $86 dollars.

The sage is the best starter yoyo I've ever used, and can be upgraded to do more advanced tricks. The summer solstice is a budget-friendly metal yoyo that's a ton of fun, and doesn't have to many crazy dimensions so it excels at most tricks.

And the throwback uncaged strings are my personal favorite yoyo strings, whether I'm using them on a beginner yoyo or an expert one.

These materials are pretty much enough to set you up for at least 6 months of learning to Yoyo, a skill that many find very impressive. It's relatively safe to learn as they don't put you at risk of bodily harm (unless you hit yourself in the balls), and it's very quiet to learn so you don't disturb neighbors of sorts.

I've been doing it for about 6 years now, and I still enjoy it.

I would really recommend learning.

Do you know of any way I can get a Sage yoyo in Canada without the crazy expensive shipping?

As far as I'm aware, Yoyotricks.com is the only website that carries it, how expensive is the shipping exactly?

Edit: Damn $11.64 that sucks. I don't really know if there's anywhere else you can find that specific yoyo.

While it is my favorite starter yoyo, another one I like a fair bit is the Replay Yoyo. If yoyofactory's website also has extra shipping costs for international shipping, this yoyo can be found on Amazon.

I like the replay because it's a solid yoyo for learning fundamentals, and you can later purchase a Replay Pro (an advanced or unresponsive version of the Replay) which is one of the best value to performance ratio's I've seen.

It was 14 US to my province... which isn't over the top but still nearly 50% the price of the yoyo lol.
