Heya, I've posted a few other times before here, but I figured I'd summarized my story here as a formal introduction lol. So to be honest, unlike what seems like most of the people here, I wasn't into beyblade during it's first reign of glory oh what, like 5 or 6 years ago or whatever. Which is unfortunate because I'm currently 16, 17 in a few months. I mostly blame this on where I live, as it seems like no one in any of my schools have ever been into the cool stuff. I live in the place where Pokemon was acceptable till 6th grade when the line was drawn and you got made of for playing it in middle school and on. Yeah, cool place. Anyways, due to that, you may be wondering how I did get into beyblade, seeing as how the target age group is generally understood to be younger, unless people are remembering their childhoods with the new metal fusion beys.
Well, the answer comes in the form of my best friend lol. Last summer, he got the set that comes with pegasis, the more defencive-y one that I don't know what it's called, and the stadium. at the time, a few of my friends and partially I made fun of him cuz it was something that only he had been into as a kid. He moved to our school in 5th grade from a different town where beyblade was popular. Anyways, recently, we were hanging out at his house and he pulled the stadium and his beys, old and new, out from under his bed. We tinkered with them for a bit, and I immeadiately saw how cool they were. Just the fact that it's actually a game, and is fun was cool. also how you could customize them and stuff was awesome. the highlight of the night was when he launched one of his really old beys and the weight ring exploded literally as soon as it hit the arena. it was pretty awesome and we were only able to salvage like half of the pieces, as they flew all over the room. luckily he has a bunch of replacements, but still, that was a seller.
The next day, I decided to walk to the local target with him to get my own bey so that I'd have one of my own and wouldn't always have to borrow his. After cosnidering a few of them for a few minutes, I eventually chose the Lightning L-Drago, mostly because I saw that it had a bunch of attack and also because the black and white launcher looked cool. That was when I learned that that was like virtually the only left spinning bey of the new generation pretty much and head-floored. Anyways, we went back to his house and played around with them for a while. The next week he ended up getting the poison serpant bey and we had another testing play around day. And this past weekend, I ended up getting my most recent bey, Rock Orso, which I am quite impressed with, deciding to test out the defence side of beyblading.
Well, that pretty much concludes my bey blade history and story. I found this website after watching some videos by some team called the Ripplets, which they mentioned the website in one of their vid comments. Since getting into it, I've been watching the old tv shows in order. So far I'm on ep 8 of V-Force lol. 58 eps down. Also, since I have 2 blades now, it's fun battling myself (though not as fun as fighting my friend obviously) but it's not much fun using a bin thingy, so I think next, instead of a new bey, I'll invest in getting some sort of actual stadium lol. Besides that, I live in Washington state, so if anyone else lives here and maybe wanna meet up for a match or tournament or something, then pm me I guess XD anyways, I'm done ranting. I hope to enjoy my time here and find some local bladers XD
