So I was wondering if any of y'all played skill toys. If you don't know what that is, Google it. Toys like yo-yos and spin tops are skill toys. You have up to six options on the poll, because I heard of people who play almost every skill toy.
In my family I have a yo-yoer and a hula hooper. I attempt the diabolo but I'm not too good at it. I can kinda do hula hoops too. Unfortunately I know way to much about skill toys then I care to know.

I am trying to learn to juggle, I guess that counts

I play with a Yo-Yo every now and then, but I'm afraid I'm not very skilfull with it! :D

I don't. Tried yo-yo but couldn't get it to come back up. Tried hula hoop and it always falls instantly (Wii Fit's telling me I can hula-hoop, but I can't do it in real life at all). Can't juggle, not even two balls. Just about the only coordination I have is with playing badminton or volleyball.

I sometimes play kendama with my students. I guess it's like a Japanese version of the ball and cup. Some people are pretty serious about it, you can even take competency exams. I am nowhere near that level, though. The kids try to teach me tricks and I fail miserably, that's my competency level. ;)

I've done that at school before! I can't even get to the first level... I'm no good at yo-yos and the like, either.
Received mostly negative reviews.

I can do a yo-yo but that's about it...nothing fancy.  Hand-to-eye coordination isn't my thing so things like juggling are generally out of the question.

I'm good at yo-yos, but really good with spinning tops. I have LEGO Ninjago ones and battle my friends.
I won't be on this forum much anymore, but I'll pop in to say hi every now and then.

I'm pretty good at yoyo, and I can keep a hula hoop going around me for as long as I want it to. I never heard of a diabolo. What is it?

This is a diabolo:
