I used to win Beyblade (Gen 1 Beyblades, not the new stuff today) competitions in Singapore, there was one point where I got into a qualifiers for a big tournament in Japan, but then the SARS scare ruined everything.

Oh wow, that's cool and unfortunate.

I used to drop my beyblade into the arena from about 3-4 feet above it lmao, it would bounce like three times and just smash everything out.

About 1/10 times it'd just fuckin fly out at someones face though, always fun as a child eh?

I never played beyblades, was more into Yugioh and Pokemon and Magic cards lol. I did manage to watch a couple of episodes of the show though and it was interesting but it didn't draw me in as much as the aforementioned(although a bit drawn in

)

I still have one lying around in a box somewhere, this hype died kinda fast here. I do remember standing around our 'arena' shouting BEYBLAAAAAADE or whatever it was and launching our beyblades in. Long ago :p

All I remember is that my parents finally caved and bought me and my brother two beyblades so I could play with the kids at our school. They weren't anything special so I lost every time but at least I had a BEYBLADE!!!

Then next year no one cared about them anymore. Thank god my parents didn't waste any more money on that shit.
