I picked up yoyoing in September of 2009. Well I should say this evolved form of yoyoing. Even though I haven’t advanced past the intermediate section, I’m very much enjoying the hobby. It requires a lot of practice, for some of us more than for others. Yet I don’t feel pressured to be a Master. Hope this hobby continues to grow into the future. ---

That’s what its all about, man. Being a good player is cool and all, and it would be nice if I were one someday, but as long as you’re enjoying it, you’re winning. ---

yoyoing isnt a competition over who’s better (unless you’re in a competition ;D) you’ve got the right idea! ---

Yoyoing is one of those great things where no matter how good you get, you can always find someone to learn from. In that way it is a self sustaining community. I have only been at it for a few months myself so I am constantly learning new things, but I have also helped others learn things who are new to it and who have been yoyoing for years. ---

That is what yoyoing makes stand out: it is not just al about competition. Being good at it is a bonus, having fun is way more important. You are not yoyoing for anyone else, you are yoyoing for yourself because you like to do it.
