Hello, I’m new and just wanted to say Hi. I have a feeling I may be one of your oldest members because when I watch the videos posted here, I’m old enough to be your Dad.

So…just wondering if there is anyone else here in their forties or even older?

Thanks for this forum, I’m learning a lot.

I’m 40. I don’t make videos for posting here. So, unless you’ve seen me at a meet or contest, you haven’t seen me!

Yes, this site is great for learning and more! I haven’t gotten very far. What progress I have made has been through mostly this site.

There are a bunch of old guys. 😛

I am not one of them though.

age is just a number … i am almost 27 … and check out our nova throwers club (link on my signature)…Dik Stohr is probably up there as far as age goes … but he came out to our meet and showed us some stuff on spin tops and we were all amazed!!!

as long as you are having fun … it really doesn’t matter … and to be honest … it doesn’t even matter how good you are as long as you are having fun! which is why we yoyo to begin with. I think sometimes people forget that.

I will be 75 on June 1. I am a member of the General-Yo team and I think I am the oldest sponsored yo-yo competitor in the world. The young kids play circles around me, but I still show up and have fun…even in contests. 🙂

I’m 43, back in the 90’s I got a custom yo, messed with it a little here and there over the years. Then about a month ago I picked it up again. I’ve since bought 5 new yo yo’s and have been having fun trying to learn with Andre.
