My all time favorite is the thunderbolt something about speed on a wooden coaster that sounds like it’s gonna fall apart. ---

My first yoyo was something like the Yomega Brain with lights. In 1992 I bought a Turbo Bumble Bee from Kaybe Toys. I’m not even sure why, I didn’t know anyone that had a yoyo and never learned any tricks beyond rock the baby. I found it in a box years later and thought I would get something newer so I found a Yomega Maveric on Amazon but I didn’t know how to bind and it sucked so it sat on a self and every once in awhile I would try to get it to work. I finally went looking for something else in 2019 and found some trick videos and bought a Magicyoyo Silencer. Now I have barely gotten proficient and I have around 65 yoyos lol. I went down hill quick after 28 years of just throwing it down and doing around the world. ---

My first ever yoyo was a Duncan **Imperial** back in the late **1970s** , followed quickly by a Butterfly and then a ProYo (which was the hot new throw back then). But that phase of yoyoing didn’t last long for me. Fast forward to summer **2018** when I stumbled upon yoyoing again and tried to start back up with a MagicYoyo K1. Threw that piece of junk away and got a YT **Sage** instead, at which point the obsession began in earnest. ---

Exactly my story. Imperial, Hummingbird, ProYo. Didn’t really mess with it for a long time, then my son got a Butterfly XT for his birthday. He played with it a bunch early on, so I ordered a V3. Since then I’ve gotten about 9 more and have considered giving away the V3, but I keep thinking about the very sentiment you expressed—would I miss the nostalgia? So it’s still in my yo-yo box with the others. ---

A Russell Twix yoyo Getting it to sleep was a bit of a chore with it’s wooden axle. And I went through strings so fast that I learned to make my own from cotton string. I also think I went through about 3 of these yoyos because the string would usually break when it hit the end of the string slamming in to the ground. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/f/1/af1a237791fed2e08262ac84567e90e2d3dbd816.jpeg) Which was after a while replaced by this golden boi. Which I earned at a yoyo contest at the local candy store (that I didn’t know what going to be there before I was in the centre of my town. Just happened to be there at the right moment.) I had to do complicated tricks like the star, rock the baby and hop the fence. to earn myself a new yoyo, some skittles (on the other side of the Russell yoyo is the skittles logo). and a T-shirt that. But what an upgrade…because this one had a steel axle. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/1/f/a1f96c5460b6fb0e5ec65538a3688bf301340278.jpeg) [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/first-throw/351937.md?page=2)
