Im a beginner yoyoer and i want to buy a yoyo that will last me for a long time so i dont have to buy a new one until i get really good. i heard that the journey and kickside are good beginner yoyos. i already kno basic tricks like the sleeper, walk the dog, gravitypull, foward pass, etc. which yoyo should i buy? is there another yoyo anyone recomends that isnt too expensive?
The Velocity, Kickside, or Lyn Fury will probably be the best for you. All of them are good yo-yos, but the one you should get will depend on your personal preference and what you’d like in a yo-yo.
Lyn Fury would be good. It is a Good begginger but you could use it for more advanced tricks also. Maybe a Journey also. ;D
im thinking of buying a velocity is that good?
Probably the best choice.

should i get any strings? or are the stock strings fine
You should get a 100 pack of string, because you will need to change it often. Probably once every few days when you are starting out and maybe even a couple times a day when you are experienced.
100% Polyester or 50/50 Cotton/Polyester String will be fine.
which do you prefer?
I use 100% Polyester, but I’ve never tried Slick (50/50) string. Some people say that 100% poly lasts longer, but I don’t really know. 100% poly is the most popular string used for string tricks, though.
i have to make up my mind and i think im going to go with the velocity ???
I’m a relatively new player myself. I played about 10 years ago when the Yomega clutch yoyos were big, but I didn’t do much other than sleeper/walk the dog/around the world back then, and I only played for about 6 months. I just very recently got the itch to pick yoyoing back up, and due to impatience, i went and picked up a Duncan Speed Beetle to mess around with while I waited for my YYJ Legacy to arrive.
While I love my Legacy, I’m very lucky I had a little experience under my belt. In retrospect, I wish I’d gotten the Velocity. I’ve never thrown one, but the adjustable gap will definitely make that one that will last quite a long time, probably until you’re ready to move up to something like a Dark Magic or an all metal. Being able to start 1A with some response and widening the gap as you learn more and more is something I wish I’d had when picking a yoyo back up.
I would also highly suggest a 100 pack of 100% poly strings, and some thin lube as well. You’re not going to want to order some lube by itself after you’ve started practicing, if you’re anything like me anyway, because a $5 bottle of lube will turn into a $100+ order after browsing a bit. ;D
Thanks i just ordered a yyf velocity and a ten pack of strings
I guess when my strings run out ill get the 100pack and lube.
how often should i lube it?
Get a kickside, its a best yoyo for you. 
Happy Throwing! =]
He (I’m assuming your a he) already ordered a Velocity which will be fine.
the F.A.S.T. 201 is the yo-yo that I first started with and I used it from Gravity Pull to Spirit Bomb on it. and the Velocity is a very good yo-yo too.
i would get the journey if your a begginer and if your really good I would get the Dark Magic or something in that range.
should I get the Dark Magic or another yo-yo.
my friend littleyoyo12 has the aquarius and it seems to be a good yoyo. but my other friend yoyoing yoyo is going to get the Big yo he says. If I were to get one which should i get?
I personally say Aquarius, because of the rubber rims. However, the Big-Yo is huge, so it will be easier to catch, and has a larger bearing, so it may spin longer. However, if you clean the Aquarius bearing, is spins forever too. Just use this and other info to make your decision.

P.S: I bet Robert is gonna come in here later on to recommend the BigYo
