When i started i t was about 6 years ago when the yoyo craze hit my school. I got a fast 201 and the best trick i could do was trapeze. Then i broke all of the strings that came with it. I stopped, got into drumming and golfing. It was over the summer when i was watching a kid in boy scout camp with an exodius 2 doing amazing counterweight string tricks. This kid was in my campsite si a asked him to show me a thing or 2 (he brought a lancer also) by the time i got done i got about 10 knots in his string and learned mach 5. Now i have a wooly marmot and am on to expert and master tricks.
I remember sitting at dinner talking about the yoyo I had 4 years ago and I went out and bought a Duncan metal drifter the next day. 2 weeks later I mastered intermediate and was starting advanced then bought a shutter. Now 7 months later my main throws a valor and I’m starting to make my own cool stuff. I’m really happy with how far I’ve come
