How long did it take you to become good at yoyoing?

totally beat me to it dude.

well what i a mean good, I mean pulling off combos easily and smoothly. Like how we see videos of the pros do it.

Two months ago before I discovered pro yo-yoing on youtube I thought I was good. I was the best yo-yoer I knew. I could get a longer sleeper and go around the world more times on one throw than anyone else. So, I was good.

Then I saw the pros in action. Suddenly I wasn’t so good any more. I was intrigued though.

So I bought a better yo-yo just hoping that some day I’d be good enough to do an atomic bomb. I figured if I could do that, I’d be good enough. The stuff the pros do, well that’s just insane. I was just looking for an atomic bomb and my yo-yoing life would be complete.

I’ve now set of enough nuclear bombs for a five hundred year nuclear winter. And I can now pull off stuff I never dreamed I’d be able to do.

So compared to the person for whom the yo-yo goes down, comes up, goes down, almost comes up, goes down, stays down; I’m pretty good.

Compared to serious yo-yoers, I’m just a beginner.

But most importantly, compared to the expectations and goals I had set for myself - I’ve exceeded them and continue to surprise myself with each new trick I learn.

It’s all relative I suppose.

it took me about 5 months to learn all the things to master tricks and i only have two yoyos a dm and a legacy but that is an example of you dont need a lot of yoyos to start yoyoing but i do not leave my house without my yoyo

i started getting really good in Febuary so about 3 months

Good has many meanings. TO people today, good means you can walk the dog and around the world.

To us, good means we can do Inter-Master Tricks.

I honestly have to say, I suck compared to a lot of people here, but I am good to the world of non-yoers. I could use a lot of improvement

There is no guideline as to being good yoyoing, this is established by you and only you.

I don’t know if I’ll ever be good at yoyoing the way I want to be. I’m awfully busy, and the tricks don’t come easy to me. If I felt I had to be good within a certain amount of time, I think I would have to give it up; it wouldn’t be fun for me any more. So I try not to worry about it.

If you worry about how good you are and you aren’t just having fun, it starts to turn into almost a chore, which nobody likes to do. Just keep practicing and wait until you get another trick or start to get a trick consistently and smoothly. Then you get that feeling that you’ve just done something not many people have and it makes you feel sooo good. To me, that is the best part of yoyoing.

exactly 7 months 2 days and 58 minutes.

but in all seriousness, i dont really consider myself good, i think im decent but i have a long way to go until i get as good as a lot of the pros out there.

I think This thread should be ā€œhow long did it take you to finish master tricksā€.

Agreed, Or ā€œWhat do you consider ā€œGoodā€ yo-yoing and when?ā€

i have been throwing for about a month and i can do all advanced tricks on this site i just practice 2 tricks per day or per two days depending on difficulty so jst practice

Been playing 6 years and I am still trying to get good. Right now I’m ALRIGHT.

I have always been good…

I still haven’t learned a couple master tricks. I never wanted too. I never will.

About 4 months.

good - satisfactory in quality, quantity, or degree

I think I’m satisfactory. It’s more based on a personal satisfaction if anything, unless you want to go judging people that is.

I haven’t learned most tricks in Advanced Part 2 and up, but I don’t think I’m bad.

Ya,I want to learn Yukki Slack,And Whut?,and White Buddha.I never really like Ladder Escape or Double Iron Whip.

I skipped around a couple of times. I never learned all the tricks here. I’m finding new inspirations for new tricks. The world of yo-yo never ends.
