I was in my house and my brother was yoyoing and I went over to my brothers(turtleyo)yoyo case. I did not like yoyos at that time and i seen a yomega fireball. At that time he didn't like the brand yomega so i asked him for it. Of course said no so i kelped asking him and asking him and asking him so finally he got tired of it and he said yes. But with a twist only if i had it in my pocket at the times he checked me.And i had it so that is my first yoyo. What is your story. ;D
Lol, turtleyo is your brother? Anyway, I got my first yoyo somewhere back in 2003. After NED visited our school, I just HAD to get a Duncan Butterfly from Wal-Mart. Of course, I was around 5 at the time, and had no idea how to use it.
In eighth grade, there was a guy in my science class with a fast 201. He showed me a few tricks, and he soon bought a freehand. Since he now had s freehand, he gave me the 201. Pretty cool stuff!
my parents friend could do trapeeze and had a v1 tk silver bullet, he used to live in san fran, and he gave me a yoyo. A month ago he gave me his tk no jive!
Very first was a fast 201 i got at toys r us when i was like 6 back in 2003 i believe. I just got it cuz i wanted a new toy so i learned the very basics and quit. Then in 2010 i saw some dude in ralphs doing some string tricks i got my old fast and it started again lol later got a dm2.
I’ve had many yoyos over the course of my life… It’s one of my families favorite toys, but I am the first one to persue real trick… Anyway my first yoyo that got me started was a novelty that came in a shoe box… Very comparable to a firedog… While trying to figure out why it couldn’t sleep, my dad tried to open it… Turns out it wasn’t an openable design…
6th grade yomega came to our school and did their show. After that I saved for days to get a duncan bumblebee. It was 30$ back then and seemed like it was top of the line. I never got further than split the atom and lost interest. Almost 12 years later I found that old bee and started again.
I cant remember specific details, but i remember getting one while i was in boy scouts. We did a troop trip to “battleship cove” and i remember getting a yoyo from the little souvenir shop.
More recently…I purchased a YYF One and a DM2 from YYE.
I received a cheapy yoyo from a friend and I wondered why it wouldn’t sleep. After tons of research and hours of conversing on the phone, I got my starlite which i ordered from a friend
Back in the day in elementary around 94 or so. A yoyo guy performed and they sold
a standard butterfly shaped fixed axle, a Fireball, and Brain.
My mom at the time bought me the cheapest, so I had the butterfly throw
they called “Cruiser”.
In modern throws, about two years ago, I was debating whether or not to
buy these new throws that were unresponsive after seeing a couple worlds vids
on youtube. A night came when I had some drinks wink and bought a YYJ Legacy
on the act of impulse. The day after, I saw I made a purchase and thought it
was a mistake and figured I would return it as soon as the package arrived.
Package came a couple days and I figured after opening up the box seeing
the awesome bright yoyo, I’d give it a try. Haven’t looked back ever since.
actually it’s a funny story (or not, who cares?)
my son and my wife went to Japan to see her family, while there, they saw a yoyo demonstration on TV so he asked for a yoyo, so she went and bought him a bandai hyper yoyo (the rebranded FAST 201 ones).
when they got home he showed me the throw, tried it, failed (wrong throw) and forgot about it, so was my son.
a few months later, on another forum (about cars), some guy posts his FS from some competition, I was amazed, I instantly looked up for tutorials and my son’s throw. got started.
My dad bought me a butterfly for no reason and about 4 years later i looked all over thoe house cause i was really bored and found it under my bed and went on youtube. But about NED he went to my cusins school and i didnt have school that day so i went(i had been yoyoing a little over a year and afterward i happened to have my pro and taught the ned lady some tricks.
My dad got me one for christmas, put it down and never thought about it, found a trick book at the library that they had thrown away, picked up the book, ran home, got my Duncan Mosquito, the rest is history. That was 3 years ago… The good old days… ;D
My first yo-yo? Last christmas I got a little toy one, (Kinda like a yomega brain, but offbrand) at a Church service, all the kids got gifts. I took it home and played with it. Eventually I got sick of it coming back up to me automatically so I tried to make it stop, i accidently dropped it while trying to fix it, and wanted to see if it still worked. It slept! I played with it, eventually while trying to loop (even though I didn’t know what I was doing) I hit it on my wall, R.I.P. my first yoyo… Later on, since i was having so much fun with it, I made my mom take me to toys r us to see if they would have anything like it… That’s where i got my metal drifter. While trying 5a (with the directions from the duncan website) i dropped it on my deck and put a HUMONGOUS dent in it… R.I.P my metal drifter. Eventually I found yoyo expert and I used my birthday money to get my G5. Since then I have gotten a peak, sasquatch and a 4xl. Thank “Santa”.
