I’d like to commend this forum community and the moderators for a tightly-run ship. I’m a concerned dad who’s been really encouraged to see how supportive and encouraging everyone here is toward beginners.

I appreciate the welcoming attitude here on the forums and the vigilant policing done by the moderators. This is a relief when compared to any number of other hobbies my son could be pursuing, filled with “H8T3r$”, insults and bad attitude.

Keep up the good work! As a result, my 10 yr old is sold-out on yo-yoing and is even forming a ‘club’ at school where he’s teaching what he learns here to other beginners.

(BTW he just got his 888 in the mail after wearing out his DM, and he’s walking on clouds!)

Yup, this is the place you described! I like to see that there are some new throwers coming around.

Absolutely. Out of the many yoyo forums, this is really the best one to learn on, especially for a young child.

Awesome! It’s good to see other Dads on the forum. I’m a father of 3 boys. My oldest is the Oklahoma state champion. 18 My middle is a skater and yoyoer. 15. And my 8 year old is…well…8. lol

Question. Do you yoyo too? You should. It’s a great connection with your child. Trust me that’s the only way me and my 18 year old gets along.

Also thank you for the nice words.
