So I’ve been lurking for a while and finally decided to start engaging a little while ago. I guess I can introduce myself as well. I’m Brandon im just some middle aged guy with kids that likes to yoyo occasionally. My first yoyo that got me excited for yo-yos a Yomega Raider a long while back and I still have it even though it’s in rough shape. I made a post about fixing it. I dropped yoyo for a while and then like a year ago I got a sage d fizz and all of a sudden I was hooked. Now I’m like 50 yo-yos deep and having a blast. I’m decent at looping and 0A and learning 1A but I’ve had a great time both on this forum and with my yo-yos. I’ve really come to enjoy the yoyo community you all are pretty awesome and kind folk. I love all the knowledge sharing and passion for a shared interest. ---

Hi all, im Federico, Italian guy fell in love with yoyos since 2017! Unfortunately since that date the time to practise slowy decreased to almost none cause to work and sons…recently i pick up my throws again due to my older son beeing interested into yoyoing. Hope to finally reach the skill i always want to achieve. Started with a Magic yoyo n12 then got a yyf czech point, yyf Edge (the original one) C3 Radius and my beloved YoyoRecreation Draupnir and POM Draupnir. ---

Joined some time ago, but have never properly said “hi” 🙂 I’m Tomasz, from Poland (Tom is ok). Came back to yoyoing 1 year ago, after a hiatus… of like a 20 years. So straight from Inifinite Illusions and Extreme Spin and Black doing the Black Hops to J Ralph’s “One Millions Mile Away” just a moment ago on a movie uploaded somewhere somewhen, cause there was no YouTube back then :wink: Now, being 20 years older and having much less time I’m equally into collecting as just having fun and progressing one day at a time. ---

Hey, y’all! I am TheMadComputerScientist (Kurt). Here’s a little bit about me: Father, Husband, Mad Computer Scientist, Mathematician, Lay Theologian, Reader, I am the geek squad. I’ve been playing with yo-yos since right around the time Duncan was acquired by Flambeau. I lay claim to no special skills at all. I hadn’t played in a very long time, but wanted to try out some of the newer yo-yos. Brian over at [yoyotrícks.com](http://xn--yoyotrcks-l5a.com) helped me navigate my way through the evolution since my first Duncan Tournament Glitter. I played with Imperials throughout college in the early 80s and ProYos in the early 2000s. I’ve been away from the hobby for almost 2 decades. I’ve added several yo-yos to the collection over the past couple of weeks. A DV888, Origen, El Mijo, and a couple of Initiators. Oh, and a couple of wooden Tournament Crossed flags. Everything I have is set up for 0A right now cause that’s home to me. I’ve got a lot to learn. I don’t know anything about things like stalls & mounts etc. Right now I’m focusing on getting comfortable with these newer yo-yos and relearning the stuff from when I was younger. ---

Welcome Mr. Kurt. Dont be ashamed of the 0A. There is a large contingent of us that love 0A fixed axel and Modern responsive play. The introduction of stalls in this style has opened the door to new tricks over the last decade. Along with Modern Responsive 5A play. We have a great community here. Read around, jump into some of the threads, and dont hesitate to ask questions. Have fun. ---

Hello! I’m Mori, and live in NE. I started learning to yoyo late last year, and have fallen deeply in love with the hobby. There isn’t much of a local yoyo scene at all here, so I’m hoping for some opportunities to learn tricks as part of a group - I came here because of the trick-a-week thread. My favorite throw is the C3yoyoDesign Laevateinn, and when im not practicing I’m learning language, playing video games, or watching movies with robots in them. Looking forward to meeting some of you!! And here’s my collection! ![20230202_151421](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/a/f/aaf53ea20505f4f0041f5ece0377377d43ca78ec.jpeg) ---

Welcome, Morgan. TAW is a great tool. Things seem to be a getting a little more advanced but @mable has taken great care to get it organized very nicely. Don’t be scared to go back and cherry pick something that suits you. The group is always willing to help! Good luck. ---
