Yo!! My name is Charles. Used to yoyo when I was 12 before the unresponsive yoyos. I had the red yomega x brain. I got back into it on Fatherā€™s day 2021 with a black Magic yoyo V3. It got run over by a car and still played well. Iā€™m happy to now be apart of the community and learn about how much it has grown since I stopped. šŸ˜ ---

Hey all, I guess I should properly introduce myself like a good lad. My name is Dave, David, Vid or whatever you want to call me. I am actually the opposite of a lad, Iā€™m an old man, will be turning 44 in a couple of weeks. Iā€™m a single father (divorced) of an awesome 7 year old daughter who got a 3 pack of yoyoā€™s for a stocking stuffer for Christmas, to make a long story short, I tried them out for myself and I got hooked, I made the mistake of Googling why I couldnā€™t get the yoyo to sleep as I remember being pretty decent when I was a kid throwing Duncan Yoyoā€™s. Back in those days, I never got too deep into it but I donā€™t recall there being unresponsive or even bearings in yoyos in the early 90ā€™s, but I could be wrong, it blew my mind when I came across this info and Iā€™m sure I did what a lot of you did, I went on Clamazon to order me a yoyo I knew nothing about. My first one was enough to get me interested, it was a WATIEOBOO, which I learned to hate once I started getting higher quality throws (yeah, Iā€™m getting the lingo down somewhat haha). Anyway, fast forward about 4 months now, all I can do is think, dream and breathe yoyoā€™s. I am trying to chill out on buying more but I donā€™t think participating in the forums is going to do me any good in that regard. What else? Hmmmm, I play guitar and am also passionate about that, though I donā€™t necessarily collect guitars (that getā€™s way more expensive than yoyos), Iā€™ve been playing since I was 10 or 11. I mainly play acoustic & classical guitar now but I bring out the Fender Strat from time to timeā€¦ I only have 4 guitars. Iā€™m on a classical kick now, learning some traditional classical music, the latest song I learned is Chopin Nocturn Op. 9 no. 2. I like to keep my nails long for my guitar playing but thatā€™s proven hard since taking up the yoyo. I like Metal, Prog, Shoegaze, Experimental/Avant Garde, Punk, Hip Hop and everything in between. My take is, there is good music in every genre, you just gotta search for it like anything else. Iā€™m also a pipe smoker and like good wine, pipe tobacco getā€™s better with age, so I have about 300 pounds aging in my ā€œcellarā€ as I slowly smoke away at it, I have more than a life time supply. I have close to 100 pipes, give or take a few and that is nothing compared to the hardcore pipe enthusiasts, my collection is pretty modest compared to some. I live in Austin, TX. And thatā€™s about it. I look forward to learning the ways of the yoyo! That was longer than I set out but thatā€™s just how I roll. Thanks for having me. ---

Iā€™m David. Old guy, first yoyo was completely wooden, even the shaft. First ā€˜realā€™ yoyo was a Duncan Imperial back in the 60s. Got a Butterfly after that. Had it for probably a decade or more. Never got really good but could do the basics. Few weeks ago got my first yoyo in over 40 years, a Duncan Hornet and of course after messing around with it I had to get another Butterfly, an XT this time. And just last week got a Torque. So still sticking with Duncan. Need to run out and buy another Imperial at some point for old time sake. ---
