It’s old and barely used. Never learned a lot with it. I like the bearing ones available now and am hoping to learn a few tricks.

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 Father’s day 2021 with a black Magic yoyo V3. It got run over by a car and still played well. I’m happy to now be apart of the community and learn about how much it has grown since I stopped.

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, I’m an old man, will be turning 44 in a couple of weeks. I’m a single father (divorced) of an awesome 7 year old daughter who got a 3 pack of yoyo’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 couldn’t get the yoyo to sleep as I remember being pretty decent when I was a kid throwing Duncan Yoyo’s. Back in those days, I never got too deep into it but I don’t recall there being unresponsive or even bearings in yoyos in the early 90’s, but I could be wrong, it blew my mind when I came across this info and I’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, I’m getting the lingo down somewhat haha).
Anyway, fast forward about 4 months now, all I can do is think, dream and breathe yoyo’s. I am trying to chill out on buying more but I don’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 don’t necessarily collect guitars (that get’s way more expensive than yoyos), I’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 time… I only have 4 guitars. I’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 that’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. I’m also a pipe smoker and like good wine, pipe tobacco get’s better with age, so I have about 300 pounds aging in my “cellar” 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 that’s about it. I look forward to learning the ways of the yoyo!
That was longer than I set out but that’s just how I roll. Thanks for having me.

Welcome! You’ll find that there’s a lot of musicians here as well and the music thread is full of interest in guitars so you are in good company! Also, there is a yoyo club that meets regularly in Austin so feel free to check it out!

Hi, not my first time, but i realized i never did this.
Hi! i’m Summer! I’m a 5a player from Pennsylvania. My favorite yoyo brand is c3yoyodesign, and my favorite throw is Stellar IX. (I am planning on getting a Galaxy Dinosaur which i imagine will replace it though)
I also do kendama and poi, which i recommend if you enjoy 5a style.

I’m David. Old guy, first yoyo was completely wooden, even the shaft. First ‘real’ 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.

Yo! Rev here!
UK born n raised 
Just got back into the yoyo loop after a 10 year hiatus, when the newest thing was an 888x.
Dark Magic ii had just dropped, that was my first yoyo when I started!
All this new stuff is crazy and I’m loving it.
It’s good to be back!
