I’ll allow it

I’m happy to hear I’m not the only one. I’ve seen some competitions and I don’t even have the hand eye coordination to even watch what they are doing.

I have those phases. I have similar issues and end up getting obsessed and hyper focused. It keeps me relaxed.

Hey all, first post here! I was fairly active over on the r/throwers Reddit like 7 years ago, and I bought a few yoyos on the BST here under a username which revealed a little too much personal info… but I never actually posted anything. Anyways I’ve got the bug again and I’m looking forward to talking yoyo. Here’s a combo I’ve been working on.

Welcome. There is something a little special, I think, about the feeling you get when you pick up a yo-yo again for the first time in years, and come to a newfound appreciation of them. Remembering them fondly and yet appreciating them even more than ever. Have fun and welcome again

Awesome tricks man, I can’t wait to see more of your combos! And welcome back! I took a long break from regularly throwing as well and just got back into it the last several months and it’s great to be back.

Thank you @Slestak75 and @Sgt1yoyo1! You’re both on point, it is great to be back. Every time I throw a yoyo for the first time in a while, I feel the same magic that I did when I was a kid. And that feeling is so refreshing.

Hey y’all, my name is Patrick, I’ve been throwing off and on (mainly off) for a few years now and I’m finally getting back into it. My gf and I got some Duncan Butterflies on a whim for her kids as stocking stuffers, and we both wound up having a blast so we got a Hornet and some Butterfly XTs locally and I ordered some throws to get into unresponsive play.

My other hobbies/passions are music and skateboarding. I also like video games, mainly retro stuff and Nintendo IP. I play in some rock bands and also do electronic music, I’ve been skating for 20 years, but I live in the Midwest so I don’t get to do it year round. Yo-yoing kind of scratches the same itch of working on new tricks and focusing on something besides my phone when it’s harder to get outside. I’m still very much a beginner, but I’m learning new stuff every day and throwing whenever I can.
