Welcome. I understand your name is Frank, and that you friends call you Frank, and I know this is gonna sound weird but I’m always coming up with names for people…so do you mind if I call you…Frank?
As long as we can all be up front and Frank about it
Frankly…I’m not sure what you’re getting at.
I’ve been perfecting the basics on and off for 20 years, so I’m with you there. welcome!
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.
Hey guys i used to yoyo back in the day and have just recently decieded to get back into it and get some newer unresponsive yoyos im still pretty terrible but giving it a go if theres any get togethers on long island lemme know i wouldnt mind learning in real life
I have those phases. I have similar issues and end up getting obsessed and hyper focused. It keeps me relaxed.
No green eggs and ham .
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
And that combo was very nice!!
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.
Awesome. Welcome. I know there are many here who share many interests with you.
Any other musicians feel free to reach out! I love talking gear and finding new music!

And welcome to the forums! We’re glad you’re here!
Yep, there are a few musicians that I know of. @Joe77 is another, but he’s really good. Much better than I am…also has excellent taste in throws .
Welcome to the forums
Enjoy the throw my friends
