I’m BobParty! I’m from St Augustine Fl, love Bass fishing, and knitting when I’m not throwing ( I know, a super weird combination ).
I yo-yo’d a lot in Middle School in the 90’s and picked it back up again when my daughter brought a Duncan home from school. Forgot how much I loved it.
I’m an Exec at a large company, and it’s funny to me to think that everyone thinks I’m a straight laced, no nonsense guy when I’m throwing between meetings and knitting sweaters at night hahahaha.
Great community here, met lots of great people and hope to get to know everyone better in 2024!
Hello! My name is Ryan. I started throwing around 6 months ago but only recently joined this site and the discord. Currently I’m throwing CLYW’s wish.
I think the thing that intrigues me most about throwing is the concept of flow with the yoyo. When I got the Matrix down was when it really clicked for me so I’ve been looking for other repeater tricks like superflow etc to learn. Luckily I stumbled upon Tsukasa Takatsu’s youtube channel with his hundreds of repeaters so I think I’m set for life on those
I’ve also set my ultimate yoyo goal to learn all the “Legendary” tricks on his channel as well.
It’s cool seeing a lot of musicians in here. I used to play the cello from elementary through high school and still bust it out form time to time now. I think theres a lot of similarities between playing an instrument and throwing. Theres both a physical skill/muscle memory component as well as a self expression component to both. I remember that I really leveled up on my cello when I started spending around 30min a day just practicing scales before moving on to musical pieces. So I’ve been wondering, what are the “scales” of yoyo tricks?
Yo I love this question. In 1a for me, it’s gotta be at least black hops and a generic rail combo. I’m certain there are more, but those two things really feel like they have a mechanical monotony, similar to scales.
I’m James, but most people call me Big Jesus(long hair & beard).
I’m not new to the Yoyoexpert website, but I am to the forums. Mainly gonna be in the B/S/T category.
I’ve been collecting throws since 6th grade and am still collecting them! Glad this website is still active with many people discussing this interesting hobby.
