My name is Count Cornelius Huckabee. I am the 4th removed step cousin of Sebastian Creamcornigan. While galavanting the Galaxy for the Best Bacon Double Cheeseburger, my Commander noticed a Yo-yo being used as a Doorstop on a Magnetic Propulsion Hovercraft, idling in front of a Mini-Market. We procured the skill toy using a Tractor beam. It replaced my Pet Rock as my favorite toy. Sadly the yo-yo had no string, so for the next several Time units, I just did snap starts to finger spins and palm grinds. After being fatally injured while filming a Jumprope video, I was Cryogenically frozen for 3700 years, until the body parts I needed could be invented. Immediately after being thawed out, I jumped up and ran right past a whole tray full of Cheeseburgers to buy a yo-yo from a Taco truck that was running a five and dime. I Find that if I throw yo-yos at least an hour a day, it helps me keep my promise to myself to Never kill again. I’ve been searching the entire Universe for a Home for the Criminally Insane. And although I have yet to find the perfect place, this Forum is the closest so far. My nickname is Mo and I dream of some day, getting a beater yo-yo and modding it somehow. Besides yo-yos, I collect vintage Classic Coke Carbonated bubbles. I suspend them in a Plasma based mist, inverted within a Vacuum Chamber. ---

Hey all! I’m Tyler, took a break for about 4 months while dealing with some issues - but prior to that was really active in the community. I’ve been throwing about 5 years now, absolutely love it - and alway ALWAYS happy to help anyone with anything. Tricks, maintenance questions, just life in general! ---

Hi, I’m Tony. I’ve recently gotten back into playing with yoyos. I’ve been enjoying reading everything here and seeing just how many yoyos are out there, the showoff your collection post is awesome. I was huge into it back in the late 90s after we had a couple of guys put on a show at my school. I remember my Yomega Fireball being my pride and joy back then. I stuck with it for a couple years and then moved on to other hobbies. About a year ago I ordered a Leshare x2 black pearl off Amazon on a whim. I played with it a bit and then shelfed it and forgot about it. I picked it up again about a week ago and managed to do a couple basic things and now the bug has got me again. Over the course of the last week I’ve ordered a Duncan Echo, a Duncan Roadrunner (this one is my favorite currently, super comfortable in my hand), a C3 Action, a C3 Speedaholic responsive, a YYF Atom Smasher and a Jigun Hanabi. I also just placed another order this morning for a string sampler pack and a C3 Speedaholic MN that caught my eye. I’m still waiting for everything but the Duncans to arrive. I figured I should get a spread of shapes, sizes and materials to try out and see what I like. Anyway that’s my story at the moment, just decided I should join instead of lurking lol ![1000021388](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/9/3/6939d9fdbb4302e60fde659fbf5275224ddf605b.jpeg) ---

Hi all! My name is Jason, and I threw Yomega Fireballs a lot as a kid, but then didn’t pick up a yoyo for many decades. A childhood friend gifted me a Fireball out of nostalgia, and I had a lot of fun showing my kids the tricks I could remember (they were really impressed by UFO and time warp). It got me thinking that yoyo technology must have improved, so I started researching, and learned that there’s a whole new style of play with unresponsive yoyos. So, of course I went overboard and bought like 2 dozen cheap throws for my kids and I to all play with and learn with. That was about 3 months ago, and I’m loving learning modern unresponsive tricks, but probably spend an equal amount of time working on modern responsive / 0A stuff. Found myself here through a link to Fixed Axle February, which I think is super cool. I’m still trying to clean up my trap stall to brother stall repeater. I also do a lot of 3D printing, and am working on printing some FA throws to use for the remainder of the month. Here’s a few of the modern throws I’ve picked up recently. I also have quite a few loopers that aren’s shown here. ![Throws](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/6/f/56f8af70802747b2556470dc1e4170af23d3d103.jpeg) [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/introduce-yourself-2025/416475.md?page=3) [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/introduce-yourself-2025/416475.md?page=5)
