Hey, congrats on being sober and welcome! As someone who struggled for years to get to a point to be able to say that, its an amazing accomplishment and something to be proud of. :heart:

Yoyoing can be a great distraction when cravings hit, and something else to focus on instead of using.

Hey all, happy to be here. My name is Aaron, I’m in Indy. Been throwing for a few months consistently now. We have a good group meeting up regularly in the Indianapolis area.

I have a small collection, but my favorite is the c3 Dino in the wild that I just got as a reward for learning dna.

I would really love to add a motion parallel to my collection if anyone has any leads or would be willing to part with one, I’d be eternally grateful.

Outside of yoyo I like to ride electric unicycle, am somewhat of a serious gamer, and licensed massage therapist. Happy throwing!

That’s a heck of a reward for doing the DNA. :smiley:
I’ve not tried the Dino in the Wild but there’s definitely good things being said about it. Welcome!!

I’m gonna stall out on there soon anyways. I haven’t been able to hit black hops yet so I’m sure I will be stuck there for a minute. I think for now I’ll just do one trick a day to drag it out :joy:

Yeah I have started to just take my time and polish whatever trick I am at and I eventually post up a clean take that looks nice. Finally earned enough pills to order the spin top, so now I’m focusing on the Trick a Week and Fixed axle Feb stuff here.

Also Jake of G2Squared has started an Average Throws Club challenge that I have been working on, so I’m kinda of all “learn this trick”’d out at the moment :laughing:

@LordKingOf i started wind and truth and didn’t remember what was going on so i’m going back through again. almost done with way of kings. branden sanderson is a terrific writer!

@Saltboi nothing unfortunate about being sober. i’m on that path myself. just 7 months in but it’s the most important thing in my life now. one day at a time, brother. if you ever need someone to talk to feel free to reach out

@MulberryWombat D.I.Wild is an amazing throw! What game(s) do you play?

@mikeydoe once upon a time I was a top 1% halo infinite ranked player. These days I’ve been playing path of exile, finishing up Indiana Jones while waiting for Monster Hunter Wilds.

Hey all, I’m Anthony and I’ve been a string junkie for years. Kites(I do sport kite demos and big show kites for a few festivals), was into control line planes but now into RC and of course YoYos.

Got into yo-yo’s as a kid with a Tom Kuhn designed Smothers Brothers 2a set and been throwing off and on ever since. Stepped away for a while but got the bug back after finding all my old throws in a box in my parents garage.

It’s funny when I see what has changed in Yoyo tech. High tech when I stopped was sleeved axels and the Yomega brain. I don’t think bearings were in use yet and everything was responsive. It’s a different game now but enjoying the new challenges.

Whether it’s one day, one month, one year or one decade, it’s still something to be celebrated.

Congrats on 7 months. :heart:

Thanks for having me! I started yo-yoing in 1998 in Oregon. Like many others, I was in aw of what Sector Y was putting up. Gabriel Lozano and Doctor Popular are my two biggest influences. I got to meet all my heroes at Nationals 2002 and 2004. I love 1A both responsive and unresponsive. Lately for unresponsive I use my D.I.Y. by Doctor Popular. And for responsive I use the newer Freehand Zero. I also love fixed axle style, for that I tend to use a Manta Ray or a Bunny Martin. I consider yo-yo tricks to be an art form. Each trick or combo is like a painting. So I often gravitate towards repeating tricks that let the player and audiences minds rest into the flowing patterns. Growing up watching Gabriel Lozano gave me a strong preference for flowing style. I post a lot of my own tricks, and pay homage to other players tricks at Joseph Stromme (@josephstromme) • Instagram photos and videos
