howdy. im vashu. i’m really new to yo-yoing. i started thinking about how much more i enjoyed it as a kid than others, and figured that it would be a very lovely use of otherwise wasted time. i really get a kick out of looping so far. the large motions and range of movement make it more exciting to perform, and it feels like a bigger spectacle to others. right now i have 2 duncan mosquitos, a Raider, and a speed beetle. vroom vroom! ---

Hello, my name is Joe. I just got back in to the sport of yo-yoing a few weeks ago when my daughter brought home a yo-yo and wanted to learn how. I always had a Imperial with me when I was in high school through the 80’s. It was just something to kill time with while I was waiting around on about anything. So after picking it up after all these years, and looking on youtube for videos on how to do those cool tricks I could never do back then. I found Andre’s videos, which in turn led me here. Needless to say I am having a blast with it. It still gives me something to do while I am waiting around (I spend a lot of time in motels with my job, with nothing to do), and I have tossed my $3.50 Duncan Mosquito for two weeks now. But now I shall retire the Mosquito for the Dark Magic II I just got in the mail yesterday from yoyoeXpert. Today, I am working on binds with my DM2. It’s coming along. Thanks to this site and the yo-yo community across the internet, I feel sure I will be pulling cool tricks soon, in turn to pass along to my 9 year old daughter. After all, she is the one who wanted to learn how to yo-yo, I am just learning to pass it on… :wink: Thanks! ---

Hey I’m hakysak. I’ve been a casual yoyoer for about ten years, starting when all those clutch release yoyos were super popular. I started fiddling around with a Duncan Mosqito a few years ago, just learning a few tricks here and there. A week or so ago I picked up a Pocket-Pros Zombie and began learning more advanced tricks. Yoyoing has interested me for some time, but now it has become a serious hobby of mine. ---

My friends call me cavekid. i have always used yoyo’s growing up but never had a gnak. christmas of 09 my brother got me a duncan imperial and i just couldent put it down, then i lost it. About two months ago i found it and play but couldent stand the responsivness, friends kept saying “get a yomega!” walfart dident have them so i got a mosquito and loved it. started learning tricks on youtube from andre, and really liked his yoyo, i had no idea there was such a world of yoyoing. So i bought the dark magik II and loved, like 5 days later i bought the mighty flea because i have small hands and it looked like fun, i got my friend into it to, he got the half and half by crucial. now i just purchased the genesis +, i know i am probubly getting a head of my self, but these god dam things are addicting, not only is it a sport, hobby and great way to pass the time, im starting a collection of high end yoyos. p.s. my girlfriend would kill me if she knew how much money i have spent so far. ---

Hello everyone my name is Omar, I’ve been yo-yoing off and on all of 15+ years of my life, but just really taken it serious the last 5 months. So I’m far from an expert. I have about 14 to 15 different types of yoyos from pro pocket to Duncan and all in between. I look forward to meeting as many of you as time goes by. Take care and good day to you all. ---

;D yo im eric durish…im new to advanced yoyo, ive always loved yoyos and always had like a $5 duncan growing up that i would buy from walgreens lol. About a couple months ago i came across a duncan butterfly at walgreens and was like “man a yoyo! i havent had one in forever!” So i bought it and had about 10 minutes of fun with it and went to the duncan website to lookup better yoyos. I came across the FH zero and needed it, knowing that it would be good to begin with. sO I ORDERED IT AND STARTED WATCHING PROS LIKE JUAN Renteria and was amazed. Ive been learning some cool tricks and want to increase my skills…i soon plan on ordering a dv888 for my first metal yoyo. Thanks for reading and i hope to get in touch with fellow throwersin the chicago area. ---

Hi, I’m Gael, 35. I’ve been playing with an imperial yoyo for fun for 7 years. I recently decided to try 1A. I now own a YYJ Mini MoTu and a Crucial Half & Half. I love yoyoing, try to learn tricks.
