Oi, my name’s Randy Jansen. I’m from Georgia, and have been throwing on and off since 04. I’ve probably had a month long stint with every skill toy in existence, but I think I’ve stuck with yoyoing because of all the friends I’ve made in the community. Look forward to contributing here. ---

Heya! My name is Andrew Robinson! I live in Kentucky USA, and I have been yoyoing hardcore since February 2005. I love to make videos and I have made easily over 200 yoyoing-related videos since I started. I used to be known as FNG, but I prefer to use my real name nowadays. My favorite yoyo is the Yoyofactory Superstar, but I also like the GM2, 888, and DV888. Nice to meet you all! ---

Hello everyone!!! Name’s Josh and I’ve always been interested in the art of yoyoing. (did I spell that right???) I have been practicing for 1 and a half years now, and am already getting better! I originally was using a fast 201 for my main weapon of choice, (besides a mosquito, which was really hard to land back on the string with :D) but it broke a few days ago, and, the string snapped on both my yoyo’s, so I’m at a loss, cause I don’t have any more string. However, I am currently waiting for an X-convict, so hopefully that will arrive soon. It’s awesome to finally be among yoyo experts! ---
