Hey, I’m Dale coming from Okinawa, Japan. I’ve been visiting this site for almost a couple of months now for yoyo tricks and tips, and I finally decided to make an account. I’m currently throwing a YYF Whip and JK, and want to invest into some better yoyos in the future. I’m not really that skilled, but I come here to learn (: ---

Hi all! People call me Logan. I’m a 16ish year old sophmore in the middle of Indiana. I pass the time with yoyoing and videogames. Yoyoing is a new hobby of mine, but I can already tell I’ll be passionate about it for years to come. My first yoyo was and is a YYJ Equinox, mostly because I think offstring is one of the cooler looking divisions. I’m decent for this being my 2nd week, but I have much room to improve on. I heard about YoyoExpert while looking for review sites. I love forums, so I’ll spend a lot of time around here. I’ll see you all around the forums! ;D ---

Hey guys, my name is Rob. I’m on YYNs forum as well, figured I might as well join this one so I can get the most out of the community! My current favorite throw is a toss up between the Wet Whistle or the Gnarwhal… I go back and forth throughout the day. Looking to pick up some more CLYW soon. EDIT: A little bit about myself: I’m 23 years old Done 5 years in the Army Nat’l Guard, just reenlisted for another 6 Going back to college after a deployment and a long hiatus I’ve only been throwing for about 2 months (modern style anyways, I threw a lot when I was younger) My other hobby is cars, I have a 2000 z/28 Camaro, waiting for me to put on a turbo kit and feed it some e85. Hoping for 700ish rwhp on the stock motor. ---

Hello, My name is Blake, I’m a 23 year old college student and advanced yoyo enthusiast in Gunnison, CO. I learned to yoyo years ago from John Higby and Jon Gates in the Denver area. I used to go to all the comps on the colorado front range until about 10 years ago. Recently I have decided to start my own yoyo club in Gunnison because there is a large movement of kids becoming engaged in the sport. My favorite yoyos are my SR-71 and my MiniMotrix and my favorite tricks are spirit bomb and kamakaze. I didn’t actually know this site existed until the kids told me about it but i’m glad it does! ---

Hey I picked up my first yoyo when I was 12 and I learned simple tricks, I just recently started to yoyo everyday and I have learned most of the tricks on the learning list and I am also starting to add them together. I love many tricks (Boingy Boing, Budhas Revenge, Leg Wrap Trap, and many more) I would love to me Andre because his videos have tought me everything I know, I even use the yoyo he uses, the Dark Magic 2, I love that yoyo. I use it so much that just now my response pads fell off lol. I love to yoyo and will keep doing it thank you yoyoexpert for all of the help. [/quote] ---

hey 😃 my names adrian, 17 years old and im from atlanta georgia. currently im in a boarding school in cummington mass right outside of northampton. i started doing skill toys when i was 12. it began with penspinning and than went into fire poi and contact juggling. ive been doing poi for 5 years now. i wanted to pick something up new and i realized i had always wanted to learn to yoyo so i went out to a2z and bought a journey. instantly i began to pull of advanced tricks for a first timer (trapeze, double or nothing, etc) i was so suprised because growing up my brother had a duncan and i always saw him do simple tricks like cradle yet i couldnt even do a gravity pull. now ive been throwing for about 9 months and ive far surpassed what i ever thought i would be able to do. im here to learn 🙂 ---

I started to learn tricks from here and i finally made an account. I live all the way up here in Canada and no one in my area yoyo`s. Im pretty lonely here and i guess you could say I want to join the yoyo community. Thanks and see you all later ;D ;D ---
