I am pretty much in the same boat (or worst 15 years off) and experiencing the same things. hah!

Hail all yoyo masters!😃  
I’m Kristian, another norwegian yoyo’er. Not long time ago, Pheenix, my mate, brought a yoyo to school and after that I started yoyoing together with him. I remember my brother yoyoing, but I was too young to understand what the heck he was doing. Now im 15 years, getting 16 now, in may. I think im going to buy a superstar after my birthday. I can’t wait! Right now i got dark magic, speeder and dif-e internal turmoil yoyo. Some of my favourite yoyo’ers is Hiroyuki Suzuki, John Ando and Andre Boulay.  
I love yoyoexpert and Andre Boulay, he is such a good trainer. I don’t know any more to tell, so I will put an end here. Thanks yoyoexpert and Andre for helping me out with yoyoing! Keep up the good work!

Yo, my name is Aaron. I maybe met some of you in Chico last October. I’ve been yoing for about… Let’s see… From 1998 to maybe mid 1999 and early 2008 until now. A few years all in all maybe?

I do a bit of everything: 1A, 2A, 3A (very poorly), 4A, 5A.

I’m 24. I’m a college student. I’m into yo yoing, underground music and 2D fighting games sometimes (though not at the moment hahaha). That’s pretty much it.

Thanks for having me. 🙂

My name is Matt. I always loved yo-yos as a kid and as of just a couple of months ago I would have said I was a pretty good yo-yoer. I could get a 15 to 20 sec sleeper, go around the world multiple times, walk the dog, and rock the baby. Just how much more to yo-yoing could there be?

Then I saw Suzuki on youtube and eventually found this place. I feel like I’ve had a yo-yo awakening of some sort.

I quickly ordered a Throw Monkey and began my renewed journey into the world of yo-yoing. I love it and am completely addicted. I’ve even dreamed of yo-yos at night.

After working my way through the intermediate tricks and most of the counterweight, I decided it was time for an upgrade. I went with the Dark Magic. Now just a couple of months ago I would have been aghast at anyone spending $40 on a yo-yo plus extra string, lube, and etc. But my how things change. It was totally worth it and I completely understand why some people buy the $100+ yo-yos.

Well, I teach at a high school. I’ve been taking my yo-yos to school with me and doing a trick here and there. It’s caught on. There are now yo-yos all over the school. We’re actually talking about starting a yo-yo club at school next year.

Our ability to do this I would say is about 95% because of this website. Without the step by step instructions we get here,… I don’t think any of this would have happened. We’d still just be walking the dog.

So I’d like to give a huge thanks to all those who make this site happen.
