Hey…My name is Jake. I used to yoyo about 3 years ago got to a decent level, basically through all the ‘advanced’ on Andre’s tutorials, but stopped for no apparent reason. Recently I started throwing again and bought a Shutter. Oh and I’m from the Akron Ohio area. ---

Hello everyone. My name is AJ, and I just started. My job doesn’t leave a lot of personal time in my life and I needed a hobby. Throwing a yo-yo is something I can do nearly anywhere, with any amount of time, so I bought my Duncan Imperial 5 days ago, and feel hooked. I can do a few of the basic tricks now. I even burned out my first string today. Anyway, I’m excited to be part of the community. I’m even more excited to get my next yo-yo. I’ve got my eyes on the String Theory Singularity. Mostly due to it’s size, and how it looks. I still have no idea what I’m doing. ---

Hey all. My name is Luke. I live in sprawling metropolis known as Pittsburgh. I’m 35, and spent a long time getting good in my teens. We didn’t have this inter-web back then. But thanks to The Yonomicon and later [www.yoyoing.com/sector-y](http://www.yoyoing.com/sector-y) (yeah, what up with that!) I was getting pretty good in my early twenties. Life took over and I would pick up every now and then, but never learn anything new. Now I have a son, and I think that yoyoing will be a great thing that I can share with him. So time to keep learning! ---

Hi everyone, I’m Peter and I’m a (just turned yesterday) 36 year old who has recently renewed his interest in throwing. Right now I’m practicing on a YYF One and a dv888 responsive and starting to get into unresponsive play. I live in Michigan now but moving to Chicago in the next few weeks. I’m pretty terrible when it comes to landing anything complicated or even intermediate sometimes, but practicing every day for a couple of hours is making me better. I hope to work my way up to bring worthy of a higher end throw like a CLYW, but I cannot justify spending that kind of dough right now when I’m about to start a new job and not even good enough to put it to good use. 🙂 I just acquired a (used) OD Yelets and excited to test that out. ---
