The action in the Panama City Beach as far as I have seen is not at all. In Orlando and other points south there is a lot more action. ---

> [@caleb.k48](#): > > Hello 🙂 > My name is Caleb and I have been yoyoing for a while. > I started a couple years back when I picked up a Duncan butterfly. I learned how to do some of the basic tricks like sleeper, walk the dog, and rock the baby. I recently got back into the hobby a couple months back because some friends from church showed me some cool looking string tricks. I eventually started picking up this hobby and went to some meets in my area. I also like trying out new yoyos and learning new tricks. I enjoy this hobby and I will continue to have fun in the yoyoing community. It’s been about 2 months now, in that time I’ve won a single yoyo contest and made a friend his name is Guy wright I think and he’s a cool guy. I’ve made many of variations to tricks I know, and even some of my own! It been a while since you wrote back I’d like to know more about u. ---

I suppose I should introduce myself here after lurking about these forums for awhile. I am JT (yes that is what people call me) and I am middle aged guy who used to throw when I was very young but fell away from it for reasons that I can’t remember. Anyway, last year my wife heard me comment that I used to love my yo-yo was I was young and she surprised me for my birthday with a new yo-yo! I had forgetten how much I loved it and so over this past year I have really jumped back into it. I am a casual level player that mostly does 1A with a bit of 4A now and then. My current collection includes (in order of purchase): YYF DV888 (the one from my wife the got me started) YYT Civility OD Gradient Duncan Skyhawk YYF Space Cowboy YYF Flight OD Downbeat (my favourite so far!) Well, that is it from me. Happy to be here! ---

Hello my name is Ramon and I just started to yo yo for 3 months now and I have to say it is quite the journey. Now that i’ll be starting college soon I don’t know if i’ll be able to play as often as I am right now but I can only hope. i started with a simple yo yo from [■■■■■■■■■■.com](http://yoyotricks.com) and from there I started to get into yo yoing. I consider myself a fast learner as so do my peers at school who saw my current level at playing with the yo yo was quite fascinating. I learned of this site when I began to look into more stuff on yo yosand I have to say this site is astounding to say the least. I already bought two yo yos from this website and hope to expand my yo yo arsenal here. ---

Hi there, My name is Sam and I am really just getting into yoyos. I have always had a interest but didn’t have any friends into it like I was, so I didn’t practice any. Now I would like to meet some people to get better at something I have always liked. Right now I am using a Duncan Maverick and attempting to learn how to bind better. I am also looking for the MOYO club in St.Louis to meet with other people who are into this. Hope to hear from some of you! ---

Hey dudes. My names Tal. I’m from montana. There’s not really any yoers out here which is kinda disappointing… But I’ve been throwin for almost 6 months and I’m getting better except it would be helpful if there were competitions near me so I could progress and meet fellow yoers and stuff like that. Well I’ve been trying to get my friends to start but most of them have other things to do or just aren’t interested. But that’s alright. I’m hoping to go to some competitions soon. But all of them are quite a ways from montana. Peace. ---

Hello, my name is Kyle. I’m an intermediate 1A style player. My first unresponsive yoyo was a YYF Whip, then a Onestar, and into a Replay Pro to finish learning most of the tricks. I have a YYO Orbis that is one of my favorite lightweight aluminum throws and have a Onedrop Downbeat on the way. I usually use my Replay Pro when just playing around the house and learning tricks. ---
