I’m Rob, I haven’t picked up a yo yo for almost 15 years but I have re-mastered all the beginning tricks. And now that I have more Patience hopefully will climb up to the more advanced tricks. ---

;D Another Older age user jumping in, I started back when the Yomega Xbrain was first introduced, I was 10 at the time, went from that to a ball bearing yo-yo of similar shape, for the life of me I cannot remember the name of it but it was bright green/yellow and had an insect on it ( similar to Duncan hornet ), In the past year I’ve gone from the yoyojam classic to the ReplayPro. I also just purchased my 5 year old a brain for him to play with. ---

I’m only 26 and I feel like an old man with a yoyo 😛 Thanks for the welcome too! its crazy when I got my first ball bearing plastic yoyo I paid $30, and now I got this replay pro and its WAAY better for half the price.

Hey guys, 26 years on this earth and just now learning how much yoyo tech has advanced over these years. played with a brain and some other yomega beginner levels back in middle school. I have grown to love mechanics, physics, and science in general and the modern yoyo seems to excite many of those curiosities. I like to spin fire poi and have been to a rave or two and see some similarities with those when incorporating blacklights and led with good ole hand-eye coordination. Aaanyways… I look forward to, and thank you all in advance, for future help, trades, information, and good conversation. ---

Hi all just found this site… Wanted to see if anyone is interested in Vintage Duncan Yoyo’s. I have inherited approximately 1800 vintage Duncan Yoyo’s. Research has shown they are from 1984 various colors, I have Pro Spin Olympians, Stingers and more…All are Factory Sealed. I also have the original display posters for them. I would like to sell the entire set, however will be interested in selling some off in smaller bulk. Please respond to my email if interested…I can post pictures of what I have and give more specifics on color, models etc. if interested. ---

Hi. I’m a 45 yrs old dad and this summer 2015 we gave our kids some yoyos. They played whit them for a day and lost interest. I tried one to and for some reason i couldn’t put it down again. I ordered some yoyo’s from the internet. In Sweden there is no yoyo scene what i know of. Any ways , i ended up buying a few Yoyofactory yoyo’s. ONE, Velocity and Dv888. I played whit them for a month or so and then i orderd Dark magic II and Ed Haponik signature “Play Simply” No Jive . I ordered the no jive after watching a video on Yoyoexpert whit Ed Haponik throwing it around and something happened in me when i was watching that video. It was something whit the way the yoyo was moving, the style and feeling of it all. So i just had to order the no Jive yoyo and try for my self. I’t is the only yoyo i use nowadays. It’s just wonderful and it makes me feel in a way i like and never felt before. I’m sure i will pick up the others eventually, but fixed axle play is the thing for me right now. Azzy ---
