Hey everyone! My name is Will, I’m 22 next week and come from the UK. I’ve tried to yoyo in the past, but only with cheap ones you’d get from the supermarket and I never really researched how to do it properly. Recently I’ve been looking for something to keep my hands occupied and looked into yoyos. After watching some YouTube videos and doing a bit of research, I decided to get a Fast 201 as my first yoyo. I’ve never been able to properly throw a yoyo so really excited to see how I do! ---

Hi! My name is David. I run a YouTube channel called Yoyo 101. Originally my main practice was 4a yoyoing, but recently I have devoted my playing to 1a. I love to teach those who want to learn, so if you need help figuring out a trick, let me know, and I will do my best to clear it up for you! Yoyo on! ---

Hello! My name is Jason, I’m 38, and I’m new fairly new to yo-yoing, unless you count some fond memories of walking the dog and shooting the moon with a glow-in-the-dark Duncan Imperial as a kid. I decided to pick it back up as a way to burn off some stress, and after picking up a Duncan Butterfly and Butterfly XL from a local toy store, I know I definitely want to pursue it further. I’m leaning heavily toward wooden fixed axle play as I start out. I’m drooling over Tom Kuhn’s No Jives, but can’t find one available anywhere. 😢 I’m also liking what I see from Hildy Bros., TMBR and O.U.T. Sadly, there isn’t much of an active online presence surrounding them, and most of them are sold out. If anyone else is a wood fixie player or has the scoop on them or any other wood makers, feel free to message me. Thanks! ---

I am not very good at either Fixed or bearing play but I enjoy collecting and using fixed axles particularly since my very first throw was a wood Butterfly back in the day when they were available in any Dime store. ---

Hey everyone, I’m Risto and just getting into some yo-yoing. I believe life is to short not to have serious play time. Have a lot of big boy toys I like to play with. The last kid toy competition I was into was flying competition quad line Rev. kites. Unfortunately where I now live the wind sucks. Watching where the yoyo sport and technology has gone in the last ten years, just looks like way too much fun to be missing out on. So I bought some new throws and I’m on my way. I almost forgot, I play bass and electric guitar, keyboards, and I compose music. It’s somewhere between 60’s psychedelic rock, hard alternative, and new age. Think about what a mind parasite would sound like. Looking forward to creating some new music to bring my yoyo to life, that is after I have had some time to build my skill set. Also enjoying read your comments. YoRisto ---

I put yo-yoing down for two years or so after three or for years of solid practice. Now, I’ve picked it back up for good. I’m rejoining the forums because my old account died with the hobby. ---

Hello! My name is Marcin. I used to practice yoyoing in the past, but I gave it up almost 5 years ago. Now I am trying to get back and I thought yoyoexpert forum is a good place to start! I hope to never give up yoyoing ever again.
