> [@ThinkH2o](#): > > Hello everyone on YYE, its been a super long time since I have been on here, and I have even taken quite a break from yo-yoing due to family emergencies and my own health problems. I’m posting this to let everyone know I am doing okay, (for now) and I do think about you guys as a community, and as a family. I’m slowly picking back up where I left off when I was yo-yoing. I cant wait to post videos, pictures, and of course threads here in the forums. My yoyo skills have diminished sadly, and I’m no longer as good as I once was. But I’m just happy to be back and being a thrower again. I hope everyone is doing well and I look forward to seeing you on the threads, and you can find me on IG. I was honestly wondering what was going on with you! Hadn’t seen you on in forever! Great to see you back! Hopefully things keep going well! 🙂 ---

Hey all, I know this is my first post on the forum but I used to be pretty active in TheYoStore and other old communities back in the day. I was in the yo-yo scene around 2004-2006 and had a good collection of YYJs at the time. A while ago, my car got broken into while I was visiting my girlfriend and someone stole my yo-yo case from my car, likely thinking it was some sort of laptop case. Most of the yo-yos were replaceable like fireballs and raiders, but I lost a few yo-yos that I haven’t been able to replace. A Black Nova, Clessiah, Sigma Blade, and SpinMaster. It recently came to my attention that YYJ went out of business and that’s what lead me to buying some yo-yos that I remember fondly from that era. I know it’s a long shot, but I’m back at this forum to check in on my old stomping grounds and hopefully pick up stuff that means a lot to me. ---

Hey folks, Some 12 years ago I was a pretty active modder… and on the forums every day. I had to sell my lathe (boo) and I dropped out of the community. I’m way behind on the latest yoyos… (I’m an old fart) But I still throw every day and have lots of yoyos that I would like to sell. So once I get the hang of posting images again, I’ll start up on BST. By any chance if you remember me or have some of my old ‘Feral Mods’, I would love to hear from you and what you think of em. Cheers Feralparrot ---

Hi, I have been yoyoing for a few months and I love it. I use a YYF Replay Pro for 1A, but I want to get the YYF Flight for off-string yoyoing soon. I can do lots of tricks and it looks like there is a lot of great info on here. I’ll see you around. ---
