This is what we’re talking about, [YoYoFactory Grind Machine | YoYo Wiki | Fandom](http://yoyowiki.org/wiki/YoYoFactory_Grind_Machine) This is the real “Grind Machine”. If he’s talking about GM2, then all my advice was wrong. But the metal grind machine is really responsive. ---

Hey guys! I’ve started yoyoing about a month ago, and I’m hooked xD I can only do intermediate tricks for now, but I’ll move on soon! I use a SpeedMaker now, but I want to get a Speeder or an X-ConVict. I found out about here from… Google, I guess, when I got my SpeedMaker. It’s a great site, and… Hello, I guess XD ---

So I only count 3 months. ;D My favorite yoyo is the CLYW BvM. My favorite trick is one I made up. Your hands get crossed like in Kwyjibo, but you end up in a GT. ---

Hey everyone 8) The name is Chris, and just came across these forums today. I first learned some yo-yo about 25 years ago when my dad showed me the few things he knew. Mainly that you are supposed to creat a slipknot in the loop instead of putting your finger in the loop ;D I thought I was pretty cool as a kid to know that. He tough me how to do a sleeper, a simple retrieve, and his topper was a hop the fence. Since then I’ve picked one up now and then and messed around with those tricks, and walk the dog, around the world, and something like a forward pass. I never really knew how to do anything and had only seen the “pro” guys a few times. Last week I decided to try to actually learn some things so I’ve been across a few sites the last several days. I’ve usually played with a Yomega Fireball because you can find them in local stores now and then. I bought a pair of Profires last week too, and that’s what I’ve been using. Over the last few days I’ve learned the elevator, breakaway, and some decent loops. I’ve ordered a few more yos to try the variety, and went mainly with what I saw recommended the most: a veloctiy, a 720, and a pair of pulses. I really like loops more but I feel like I’ll probably want to learn some string tricks soon too. I found this site by a link on YoYoNation forums, where I’ve been mostly lurking for a few days. They have a nice forum too but from my short time on both I think the “atmosphere” here is much more friendly. Anyway, thanks for hosting such a great place and thanks for having me! ---

Hello, My daughters received yoyo’s as a birthday party favor and after the first few throws promptly broke them. They seemed to want to keep trying so we went to target and picked up some Duncan ProFires. I never learned to yoyo as a kid and decided to checkout the what the internet could teach me. A few weeks later and only one of my daughters is still interested (slightly) but I now have my own Duncan Profire, Duncan Imperial and Henry’s Lizard. Found this site through a recommendation by a store clerk and loved the video’s. I am still on the beginners tricks but am having a blast. The Lizard seems like a good intro butterfly and I am now looking for a good intro imperial that won’t break the bank. ---
