Hi, my name is david, I’m currently in 8th grade, and I’ve been yo yoing since 2016, but have never truly gotten into the depths of unresponsive yo yoing until mid-2017. I first learned how to throw/use a unresponsive yoyo, like the skyva, off of yotricks, but now i’m currently training for the PNWR comp. ---

So, I’m clearly not new here, but I haven’t really yoyo’d in like 5 or 6 years. For some reason though, I’m starting to get interested in coming back. I’m pretty out of the loop (pun kinda intended?) with what’s happened since I haven’t been paying attention to the yoyo community. I’ll probs drop a trick video in a few weeks as I start to start to get back in the groove. 🙂 ---

Hey everyone my name is Quentin or Q, just got here. I am still pretty new to the yo-yoing world and not great at tricks either! I’m 20 as of now and just starting my yoyo collection. I currently have an Illuminum Dream by yoyofactory and I just got my Iceberg a couple days ago. I’ve also been starting to get into different styles so I have 2 oracles, a yoyofactory flight offstring yoyo, and a counterweight. Excited to be a part of the community! ---

Hello, i’m Mauro, an italian 20yrs old male that’s just getting into yoyos. I’ve purchased a Yoyo Factory ONE an i’ve been having a lot of fun in the past month. Still getting the hang on a lot of tricks (spare time is hard to come by) but i really like the yoyo overall feel and sense of accomplishment when you finally manage to put that trick down. I’m hoping to get to know other yoyoers (if it’s a word?) here and perhaps get some advice on some tricks or issues i may be running into in the near future ^^ [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/introduce-yourself/51.md?page=295) [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/introduce-yourself/51.md?page=297)
