Glad you’re here! Seriously. I’m 52. No kids because I haven’t grown up yet myself. No matter what question you have you will find the answer here! A few days ago I had a stuck axle - halfs would not unscrew. Put it in the freezer for 15 minutes. Problem solved!

I’ve already learned a ton on here and I’m glad I found this place! I’m having a blast with this yoyo. I may or may not have already bought a dozen throws. Luckily my wife thinks they cost $8-$10 each!
Anybody have a good tip on how to make them not hurt your hand on the way back? Not a big deal for just a little bit; but, after a day of playing, the old palm’s a little tender!

Wearing gloves is good. Putting on baby powder helps prevent string burn.

You’ll get used to it! I’m more worried about hitting my teeth so I keep my mouth shut when practicing (except for some mild cussin’)!

Though this thread has been inactive for a few days, I feel posting here isn’t in vain. Hey, my name’s Ashley! It’s been a few years since I’ve thrown but I just got a YYF Space Crown a few days ago and I’ve been making swift progress 😃 Just wanted to introduce myself and say it’s good to get to learning 1A again \<3

Hi! I’m Carlos. I like trickster mythology, feeling out the edges of barriers, hunting, hiking, fishing, martial arts, walking my bulldog, and throwing yoyos when my hands are (reasonably) unencumbered.
I throw 5a. My fingers are constantly covered in bandaids from nasty bruises, so I’m a really shoddy typer - sorry!
I started throwing with a Duncan white/orange butterfly back in the 80s, I realized early on that it HURTS when you get a hard recall or unexpected recall, I got pretty solid at doing Smothers Brothers level 2a one-handed, and forget bout it after college.

I have a coworker who was getting into throwing though, a few months back, and I looked up the currrent state of play and was flat out mind-blown by the bearings and 4a, 5a, etc… So I jumped back in, and swam hard for the horizon.
Now I own a Horizon (not my favorite 5a throw - too heavy tbh) and I’ve started topping out on the 10-year-old lists of tricks you can find from Miguel or yotricks, and I’m beginning to truly feel that I have full control of the weight, string, and throw all at the same time!
But my fingers are still wrecked, so I can’t type for _crap_, sorry lol

Hi I’m Jordan
I run Smashing yoyo Company. I’m all about going to contests and meeting people. Perhaps I met you at US Nats? Maybe Iceland? Or any of the other contests I travel to (I go to quite a lot)
I was active on here a few years ago but got busy starting a yoyo company.
Hi.

@coyo7e Love those Smothers Brothers yoyo man vids. He’s actually very good at it. The dance comes from an earler, much younger Tom, performance.

Hey, I am Samuel and I have been yoyoing for a tiny bit and I am extremely bad because I use a yotech flashlight which is a modified yoyo. But I am going to get a replay pro. I already ordered it. I found this because of reviews of yoyos. I have done begleri and kendama.

It’s unresponsive. Watch videos here on how to do a bind so it comes back to your hand. It seems tricky at first but trust me, if I could learn how to do it you probably will not have any problem.

Oh yeah haha, I watched him so much as a kid. I didn’t really want to throw like that, but once I got on-string I knew what I had to do…!

Those were Loop 360s. Maybe an Oracle. I didn’t know Brain Twister was around then. I like the loop he ended it with. Cool to see clips of this.
