Well, to start, my favorite Yoyo is the YoYoFactory Shutter Wide Angle, my favorite trick is the Triple on Trapeze Release, (5A) My favorite player is Gentry Stein, and I found this place one day by, looking on [YoTricks.com](http://YoTricks.com), and my dad (who also is into yoyoing) told me about this amazing website! ---

I have been lurking for a little while now, finally decided to make an account and introduce myself. My name is Quentin, and I just recently got back into playing with yo-yos. Back about twenty years ago they were a fad in school, everybody had one, I never got very good doing only the basic around the world, walk the dog, tricks like that. Well now they are making resurgence in my children’s elementary school, I ordered them all their own yoyo’s and they were quickly getting frustrated trying to learn tricks out of the Duncan hand book. I have since ordered myself the dv888 and now as a family we are all trying to learn together watching Yoyo expert videos and playing together, we all struggle with even the basics still lol, but it’s a fun learning experience and gives us all a healthy activity to do together. ---

Welcome. I have that Duncan trick book too. It makes difficult tricks seems incredibly simple. I did not get much use out of it. Only after I learned some of the tricks from other sources was I able to decipher the Duncan trick book illustrations. ---

Yeah those trick illustrations are very vague, thankfully yoyo expert has some great videos and making it substantially easier to figure out. Thanks for the welcome ---

Thanks for the welcome John, my daughter is ten, she’s my eldest and seems to pick up a lot of it easier than us men in the house, lol, she is a natural at almost everything she does. But me and my boys are still having lots of fun with it and hopefully will start making progress as the weeks go by ---

This sounds like a lot of fun! My oldest is 5 and she has a small yoyo collection (pulse and first base) but she’s a little small to yoyo well. It’s hard when you’re super tiny and need to use a really short string! Doesn’t give much room for error! ---

I hear you, my youngest son is 6 and he struggles, I made the mistake of cutting his Yoyo string to what I thought would be his length, and it made it pretty much unusable, now I keep his strings longer and he plays off the side of the stairs or the couch.
