I remember when I first started learning spirit bomb. Took me about 10 days straight to actually get it consistent. 🙂 ---

Hello everyone. My name is Clarence and I’m in the Orlando, FL area. I started yo-yoing in the early 90’s with a Duncan Glow Imperial. I’ve managed to stay slightly current, buying a new one every now and then. I never really got past the basics until I was bored being home on furlough. SInce then, I’ve improved quite a bit. Most of my collection is Duncan with a few other brands. Mostly into looping, I recently started learning 1A so I bought a responsive YoYoFactory Replay. Now if I can just consistently land on the string, I’ll be set. ---

Hey! So I just saw this, after making a few posts and commenting, but I wanted to come and introduce myself anyway. My name is Jason and I’ve been a yoyoer since I was probably 5 or 6. I was raised on Duncan and Yomega and generally did looping tricks, because that was all i really knew of and I didn’t have an unresponsive yoyo as a kid, but yeah, every so often, I get super into yoyos again and then throw myself into it (I’m currently doing this; I think its for good this time, though). My current goal is to become proficient and doing string tricks and also building a really cool collection. Nice to meet you all! I hope to interact with y’all soon. ---

Hello, My name is Christian I started throwing during the craze in like ‘99. Had the bumble bee and every person I knew that threw talked about the SBII. Stopped throwing. Then I met some people throwing unresponsive 888s. After that I fell in love with the Hspin G&E. Stopped again. I just started back up, after seeing these amazing 66percent’s…so awesome! So yeah, back in it for these little yo-yos! Got a YF heist and the 66% edge Rusty, so I’m reacquainting myself and brushing up on the slack tricks. ---

Hello, everyone! A quick introduction… My name is Josh (my brother calls me Shwa) and I’m a late 40’s something that decided to pick up a yoyo. It was really a tool to help me put down the nicotine!. Its working but now I have a yoyo problem! 🙂 about a year in and I’ve already gone from plastic to metal to bi-metal! YoTricks has been my go to and has been really helpful. This is not an easy hobby. I watch some of you more experienced throwers and it just blows me away. Looking forward to learning more and hopefully spreading the good news. Shwa ---

Welcome to the Forums. I just turned 54 last month and started for realz about 2 years ago and I too am amazed, no, astounded at the skill level of these youngins. I’m just pretty darned happy and excited that I am way better than I was 2 years ago. That’s all that matters to me. ---
