Welcome brother… To be honest, I probably spend more time in the forum than throwing, so I’m sure this place will keep you interested… About improving, I like the Trick a Week thread, I have been learning a lot there… And despite I spend some time here, I still dont know how to link the thread in a post, sorry. Hahahah ---

Hey Everyone! My name is Andy. I was a frequent collector/basic yoyoer when I was younger and decided to jump back into the hobby. I dove head first back in and picked up a One Drop Intro and have been enjoying learning how to bind. I’m really enjoying having a hobby that gets me away from screens (although I’ve been looking up tutorials on the tube) while stuck in the house. I hope to learn a lot more from the community here and toss money at stuff people are getting rid of! ---

Hey everybody! My name is Christopher Cotton… I was born and raised in birmingham al. I’m a filmmaker with a passion for yoyoing. Ive been yoyoing on and off for about 20 years. Just recently started throwing more than I ever have since I’m starting to get older (almost 30), I stopped skateboarding because I cant afford to get hurt anymore, and now If I’m not filming or gaming then I’m yoyoing. I recently started a youtube channel and new Ig that I’m going to start posting on so if you are interested in that,then my name on both is breakaway cotton. Have a blessed day everyone 🙂 ---

I started with the Sage. Don’t know if you realize, but you can put a wider bearing in it to make it unresponsive. I don’t recall if you need a longer axle too, careful. I still pick her up every once in a while but seems to have a bunch on vibe from getting smacked around so much. Welcome to the forums!! ---

The Intro was a happy accident for me. I, honestly, didn’t know anything about One Drop until I found them playing Terraria. It’s been super fun to learn on – One of the best accidents ever. ---

I’m Brian from Orlando, FL. I’m an old guy (almost 50) trying to learn new tricks. Started throwing almost 2 years ago, but stopped because life. I’ve been working at home during the pandemic, picked it up again and wondered why I ever put it down. I can’t do whole lot yet, but just trapeze to brother to undermount and bind is fun and relaxing. Just picked up a One Drop Deeper State (Saturday Market) to go along with a One Drop Benchmark V (Blue) and a One Drop Deep State (Gray Scale). Have 2 fixed axle throws coming from Ebay. A BC Blackbird and Apollo. I work in IT and have the wife, kids, dog, and mortgage. I enjoy music, reading, Gator football, and Liverpool football (soccer). Before the pandemic I coached rowing. Cheers. ---

Hi everybody! My name’s Scott and I’m just a guy in my mid-30’s that refuses to grow up. I’m new to this forum, but have been throwing regularly for almost 2 years now. I originally learned some basic responsive tricks on a Duncan Butterfly when I was a kid. In the Summer of 2019, I was going down the Reddit rabbit hole and somehow ran into r/Throwers. After watching some A-RT and One Drop videos, I was hooked. I ordered a Sage starter pack that week and have been throwing every day since. The first metal throw I got was a OD Top Deck (ordered from YYE) and it is still my favorite to this day. Anyway, it’s good to be here and I look forward to learning and getting to know all of you wonderful people! ---
