Hey All, My name is DT Mirizzi. I am coming back to throwing after 13 years. I started throwing when I was in middle school. Now that I am out of college I found my old Spyy yoyo in my parents closet and started throwing again. ![PXL_20210625_042424381](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/5/5/655391fb9ff56e6c31a928d127f3649cf8115757.jpeg) . ---

Yeah, I live near the water so the last bearing rusted, so i replaced it. Not sure if bearing tech improved over these last few years but dang it plays better than it used to. Even with the light corrosion. ---

Hi there - my name is Jason, and I started yo-yo with my son after last christmas. We are really enjoying it and are steadily working through the tricks on the YoTricks level up app. We are both high fifties level after 6 months. We have also become collectors as I am sure most do with this hobby. We even built a custom box for fun to house our yoyos. Anyway, I am currently really enjoying my Throwback Winter Solstice, and working on the trick, “Supercharger”. ---

HI guys - and thanks for the welcomes! Yes my son and I have a blast doing it together and challenging each other. We have different skill sets so also help each other with learning tricks. We needed something to store the yo-yos in once we started getting a significant number, and didn’t want them to just be able to fall off the table or whatever. So we started with just a simple butt-jointed box. Then I added a center shelf that allows yo-yos to fit underneath and on top. It also divides our sides, so we know where ours are. We have a lot of the same yo-yos. We call the top ones the “top shelf” yo-yos, and even have a separated area for the current favorite. Below, we can store yo-yos not as frequently used, or, my son also calls it the “dungeon” for those yo-yos that failed us on a trick (because it is always the fault of the equipment, not the user 🙂 ). Anyways, thanks again for the welcome notes! ---

Hello from Arizona. I’m 67 years old and started yo-yo during the pandemic shut-down. I have found it has helped with hand-eye coordination. I have gravitated towards fixed axle and modern responsive. My most prized yo-yo as of now is my Daytripper. I also have the Legend Wing and Yomega Alpha Wing. ---

Hi guys! My name is Niki and I’m from Shanghai~ Yoyoing was huge in China back when I was in primary school, because everyone watched Blazing Teens! It was kinda cringe now thinking about it because we used to have “team/solo battles” during breaks and compete with each other with our best tricks :joy: After almost 10 years later, I’m starting to pick up the hobby again! I’m not a great thrower, but I like to collect and help out the community just a little! If you have any questions about counterfeits, I may be able to help. 😁 ---
