Hello all! My name is Nick New to yoyoing and enjoying learning what types of yoyo’s I like best currently. So far I think my favorite yoyo is my one-drop lunar eclipse and my favorite trick is a tie between ‘kobe’ and ‘magic trick’ so far as the ones I’ve learned! I found out about yoyoexpert through just shopping for yoyo’s and found its a good BST scene which is great because trading yoyo’s seems way awesomer than buying new ones! ---

Hey guys, my name is Kyle and I’m 18 but was I introduced to yoyos back when I was 14. My uncle introduced me to yoyos and I thought it was cool. He got me a cheap yoyo and I learned basic moves like binds, split the atom up until kwijibo… after that I sort of stopped playing throughout high school which I struggled a lot. However, I met up with him about a month ago and he let me try. When I threw my fingers remembered what to do and the memories sort of began flooding in. I didn’t even realize we could lube the bearing and had to replace response pads, so I bought some and when I maintained my old yoyo, the performance was way better and I found enjoyment in playing again. So I bought a new yoyo, the jackknife and now I really want to improve myself and just have fun in throwing. I’m new here but nice to meet everyone! ---

Hello, my name is Jim. I’m an old guy who used to play with Duncan’s back in the 70’s. In the early 2000’s I ran across a toy store that was closing and i bought several yoyos. I’ve got a couple of Custom AXLs and a Reactor. Also a Yomega Metallic Missile in gold. I have not opened this one. I recently found these in my stored toy box and started playing the AXL and Reactor again. This led me to investigate yoyos on the internet. I discovered the amazing tricks people are accomplishing with the non-responsive yoyos and I wanted to learn it. So I bought an MK1 Contact. So far I can bind and can almost complete a man on the trapeze. I mess up the bind at the end. If I can get enough time, I’ll get that down in a day or so. I look forward to just hanging around learning more about yoyoing. -Jim ---

Welcome! I really enjoy hearing about how folks get into (or back into) yoyos, having gone through a similar path myself, though not quite as long ago. Thanks for picking up a Contact! One of my favorite yoyos I’ve designed. Did you get the bind down yet? ---

Mark, Thanks for the welcome. I am getting better with the bind, but not 100%. I have made about 3-4 successful Trapeze into a bind return, but it never seemed that I knew what I was doing. It just happened. I’ll keep working on it. I am going to move on to other tricks and then come back. With me, it seems that trying and failing at new stuff, makes old stuff easier. I love learning! ---
