Hello everyone. My name is Alexander and I picked up a yoyo again 3 months ago. Threw a bit in my teens (90’s) then interest kind of tapered off for almost 20 years. My kids dug up my old throw ([Yomega Saber Raider](https://i.redd.it/zadefr8c8pf71.jpg)) and after throwing it for a couple of minutes thought "I bet I can get a better yoyo than this nowadays. Lo and behold I could. And it’s been a lot of fun ever since. Outside of this hobby I spend a lot of time with my 5 kids. At work as a Software Test Analyst and in my other hobbies on the Judo mat and in my workshop as a [knifemaker.](https://www.lxblades.com/) Current favorite throw is the MagicYoyo Focus in blue with rainbow rims. Most recent trick I finally got (sort of) down after a few weeks of working on it is Magic Drop/Shockwave. Looking forward to interacting with you guys. Alexander ---

Thanks. Yeah I take a couple of minutes to try something new every day. Best way to progress in my experience. Plus offcourse…practise whenever I have the chance. ---

Hey guys! My name is Sam from New Jersey, and I recently just got back into throwing. I was into yoyoing back in middle / high school from around 2010-2015. A few days ago had a yoyo video pop up in my YouTube recommended and I thought i’d give this another go! Seems like a whole lot has changed in the last 7 years! Got any recommendations for a new throw? I really enjoyed the YYF Aviator 2 back in the day. Real excited to start posting on here and hopefully getting to know some of yall! ---

Welcome to the forums! Glad you stumbled across yoyos, it’s a fun and enriching hobby. Wow, the Aviator 2, that’s a classic. Quite a few people want a re-release of that yoyo. I think you should try out the Neo Genesis, it seems pretty similar. ---

Hello all, San Diego resident here, i have been throwing since around 2008, I don’t know why i haven’t created an account on here ever (especially since I’ve purchased many yoyos here. As of growing older and being able to afford the yoyos i want, my tastes as a collector have refined, and thus, I’m sure part of my reason in being here is to explore the BST’s. I hope to be relatively active, post my collection and such, cheers everyone. ---
