Hi, my name is Sam. I had yoyos when I was a kid and then bought a few newer ones in the 90s and now got interested in them again. I am OLD, but am just a rank beginner thrower. We didn’t have the Internet or access to videos when I was young. Now the web is full of them and apps make learning easily accessible. I only throw because I enjoyed it as a kid and now it gives my old hands something to do. Enjoy! ---

Name is Sam. I am 70… retired and old enough to do things that I enjoy. I don’t plan on being a master thrower like all of you younger peeps. But, I am going to try and have some fun. ---

Well for the record, I am not a master thrower like many others. I just love to collect, invest, hoard, etc… I do plan to stop buying and start trying some actual tricks here and there. Breakaway was my hardest hurdle. Now I just sit there on the trapeze thinking, what next? ---

Thats kinda the nice thing about this hobby. To me, it welcomes all throwers equally, if you just want to throw the yoyo up and down all day that’s no more or less of a yoyoer than someone like Gentry imo and I think this community really emphasizes that, which I love. ---

Hey 👋🏼 I’m Brittney, 33 wife and stay at home mom to 5 young kids. I hadn’t thrown a yo-yo since I was a kid until a few weeks ago and my husband jumped headfirst full speed into the rushing sea of yo-yos and very luckily lived to see another day. Seeing as how WE are so invested now, I might as well start trying to expand the horizon and learn some new tricks and give the old man some friendly competition :wink:. Now he knows he just has to learn how to share the good ones with me which is going to be so DIFFICULT for him! ---

Welcome all to the Forums. It’s a great and very welcoming community. “Take the Iceberg!!!” I find one of the coolest things is the age disparity between us all. Yet when we discuss yoyos, it doesn’t matter at all. I am 56, as are a bunch of us apparently. Some older, lots younger. I bought a yoyo off a young guy on here the other day. We were chatting back and for and it feels like there is a connection. At least if we ever ended up in the same room we would have lots to talk about. I have probably bought about 30 yoyos since Covid lockdowns started. The Iceberg was one of my first, and I still return to it often. Cheers Rob.
